Liner Notes

#folk #acousticonetake #lovesong

Gosh I am so far behind. This is a one take acoustic diddy I made up today.
I messed up a lyric when singing and missed a word, oh well.

Lyrics

Your eyes are sparkling gems
It’s the first thing that I noticed
Wish I could see you again
I think that we could be friends

Your face is soft like a cloud
Your lips are from a dream
Nobody wake me up
Until I’ve seen everything

Darling I know you fear the end is near
The train stops many places but it doesn’t stay here

They say life has meaning
When there’s someone to bear witness
So I’m here, so you know, just saying

I’m feeling like a fool
You’re so much better in life
Orchids won’t bloom much
Until you give them more light

You’re a crystal angel
Translucent white
Uncanny ability to stop time

Cool tune! Love that chorus with the doubled vocal, feels like something from The Shins.

I love a good acoustic one-take! This is a great! I love "Nobody wake me up / Until I’ve seen everything."

Your easy, earnest voice pairs great with the big open chords, and both perfectly suit the style. Those doubled vocals are super effective too!

@marthie 2w

Love your voice and friendly open approach to playing guitar. Like the metaphor of train stopping many places.

@liamlieblein 2w

This is really great guitar work for a one-take, damn! I really like the vocal delivery too, really conveys that daydreamy feeling when you're in the early stages of love-sickness. As others have said, also love the double vocals in the chorus, really adds a lot. Great work!

"Darling I know you fear the end is near / The train stops many places but it doesn’t stay here" is quite nice. In daily life I find "just saying" irksome, but it works really well here and doesn't irk me a bit. Solid song all around.

Ooh loved this, delectable when the vox are double tracked. Feels like an absolute classic, took me a million miles away form my office. awesome job!

@beej 2w

really like those chorus "darlings"... the harmony/doubled vocals pump up the chorus just right. I'm not normally a lyrics guy, but something about the words really speaks to me
