Liner Notes

#melancholy #break-up #one-take
Well, it's a song, though not the happiest. There's a bit of a buzz from the sound card, but these things happen...

Lyrics

I didn't see it coming, I guess i should have
All the signs were there, clothes upon the chair
Longing glances through the broken window,
Passing strangers in the street below
She was always looking for answers
And I just had more questions

It was great right right from the start
What we didn't have we didn't know how to miss
But as time went by, nothing seemed to change
Those opportunities fell through, like it had been arranged
I didn't realise how it affected you
You just sat and stared
Falling further down, defined by your despair
And still I carried on, things will look up soon dear
It never happened though, and I’m still right here
Swimming in the darkness, land just out of sight
Another pointless day, no respite in sight
But we still have each other
At least we have for now
Tell me that you’ll stay
For just another day

I also like the sound card buzz; adds a bit of an authenticity to the song--feels raw, reinforcing the charm of the single take.
I also loved your vocal melody. It constantly took me in directions I wasn't expecting. Lovely singing voice as well, it pairs well with your guitar work. Well done!

Buzzy sound cards will be a retro-aesthetic one day, like tape or vinyl. You’re just ahead of the curve. Nice guitarring I love a sad song. Makes me wanna just lie on the floor.
