about

Despite the fact that this song boasts a brutally silly lyric, it makes me a little bit happy. Started out with a bit of Ben Folds/Sara Bareilles piano pop, took a detour for the New Radicals, and then suddenly acquired a shoegaze sheen that led to lots of reverb and delay and to the piano becoming a CP-70.

There's really not much worth saying about the lyrics except that, in the interest of the positive directive of the assignment, I felt compelled to write something direct. Which always creates the risk, for me, of ending up with something vapid, which I kind of did. The one thing I like about it is the real-life irony that I continually run into, being someone, like you all, that is fairly absorbed much of the time with songwriting. On the occasion that I do write something relationship-adjacent that's at all autobiographical, I often find that I'm tuning out my actual experiences with my loved ones, while I search for the perfect lines to express how to connect with those loved ones.

lyrics

you're saying something so important
didn't hear the words you said
I'm lost between these lines I'm writing
the song inside my head

can't let go of this moment
leads me straight to you
so say

I'm gonna love you better

you turned around without a warning
with no defenses raised
and in the jealous rays of morning
I raise my my eyes, amazed

all my days come together
with all intentions clear
to say

I'm gonna love you better
