Liner Notes

#rock #(Let's not) break up song

Patty says: I had an idea for an (Almost) Break-up song and I figured @bethkille would know exactly what to do! And she did! This came together quickly because she's so good at it!

Beth says: It's always a pleasure to work with Patty! She gave me the prompt of a Carole King vibe so I went with piano and lots of chords/key changes on this one. She's great at crafting relatable, singable lyrics that jump off the page into melody easily. Fun to collab!!

Lyrics

V1
I’m tired of all the shouting
Of all the ugly scenes
The love that wrapped around us
Blown to smithereens

V2
We always seem to argue
Feels like we’re at war
That sound we both are hearing
Love storming out the door

PC
I wouldn’t blame you
If this sounds confusing
In spite of all the madness
I can’t bear to lose you

Ch
Let’s take one last shot at redemption
One more chance to fly
Let's take one last shot at redemption
If you’re willing, so am I
Denim days, satin nights
We don’t have to say goodbye
One last shot at redemption
One more chance for us to fly
We don't have to say goodbye

V3
Let’s start again like strangers
This can’t be the end
Pretend we’re brand new lovers
Like we were back then

V4
And this time we’ll be smarter
Not like long ago
We’ll have a secret weapon
Knowing now what we know

Ch
Let’s take one last shot at redemption
One more chance to fly
Let's take one last shot at redemption
If you’re willing, so am I
Denim days, satin nights
We don’t have to say goodbye
One last shot at redemption
One more chance for us to fly
We don't have to say goodbye

Br
I can’t do this without you
No, you have to love me, too
Tell me that you want me
I’ll be there if you do

Ch
Let’s take one last shot at redemption
One more chance to fly
Let's take one last shot at redemption
If you’re willing, so am I
Denim days, satin nights
We don’t have to say goodbye
One last shot at redemption
One more chance for us to fly
We don't have to say goodbye

Out
One last shot at redemption (One more chance to fly)
One last shot at redemption (If you're willing, so am I)
(We could fly...y...y...)
One last shot at redemption (One more chance to fly)
One last shot at redemption (If you're willing, so am I)

Wow, I like this a lot! Great job guys!

This chorus is great (am I seeing a pattern?) It leads back into the verse perfectly, it soars when it needs to soar and it hits when it needs to hit, with that last line (in both places.)

I can imagine this playing at the end of a ROMCOM where the two people realize they still love each other. Beautiful piano and vocals. The melodies are quite catchy. This chorus will be running through my head all day. Wonderful collab!

Maybe a more-modern Carole King sound in this one, nice collab. Solid lyrics with a great melody and performance.

One of those songs that makes you so grateful for FAWM. I love the nod to King in the piano riff. The melody is awesome as are the vocals. Patty's lyrics are always top notch and you've done an amazing job with them!

Gotta love the message here. Great lyrics and music. Very impressive vocals too. Some of those notes you hit...awesome!

Fantastic lyrically, musically and vocally...the hook on the title really gets inside the head and the whole song and production deserve ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
P.S. Patty, our other collab will be dropping in the next few days, in case you were wondering...👍

Great tune! Nice collaboration! I hear some eye of the tiger guitars in there! But then I hear guitars in EVERYTHING! hahaha! Lovely vocal and piano! Patty killed on the lyrics here too! Nice job all the way around!
