Liner Notes

# Liner
I have recently found myself in a parked car for two hours weekly. I've taken advantage of this most dull of moments to write songs armed with nothing but a pen, a pad, and my guitalele. This song is the second one I've written in such a manner. I'm quite happy to have the ability, the time, and the privilege to do this and it warms my heart to no limit.

As far as the song itself, I'm not 100% sure what it is about. There is the theme of loving someone who doesn't love you, but there is also this element of feeling like the reason is that the life lived is unworthy of the love. A plea to look upon a life empty of free will and to love others simply for the fact that they are. A cry from someone unable to love themselves but desperately needing love to live.

Regardless, the genesis of the song was from the idea of "the time after birth", "spring", "life", which came from a reflection on the greek work "eiar", and how this word has wormed itself into my life without invitation.

# Notes

Messed up the seventh to last word but it was the best take so far so shipping it. Not hot on the start of the bridge but maybe it will grow on me or something else will come. A few lines should be reworked but trying to get this one recorded so I don't forget how it goes.

I'm having trouble coming up with a good title for this one, which is unusual for me, typical the titles write themselves. I settled on Love Light. Maybe it will stick.

Lyrics

[cp5 gt]

Am - G - F - G
I'm still searching
for the time after birth
what good is this life
if we don't live with love

as the crowd fades away
done with the accolades
that creeping feeling of loneliness
is the only one i've known

i may be real simple
measured in my thought
and everything i do
leaves dust upon my heart

em g
what right do the stars
f am
have to shine upon the moon
em g
what right does the moon
f am
have to shine upon the sun
dm - g - am
with what right do i seek your love tonight

you'll never go far
when there's no place to go
and the tallest of towers
lives upon the dirt

i am no different
then who you try to be
the only difference
is who is lying to who

i may be mediocre
a true common man
but every time your around
my heart beats to this sound

[chorus]

bridge c - g -am
springs gonna bring with a thaw
and hopes once dashed will be found
my heart will never forget your face
my songs will never not sing your grace
dm - g - am
will you ever love me despite my faults
dm - em - am
will you ever love me despite my faults

[chorus]
