Liner Notes

This was supposed to be a love song for Phoebe. I guess it still is.

Critique welcome: Especially on the lyrics but everything is fair game.

Lyrics

The horizon swoons at the thought of the night Seductive in her slow paced dance The echoes shatter against the red light As dusk takes its final glance

I stand here resolute Anticipating you

For you are the moon And I am the stone You conquer the gloom As I stand alone You light the way Reveal the unknown For you are the moon And I am the stone

My mind swirls as I'm waiting for you Anxiety overwhelms Worry grows as I'm guarding this tomb But I won't let it break this spell

I stand here slowly consumed Anticipating you

For you are the moon And I am the stone You conquer the gloom As I stand alone You light the way Reveal the unknown For you are the moon And I am the stone

I persevere, I know I must wait Still, I can't help but doubt I don't want to contemplate A bleak sky covered in clouds

For you are the moon And I am the stone You conquer the gloom As I stand alone You light the way Reveal the unknown For you are the moon And I am the stone

For you are the moon

You conquer the gloom

You light the way Reveal the unknown For you are the moon And I am the stone

No notes. This is dope af. Well produced plus you play a jag bass. That’s up there with a pocket bass/matching guitar in my wishlist of gear.

Your vocal delivery is especially good in this one and the guitar sounds so good.

This is a really cool tune. One idea to maybe try is to slow down a bit on the verses, and then speed up and hit the chorus really hard. Rock on!

Acoustic guitar is sounding great on this! Great song all around. I especially like the chromatic chord movement into the bridge and at the end

I think this is great. If I were to edit anything in the lyric I think I'd try to evaluate the "You conquer the gloom As I stand alone" line to see if that's the final one or not (it might very well be!). Really strong stuff TC. ❤️

Beacon already said it but maaaaan that chorus is fantastic (I mean the whole thing is but still)

@beacon 7h

That chorus is a banger! I love how the melody goes up on "You light the way". It's a sort of arena love ballad. This feels great. One of my favorites you've written (and I've heard a lot of them!)
