about
Custom song for another couple from Ireland.
Mood: Reflective
Tempo: Slow
Occassion: Just Because
The way the gentleman who commissioned this song expressed himself about his wife was very poetic and packed with emotion. Channeling my feelings for my own wife I think "I got you man", let's let her know. It such an honor to get to express real feelings for real people.
Musical jargon alert: I've been enjoying the interplay between the leading tone and the flat 7. There is a sweetness and a longing in the leading tone and a power and even surrender in the flat 7. Some other sounds that wanted to be present to express these emotions are the famous "minor 4 chord," and the "Neopolitan Chord" (a major chord created by lowering the 2nd degree of the scale).
Things didn’t go so
Well on our first meeting
You got sick you had to go
But we spoke on the phone
Maybe we wouldn’t have had such a
Deep conversation because I would have
Been distracted by your beautiful eyes
Drowning in deep dark
Pools of your eyes
Drew me in, no escape
But why would I want to
12 years later I’m glad this sailor
Chose your siren’s song to lead him home
I was lost in the chaos of the ocean
But didn’t know it until I found you
You gave me a road to walk on and it didn’t
Take long to know I want to walk with you
Your sass and passion, your curves and caring
Your speckled freckles, your eyes so daring
My heart sings for you
Your laugh, your sighs, your hair, your eyes
Our house, a home is wonderful because all you do
I (I don’t wanna know) where (I don’t wanna know)
Where would I be without you
I (I don’t wanna know) who (I don’t wanna know)
Who would I be without you
You (transformed my life you see) better
(I see a better me) you better know how much I love you
Choose (So glad I chose you then)
You (choose you again and again)
I wouldn’t change a thing, I praise the
Joy you bring, you make my heart sing
You’re stubborn enough to
Put up with my stuff
And you laugh at my stupid jokes
You’re a treasure to me
In 3 months time asked you to be mine
And we married the day
Before your favorite, Halloween
Raising our children, growing, and building
There is no ceiling, to this
Feeling of love for you
Through trials and weakness, loss and changes
You’re my rock if I could I’d give the world to you
I (I don’t wanna know) where (I don’t wanna know)
Where would I be without you
I (I don’t wanna know) who (I don’t wanna know)
Who would I be without you
You (transformed my life you see) better
(I see a better me) you better know how much I love you
Choose (So glad I chose you then)
You (choose you again and again)
I wouldn’t change a thing, I praise the
Joy you bring, you make my heart sing
