Gentle Things

Liner Notes

This morning I was reading some wonderful poetry. It was so beautiful and gentle, it made my heart happy. It made me think of gentle things, so I started writing my own lyrical poetry, layered some gentle sounds, and hopefully created a gentle melody and sing it in a way that matches. Oh, how we do need more gentle things!

Songwise, I find it kinda fun when I create a song without any chords involved, just a bunch of layered accent notes. I could go back and add a keyboard layer and a chord progression. But it’s time to move on, lol.

Lyrics

Flowers in the field
Gentle things
You make my heart happy
And my eyes sing
I love you and thank you
For all you bring
Gentle things
Oh gentle things

Birds in the air
Gentle things
You make my heart soar
When you take to wing
I love you and thank you
For all you bring
Gentle things
Oh gentle things

Gentle things
Oh gentle things
We need more gentle things
Take my hand
Walk with me
Gentle thing
My gentle thing

I love you and thank you
For all you bring
Gentle thing
Sweet gentle thing

Jeff, I'd say you fully succeeded with meeting your intentions here. The lyrics mesh with the accented note melody most beautifully. Thanks for the gentle reminder about gentleness.
