I'm Searching For You

Liner Notes

#folkpop #pop #folk, #girlwithguitar
I like this song, I'm hoping I will work on it again, but having lots of issues with my recording and Soundcloud, so it is all that it can be at the moment.

Lyrics

I'm Searching for You
by Tammy Jann
© 2025

I am waiting
for your message in a bottle
for a wizard with a love spell
am I waiting for you?

I am hoping
for a paper airplane pilot
a gardner with violets
am I hoping for you?

chorus
I'm searching, searching for my muse
looking for a love that's true
I'm searching for you

I'm wondering
if you're hiking in a forest
world traveler or a tourist
wondering about you

I'm dreaming
of a gamer that can't lose
or a sailer on a cruise
do you dream of me too?

bridge
when you're with me
we will be together
together is better
better than lonely
you'll by my one and only

Outro
I'm waiting, I'm hoping
I'm wondering, I'm dreaming
I'm searching.....for you

Waiting, searching, hoping, dreaming. This gives the song a nice parallel structure. Sounds good, too! I especially like this:
"I am hoping
for a paper airplane pilot"

Ah, your gorgeous voice and evocative melody! So much longing, and hoping that the one you're searching for is also searching for you. It makes me hope too.

I like these lyrics so very much!! I've had similar feelings so many times in my life. I bet most people will relate to these. The song is extremely well composed. So familiar and yet so unique at the same time. I was instanly hooked, The chorus and the bridge are ultra excellent and catchy. Im happily humming along to my third listen as I type. This is one of my favs of yours, and Ive loved so many of them. You are such an accomplished songwriter Tammy...

@audrey 3d

What a lovely sweet melody. Beautiful performance too. It makes me hope this person will find the perfect person she's longing for. Wonderful song.

@greengrassgirl 3d

Lovely vocal and a music track that just sails along beautifully. Nice harms. I always appreciate a good bridge and you've got one here. I arrived on your page because of the comments you made on Almost Feels Like Love. I love how this works!

@ttg105 3d

So laid back and dreamy - love those 70s jazzy folk melodies and the harmony vocal on the chorus. It sounds really pure and lovely. The percussion is a good touch - keeps things rolling on nicely. The bridge is perhaps the best part - very powerful. One of your best!

@musicsongwriter 3d

Beautiful song and sentiment. Hope is in the air filled with magic and love. Gorgeous vocals and playing. Such a pleasure to listen to your song, Tammy.

@metalfoot 3d

Great melodic line and a solidly evocative lyric -- You have done a wonderful job with this song. Enjoyed the tempo shift of the bridge a lot.

@sailingmagpie 4d

Such pretty vocal melodies especially on the bits that are doubled. The idea of a paper airplane pilot is absolutely brilliant.

@cmharwood89 4d

First, the melody line is amazing, especially the verse. And its made even better by fantastic vocals.

Second, I love love the lyrics. The cycle through waiting/hoping/wondering/dreaming/back to waiting gives the song a very tense, expectant feel that's matched by that excellent melody line I mentioned above. The second stanza is my favorite with the image of a paper airplane pilot. That line, to me, sums up the emotion of wistful longing.

Fantastic piece of music.

Very sweet song of longing for love. I never, ever tire of hearing your music and your voice.

@coolparadisoMod 5d

I like the phrasing and the subtle guitar! Real emotion in the delivery, using rise and fall so well! Really nice song!

@cindyrella 5d

I love these descriptive lyrics and ohh gosh those sweet vocals!

@chandra83 5d

Beautiful and so full of longing. Well done! 💙

@mikeb 5d

We'll have to discuss production on this, there's a world of possibilities with this melody and music.

@resonut123 5d

So Nice!
Of course your lovely voice and that wonderful acoustic guitar really shine.
The percussion and the fine lyric and harmonies add to the overall smooth vibe here. Glad I searched this out, my friend!

@jeff9 5d

What a gorgeous vocal on a terrific song. Super impressive, Tammy. One of the very prettiest things on FAWM I've heard this year for sure. My compliments.

@the3queens 6d

Oh, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. Lyrics are beautiful and your voice, especially in that soaring upper range, is magnificent. Just lovely.

@pcob1993 6d

Beautiful Tammy, your voice just gets better and better... and I love the lyrics... (-I spent a day trying to get my mics to work and realised after several hours I had forgotten to assign them to a port... sometimes I just hate machinery..)
but I love this, I'm going to put it on all morning..
thank you so much.

Pretty tune and arrangement, and some nice lyrics. I especially like the idea of a paper airplane pilot.

@billwhite51 6d

both pain and optimism flavor this deep lyric that boasts some imaginative rhymes such as pilot/violets and forest/tourist. the search for one's soulmate throughout an incarnation that has separated them is a theme i am very drawn to these days. it seems impossible but so often eventually comes true. vocals capture the intensity of the search.

@max 6d

When played in front of a live audience, I bet there will be people raising their hands at the end of this song saying: 'I'm right here babe' Great listen!
