about

A rare example of a tune where the lyrics were completed and then totally rewritten later, the initial words having never sat right with me. Sometimes you have a set of lyrics but they aren’t quite getting to the nub of what you want to say. You can either bang your head against a brick wall trying to fix them or just let things sit and come back to it with a fresh eye.

lyrics

Did you know I thought of you
As I wrote this song?
Sitting here just strumming away
Wait for words to come along
Do you know the love you give
Provides a melody
For this little tune of mine
Won’t you singalong with me?
Singalong with me
Singalong with me

We try each and every way
We can to make it through the day
I know the things I need to say
If I sang them all for you would you stay?

We all need music every day
In our hearts we sing our cares away
Do you know the things you need to say
If I played them all for you would you wait?

So don’t say we’re near the end
Don’t say it’s all been filler
It’s just the tricky part
These middle-8s are killer

Do you ever think of me?
I wrote you a song
Sitting here just strumming away
Wait for words to come along
Do you know how hard it was
For me to write this song?
Well that’s what I did today
And now my song is sung
