Liner Notes

Not sure why the verses make me feel like I ripped off The Beatles. Theres elements of their writing such as the use of pivot chords, going from 4 to 4-, secondary dominants etc.. but I can't place it. Perhaps one of you can tell me if theres a reference track that would prove I did in fact rip em off.

Not really sure what this song is about conceptually. I wrote the lyrics in an effort to get out of a negative headspace I was in that day. Let me know in the comments if you get any sort of messaging from the lyrics! I'd be curious to know. I spent a small amount of time writing it so I won't be offended at any real talk or critiques.

Lyrics

Thoughts rise and fall, like the sun I had a dream, we were all one Floating open, clear as the day Free to go out, here just to stay

Every piece put in Shadows hang over mountains Peaceful thoughts will win Shapes take colour again

I don't know what when or why I'm just a normal guy

Thoughts rise and fall, like the tide Man on the moon, hands by his side Sleep so sweetly, hold my hand Free to let go, keys thrown astray

Every piece put in Shadows hang over mountains Peaceful thoughts will win Shapes take colour again

I don't know what when or why I'm just a normal guy

There is definitely a Beatles feel but I don't think you ripped off anything. This has a really nice feel to it and let's all keep working on those peaceful thoughts becuase I really want shapes to take colour again.

Thanks for your comments!

Can't place any Beatles track this resembles. I'm getting a serenity vibe from the lyrics. Very nice job with this.
