Right Where I Left It

by @rvaross

Liner Notes

I was in the grocery store when I started this one up. From there, I just leaned into feelings of missed connections, lost love, and chances we won’t get back.

Lyrics

Saw you today at the market From a distance away You checked out and took your receipt, made your exit It was all too familiar Me frozen there, watching you leave You reached in your pocket to grab your keys, and I remembered…

There it is…

There’s my heart right where I left it Right in your pocket, you’ve probably forgotten it’s there I guess that fair Cause it’s been so long since you held all my hopes in the palm of your hand, our wishes and plans Doesn’t it seem when you’re having a dream That life wakes you right up And then dumps a whole bucket of cold water onto your head

Oh it was nice to see you Hope that you’re happy and free Please take of that heart in your pocket for me

You reached in your pocket and there it is…

There’s my heart right where I left it Right in your pocket, you’ve probably forgotten it’s there I guess that fair Cause it’s been so long since you held all my hopes in the palm of your hand, our wishes and plans Doesn’t it seem when you’re having a dream That life wakes you right up And then dumps a whole bucket of cold water onto your head

It was so nice to see you I wish I could take it all back And I wish it was me you were leaving to see when you went to your car with your bags

I bet you’re still so enchanting Hope that you’re happy and free Please take of that heart in your pocket for me

🫠 another gem...the "simple" instrumentation of guitar and keys complement so well with your vocals...solid harmonies and a full sound. Heart was tugging as you articulated " That life wakes you right up And then dumps a whole bucket of cold water onto your head". Great visual, great song Ross!

Well-executed double-tracked acoustics? Great tone and tuning and vocals. This is my favorite track that I've heard so far this FAWM. Chills galore.

Such great imagery throughout. It's a wonder that you can pack so much lyrical content in and still have it feel musical. I've been really enjoying your work this month. Keep it up!

Great example of a song about a missed connection. Good guitar playing, nice lyrics, and wonderful singing.
