Unparallel
Liner Notes
I'm not going to tag it in the challenge because "unparallel" has been used in language before (though very rarely).
Very rough demo, this song is for and about my med school best friend. I'm hoping to expand it after traveling a bit with harmonies and violin!

Lyrics
You reached out your hand The day we reunited While I had thought you had forgotten 'Cuz I'd want to forget myself too
Mediocre margs and memories Dead horses that we never had the chance to beat Together
Can you sit while I unpack My clothes and all my fears These pants are from a thrift shop But these demons, I've owned for years
We're not so different, you and I With all the noise we keep Inside
You slept next to me While meteors kept striking, I asked how the world keeps spinning You gently smiled, Said "take one hour at a time"
I echo it back to you When your darkness obscures the truth I know I'm doing something right If I'm half as good as you
And if you're feeling out of place I'll help to bring you back to grace
Fall apart into me Fall apart into me
It's been two weeks too long Let's meet at our old spot You never looked more at ease When you have no one to please
Let's find all the airport codes Travel times on the toll roads Set our parents up on playdates They'll have someone when We move away
These unparallel lines Will come together Sometime

Love the way your vocal soars and dips and trips and flies over the simple compelling guitar chords. Powerful stuff. Have you shared this with your friend?
This is such a sweet song. So many fire bars! I particularly enjoyed “Dead horses that we never had the chance to beat”, and “And if you're feeling out of place I'll help to bring you back to grace”. And your performance of it all is wonderful!
I love this guitar part! The last two verses are my favorite, and the range you’re covering vocally in those verses is so impressive.
These lyrics are so sweet and I love the “unparalleled lines” metaphor. So many guy punches in here. please please please let me know when you upload a demo I can’t wait to listen to this
Lovely lyrics. I’ll have to circle back once you post the recording! 💗
"Can you sit while I unpack My clothes and all my fears These pants are from a thrift shop But these demons, I've owned for years"
don't worry Srav, i want to cry now
Very pretty melody here, and the lyric on that third stanza is sooo good.
Can you sit while I unpack My clothes and all my fears These pants are from a thrift shop But these demons, I've owned for years
Setting up the parents on playdates is also a fun moment.
