We Sail Together

Liner Notes

Y'all it's been a DAY. I don't know if you can tell in the demo but I'm exhausted lol.

As usual, the song started with a verse (in this case, the second one) and then I figured out what the song was about after.

Trying again to challenge my voice here, think I may have pushed a little too hard but it's fine.

Lyrics

Any weather
As long as it's with you
We sail together
On a sailboat built for two
On an ocean
Above the sea
We sail together
Just you and me

Across a vast and endless new horizon above it all

Drift by
On an ocean in the sky
Float by
Stop and wonder high
Just marvel at the clouds drift by
Above it all

And hear the bird sing to you

We drift together
Off to seas unknown
Offer a tether
With ropes that stretch and groan
We pull along
And tow all our mess
We sail this song
Across the pressure

Tides and weather
We sail through the sunrise
...

Wow, what beautiful guitar-playing! Your voice has such a lovely sound to it, and I love the lyrics, so many surprises in there, like "we sail this song across the pressure". Wonderful!

oh, nice to hear you pushing your voice like that. when I do that I hate how it sounds, and then I remind myself it's a demo and the song is like 11 minutes old and I'VE NEVER SUNG IT BEFORE. so, all things considered, very well done.

Sailing as a metaphor for life works so well. Lovely lyric.

The phrasing, how you tie some lines together, is marvelous.

You're playing and vocals are so nice. My favorite line: We pull along
And tow all our mess - perfect.
