Liner Notes

A collaboration with my Patreon songwriting class. We had 3 Patrons join me, Dreamfield, Denise, and Tersh. I made a google doc and we each wrote a verse. Then I had each person write a chorus or verse on the other songs, so in the end there were 3 verses and a chorus, one written by each of us. Then I quickly pulled together some melodies. This one reminded me of mermaids. #mermaids #piano #harmonies

PS: I'm gifting Patreon free memberships to my $3 tier at the link on my bio :) I'm loving the support of this community and am hoping to keep in touch and keep sharing my music with you <3

Lyrics

Verse 1: (Denise)
D
I see the interesting shapes
D Em
They live together in the ocean,
A7
Along the shore they ebb and flow
(Em)
They emit a surreal glow.

Chorus:
Alice
Em A7
What’s buried underneath?
Em
What’s living in the deep?
A7
What are we hiding at the bottom of the sea
D
Why not set it free

Verse 2 - Tersh
D
Dancing porpoises around ,
D Em
jumping out to slap the ground
A7
Squiggling quick along the shore
(Em)
Then they’re gone and splash no more

Chorus:
Alice
Em A7
What’s buried underneath?
Em
What’s living in the deep?
A7
What are we hiding at the bottom of the sea
D
Why not set it free

Verse 3 - Eric
D
Whales songs ring true
D Em
Rising from the deep
A7
Echoes across the time
(Em)
In my heart you keep

Chorus:
Alice
Em A7
What’s buried underneath?
Em
What’s living in the deep?
A7
What are we hiding at the bottom of the sea
D
Why not set it free
