Liner Notes

Spent all day on this guy. Thought it was gonna be a more funky song to begin with, then I started from scratch with the same chords but made it more of a pop-rock-lovey-songy. Wrote about the theme that I often resort to for love songs on the spot which is something along the lines of “everything sucks except you”. Also I recorded drums on a Zoom H2 in my garage quietly to see if my new neighbors yelled at me. So far so good.

Lyrics

2 steps away from the front door in the coldest mornin
Re-read the head of the front page at my desk when I should be workin, workin
But I’d rather be, you and me, waiting to be

Seems like the world, is still you and me babe, were makin it happen we’re
Fresh from the vine, I picked you and kept you, I’m better off living with
you on my mind, it’s still you and me babe the fantasy’s thriving for me, me you and me

Needing escape, from this old world and it’s ever after
Depleting my faith, in the midst of the happy ending that
I asked for, and I’ll keep on believing that it’s gonna happen before, they shut the door

Seems it will be, just you and me babe
We’re fighting the odds and we
Don’t have to leave, we’re reading instructions interpreting feelings
And me, and my mind, are set on beginning the end of my living with you, you only you
And me you and we gotta be

always gonna be, me and you baby
We can’t keep it waiting let’s be, still you and me

Wowee those drums sound killer. Everything sounds so good together actually. Dude maybe you need to revert back to worse recording gear permanently because it's bringing out some cool stuff ha! Great octaved vocals and harmonies in the chorus and that final progression in the chorus is so neat.

So good, I love this bass sound, whatever you did to it, I like it...and that chorus is great the way all these different things just come in. I like that depleting my faith in the midst of a happy ending...and speaking of endings this one is epic! Love the way it builds to that. Screw the neighbors, it was worth it

Smashing chorus! Reminds me of the way ABBA would write melodies with the intervals and all. Well done. Thanks 🙏

Man that guitar is recorded with such a good amount of compression on it. Great chord progression, definitely something I would put on while driving!
