Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #folk #singersongwriter

Hail, heroes! It’s day one 1, we did it! Please forgive my voice on the recording, as I have been down with a horrible cough since Monday and barely have a voice (what a cruel and unusual way to start FAWM, I know!).

I had grand ambitions of composing and finishing a song in Logic, but the brain fog of being sick wouldn’t let me get past autobiographical lyrics and simple strumming. So, to kick us off, I have a gentle little vignette of mine & my partner’s trip to San Diego last week for his mom’s 60th birthday.

Lyrics

West of Maricopa, cruise control at 65
Just a couple lovers bound for the oceanside
Driving through the desert
Past the white sand of the dunes
We retrace our steps, it feels like deja vu

When we used to make our livin’
Livin’ on the road
That’s a bygone era
We run on different code, but

Some things stay the same,
No matter how much we may change
You’re still my guiding light
I’d follow you to any horizon
Eyes on the road
I’ll go wherever you go

At our destination, pulling into the hotel
Old Town San Diego, full of flavors, sights, and smells
We meet up with your parents, Mariachi serenade
I am starry-eyed, that doesn’t take a lot these days

I sink into the glow of everything that’s going right
How lucky we are to be here
We made it out of last year

Some things stay the same,
No matter how much we may change
You’re still my guiding light
I’d follow you to any horizon
Hand in your hand
I’m satisfied wherever we land

In our hotel room
Too long after midnight
We’re both losing sleep
Thinking hard about our families
When the morning comes
It finds us still awake
I’ll take my time as we make our way

Some things stay the same,
No matter how much we may change
You’re still my guiding light
I’d follow you to any horizon
Eyes on the road
I’ll go wherever you go
