Liner Notes

I loved the lyrics when I read them. I felt they needed a gentle touch, so I kept things pretty simple with the hope of hitting the mark.

On the technical side, either Kontakt 7 or my DAW wouldn't allow me to render the violin as audio, so I couldn't smooth off the end of the last violin note. A modern day problem, I suppose.

Lyrics

Floating on my back in the pool
Weightless bubble oasis of cool
My drink’s been delivered and it’s waiting for me
Worked hard in the sun for this place by the sea

I wait at the back for the curtain to rise
Rehearsed like a demon for these butterflies
I blazed like a flame in the eyes of the crowd
And smiled till I cried when I took my bow

I’m where I’m supposed to be
This moment in time
is divine destiny
It’s how I had dreamed it would go
A present, this present felt deep in the soul

I ride the wave out and I catch your look
We prepared about everything and read all the books
And when we heard the hungry, hard cry
Our reasons for living answered the why

I’m where I’m supposed to be
This moment in time
is divine destiny
It’s how I had dreamed it would go
A present, this present felt deep in the soul

Didn’t always get it right
My compass got lost
I got on the wrong flight
But now that I’m back on the right track
I wouldn’t take anything back

I’m where I’m supposed to be
This moment in time
is divine destiny
It’s how I had dreamed it would go
A present, this present felt deep in the soul
