So far this is the pre-production and lyrics to one of the first songs to go under the knife for the next album. This was done on REASON 5. I may do a demo version of it in Record. I will see what my advisors Donyea, Vitamin D, and Bubba Jones have to say about it. I’m excited to get more songs going. I have lots of music and am putting in the lyrics.
The main chord progression and REASON C-11 and Dbmaj9 is about 3-5 years old. The bridge is brand new: Gbmaj7|Emaj7|Eb-11|G7(alt)|Gbmaj7|Emaj7|Dmaj9|Dbmaj9 | It is a cool juxtaposition for a song with basically two chords in it to a bridge that has 6 different changes. I think I pulled off being busy without sound busy or crowded.
In a nutshell this song is about putting the past behind you through communication and declaring it behind you. It is a simple yet all too often left undone thing to do.
Here is the working version of the lyrics. Please make note of what actually makes it on the released recording. The lyrics and hell lots of things could change. I am looking to share the actual process. I’ve never shared the process before so I will be creating the best way to do that.
Hook:
Why Can’t We Say All The Things that we’re wanting to say
Holding on to secrets keep us stuck in yesterday
Come on let’s do all the things that we’re wanting to do
Let it go so we can feel the real me and you.
Verse:
I’m next to you but alone.
Our ship has set sail and has gone. (And I’m feeling emptiness I’ve never known)
We swim nowhere in a sea
Of unsaid, feelings we don’t want to show….
Hook:
Why Can’t We Say All The Things that we’re wanting to say
Holding on to secrets keep us stuck in yesterday
Come on let’s do all the things that we’re wanting to do
Just let it go so we can feel the real me and you.
Verse:
We are right where we should be
Strange it seems like we don’t know
How to find our space and breath
Relax and just let it flow….
Hook:
Why Can’t We Say All The Things that we’re wanting to say
Holding on to secrets keep us stuck in yesterday
Come on let’s do all the things that we’re wanting to do
Just let it go so we can feel the real me and you.
Why Can’t We Say All The Things that we’re wanting to say
And let go of all our secrets and of yesterday..
Come on let’s lose all the things we’ve been scared to lose
And let them show the real feelings between me and you.
Bridge:
Let us leave from where we’ve gone
Let us breathe and move on
Let us free, what was a bond (Get us free from what was once a bond)
Love’s elusive, it does what it wants…
Hook:
So we’ll say all the things that we’ve wanted/we’re wanting to say
Letting go of all our secrets and of yesterday
Go on and do all the things that we’re wanting to do
And let them show the real feelings between me and you.
Why Can’t We Say All The Things that we’re wanting to say
And let go of all our secrets and of yesterday..
Come on let’s lose all the things we’ve been scared to lose
And let them show the real feelings between me and you.
