I Made You Something

Liner Notes
A song about stealing your friends' best lines for your art.
Lyrics
I wrote a song while we were on the phone You said so much, so I was taking notes I stole your words and tried make them rhyme. I drifted off but I stayed on the line
I tried to write down the words, so I wouldn’t forget. And I closed my eyes and daydreamed again. Half of me is with you, half is somewhere else. I drift away, I can’t help myself.
You said my name and I came back too late. My thoughts were deep into something I can’t name. You opened up and I kept drifting on. The bridge is where it changes, but I couldn't bring you along
I tried to write down the words, so I wouldn’t forget. And I closed my eyes and I fell through again. Some of me is with you, mostly somewhere else. I don't know where I go, I can't help myself.
Somewhere in the water, somewhere in the steam. The space between awake, and the edges of a dream. Here inside the hum of your voice and mine. The space between the notes, the weight of borrowed time.
I made it back and you knew I was gone. And somehow, graciously, you still held on. Now some of me is with you, more than before. okay, I'm here now, sorry, I’m listening. I'm all yours
Comments
Well singed! Lovely setting. Really some good stuff here. Very evocative, connective, honest, it's pretty without being smarmy. I like it. Real nice work
this somehow already seems like a classic? wow. it feels like i'm on the phone with you all
This is a lovely melody and an experience I'm sure a lot of us here can relate to
I'm so here for this, it feels like a midwest emo lullaby. Well done, my dude!
There’s some theater kid energy here that I’m not mad about. But f’real - you can pack the words in with the best of em and it just feels correct. Real purdy.
excellent vocals and presentation
great stuff man
Wow. Such light and delicate thievery.
Nice singing. It provides a very immediate perspective.
Such a clear and effective approach, great voice and melody. Love the concept!
I know you said you were focusing on production, so I'll say that that vocal sounds so good, dude!
