Day 28: The Silent Song You Sing


Lyrics:
When darkness comes along
I feel it in my bones
The way you move your wings
Can't help but think about
Your hidden things
Your layered rings
I listen for the silent song you sing

When twilight meets my eyes
I slip between the lines
The madness that you bring
Can't help but think about
Your harmonies
Your wicked breeze
I listen for the silent song you sing

And I want you
And I crave your touch
Appease me
Or release me
Never have I ever felt so much
So much

I lose you in the mist
Of a transitory kiss
I feel you pull my string
Can't help but think about
Your mystery
You're teasing me
I listen for the silent song you sing

Details: Believe it or not, this was supposed to be a funk song, but my struggle to play funky guitar is real! I started with the bass line and just couldn't figure out how to add the off-beats to make it sound funky. But I was getting this really eerie thing going, so I decided to go with that and turned it into a song about obsession.

It took just shy of 4 hours to write and about 45 minutes to record.
