A Love so Undisturbed
Liner Notes
Another quick production. Used Logic's auto drummer, keys player, and bassist and they went a bit buckwild. I'll definitely want to play them myself later. And my guitar playing is a bit sloppy. BUT, it puts me on track with 3 songs in 3 days, so I'll take it! Started this one on guitar, so it possesses many of my guitar-song inclinations. So that makes one synth start, one keys start, and one guitar start now.
This is a bit of an one with an intense verse and a less intense chorus. Zedd must be getting to me with his flipped intensities.
Verse 1 is about when my wife and I on our honeymoon were driving through the desert at night from Phoenix, AZ to Albuquerque, NM. It was pitch black but for some reason all the animals (field mice I guess) started timing it just right and thought it was their cue to cross when they saw our lights. After the trauma of flattening maybe 3 of them I thought to start honking the horn at regular intervals. After that they just watched us pass, dumbfounded. It was surreal and quite funny (not the pancake making).
We live in a beach area. Verse 2 is about the most unique experience we had this last year at a beach we frequent. No wind and the sound just seemed to stop. It was slightly hazy and it just felt so surreal and as though something was going to come out of the dark on the water and attack us. Like "the shoe to drop" kind of moment. Everything was just "suspended."
Doing life together with my wife, we have those special shared moments as milestones.
Lyrics
Am Capo 2
VERSE 1 Drivin’ through the night Not a light in sight Creatures scurry ‘round
Running left to right Eyes are flashing white Before our tires are found
Till I start to count And blast the horn aloud 5 seconds seems just right.
Yeah that one’s it’s win Put it to an end On this our mystic route
CHORUS And we could be In our own separate world Where we could feel A love so undisturbed
VERSE 2 On a cool summer night Where everything aligned The wind its hands were bound
Our words hung in the air But was there something there On that water flat as ice we found?
Standing all alone A moment that we own The physics our delight
Just the two of us and A beach long after dusk That dreamy summer night
CHORUS And we could be In our own separate world Where we could feel A love so undisturbed
BRIDGE What is a life but time in shared moments And what is a wife but partners in it What is a day, what is a year If we don’t unite in what we hold dear
CHORUS (x2) And we could be In our own separate world Where we could feel A love so undisturbed
Comments
you are a perfectionist! Very well done in what is a pretty complicated verse structure . The chorus is on point! All the instrument flourishes work very well
I am, indeed! But isn't that what professionalism is? At least the appearance of perfection. My taste far exceeds my skill. :) Thanks as usual for taking the time to listen and your encouragement.
Really nice voice and song! Great melody and well-written lyrics! I really like the chorus. Great job!
Nice, I like the contrast between the fast verses and slow chorus.
