FAWM: "Heaven Knows"

Heaven Knows

Liner Notes

And anti love song for valentines day

#love_lost #jazzy

Lyrics

I see your face in the fading light,
A memory etched in the quiet night.
The world keeps turning
But I stand still,

Time slips through my hands
Just like grains of sand
On distant shorelines
Then it’s gone

The loss is really running away from me
Blocks the sun so I cannot see
Tears in my eyes are blinding me
And I can’t find the path

The songs that we sang,
The dreams that we made
Lie now silent in the life we laid

Now the laughter fades
And crying takes it's place
In our home now and in our hearts

Heaven knows how I will survive
How I stay alive though all this pain

Awww …truly an anti valentine song. This is so full of honest feeling angst … I like the counter melody of a plaintive trumpet as well as the harmony vocals. I like the effective percussion and repetition bridge section as a nice change up.

This feels like the end of a day — not going into nightlife like so many pop songs, but just fading away as the sun goes down. I like the tempo change in the bridge that carries the idea of light returning, but then it’s only for a minute.

I like the whole vibe of this song. It's great how you used a physical path as something that the narrator can't see due to his heartbreak. Love the jazzy horns too. Nice job.
