| | I was kind of (really) congested so this recording features a pleasant nasal quality. Which kind of fits what the song is about. Maybe. Built backwards from a couple lines in the middle of the chorus. A bit of a departure.
Thanks to Joydita S. for cello interlude and effects.

Something More
(Click to listen/download)
They say I have too much emotion
Ever since I tempo-rubato'd the Bach
But why my heart took a più mosso notion, when I met you
Why my cowlick fell over in shock
My still-a-child brain didn't know
What my heart started shouting in fortissimo
(CHORUS)
Maybe you'll shoot me a glance
That I'll imagine or not
And if not then I'll try and make sure
That's when I'll jump at the chance
To show you that I like you a lot
Or maybe I'll say - something more
I rejoiced when you answered smiling
Yes, you were free tomorrow at five
Then for the next several weeks we were Jane Austen-styling
We were acting out love stories, live
At the same time my voice wasn't where
My feelings were dancing ten feet in the air
And all at once we heard the clock strike
A quarter till our final goodbye
What I felt then was urgent or chilling or even like
The cuckoo had a glint in his eyes
I think that was when I understood
What it takes for forever, even knocking on wood
(...or take the fact I'm alive as my cue...) |
