Liner Notes

For the repetition skirmish.

Here I repeat one phrase, several times in each verse and chorus, I also repeat the riff between verses and the only rhymes are a repeat of "-ay" endings.

Instrument: Alto Guitar (Steel Strung Tenor Ukulele)

Lyrics

At the risk of repeating myself There is something I've got to say You know it well, but I love you And I love you more each day

I love you - I love you And never will I stray I love you - I love you. And I will 'till my dying day

I loved you when you were younger I love you now your hairs turned grey I'd love you if we lived in Dublin New York or in Bombay

CHORUS

Whether you're feeling up or down I'll still love you anyway I know you are no angel 'Cos we've both got feet of clay

CHORUS

Thanks Chip

So special and sweet and so full of … what is that subtle feeling I’m reading into the lyric…?..? Could it be fondness?… affection?…. Oh wait! I think it is of love you sing! Delightfully loving!

@berni1954 2d

Thanks. Happily, this is really what I think about life with Carmen... Well. 90% of the time, anyway 😄

@musicsongwriter 2d

Brilliant take on the prompt. Very nice to hear your song, singing and playing. Beautifully loving.

@berni1954 2d

Thanks. I think reminding yourselves that you love each other helps maintain a relationship.

@jerrypettit 2d

Terrific job on this--best lyrics about "repetition" ever. Great one! ❤️

@berni1954 2d

Wow, Jerry. Thank you so much!

@spikedirection 2d

lovely little folk number here! the repetition of I love you is very powerful, rather than trying to dress it up he just says it again and again, beautiful.

@berni1954 2d

Thanks Spike. Glad you liked it.

@max 2d

What a warm and sweet atmosphere, the repetition contributes to the intensity of the song. Nice one!

@berni1954 2d

Thanks. It seemed to be the obvious response to the prompt for me. I was surprised no-one else went for the obvious "pop" repetition. After all, it worked for the lads from my hometown of Liverpool who sang: "She loves you... Yeah, yeah , Yeah!" Most of their hits used that phrase. 😉

@gordon 2d

Lovely feel to this one. Proper good old fashioned folk music and a very good listen

@berni1954 2d

Thanks Gordon.

@hmstreetteam 2d

This one makes such a good case for repetition. The repeated hook adds conviction to the message, as does the stability throughout the song. Nicely crafted!

@berni1954 2d

I thank you, sir!

@andygriff 2d

This is so disarming, I often shy away from using that phrase in lyrics, but this is really heartfelt and charming, and uke sounds gorgeous 😃

@berni1954 2d

I thought there'd be a lot of "I Love You" songs. It must be one of the most repeated three words in the Pop Canon.
