Unparallel

by @sravanikameswari

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

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.

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
