about

Well, I started out to write another potential a+o tune this week, and I even got a good start on something I like, which will probably show up next week. In the meantime, I very quickly wrote and recorded (using Mitchell's gorgeous Gibson LG-3, which I am in imminent danger of kidnapping) this song, intended for use as a Trifecta commercial track, for a batch of songs that are intended to be intimate, stripped-down love songs. Seemed appropriate for this weekend. These songs are supposed to be genre exercises, so I wasn't shooting for the moon with this one, but I think I really like it. The lyrics are hackneyed and need work, which is fine for the Trifecta use, but if I decide to keep it myself, I'll need another pass or two. Otherwise, happy Valentine's weekend!

Oh, and in a twist of logic that I will stand behind, I'm going to decree that the demon that I'm exorcising here is my ongoing struggle with fingerpicking. In working on this song, I decided that I'm really going to woodshed on my fingerpicking over the next few weeks.

lyrics

You can only go so far
Before your race is run
You can wish on shooting stars
Brighter than the sun

Thought I’d seen the heavens’ jewels
The back side of the moon
But I had not heard anything
Until your lonesome tune

In a moment
It all changed for me
the song your eyes sent
This melody
Sung for me

and you can run as far as oceans
A league or more tonight
But I will burn a heat not measured
In grades of Fahrenheit

and we can try to solve the clues
Plumb the fevers deep
Or we can sing in harmony
And rock ourselves to sleep

In a moment
It all changed for me
the song your eyes sent
This melody
Sung for me
