About the song
This song is about creation and inspiration. It's totally sequenced in Reason with lots of percussion, fretless bass, guitars, piano, violins and cellos. There are 8 backing vocals and a single lead vocal. It's taken me 27 months to write and record 50 songs to a standard that I'm sort of happy to share. It's a landmark I suppose; think I'll put the kettle on in celebration. Fancy a cuppa....?
Lyrics
Verse1
You make me create:
My heart's a guitar
That you play in your own way.
But the notes escape
Like smoke through a net;
I forget
All but the beauty.
Still I try to write you,
Every line is about you -
The good and the bad,
The love and the pain I've had.
Chorus
It would be a crime
To ever split the infinity
That beckons you and me.
Till the end of time
People will hear and see
What you did and meant to me
This song will last for ever
In my mind...
Verse 2
You make me create:
My life is a canvas
To paint in your own way
A rainbow without end,
Impressions like clouds;
Don't know how
To interpret what I see
In every shadow I spy you
Every brush stroke is by you
The good and the bad
The love and the pain I've had
Chorus
It would be a crime
To ever split the infinity
That beckons you and me.
Till the end of time
People will hear and see
What you did and meant to me;
This song will last for ever...
Middle 8
Write a story for me
Fill it full of laughter
And happy ever afters
I could learn my lines when I awake
Live my life the way you make it
Chorus
It would be a crime
To ever split the infinity
That beckons you and me.
Till the end of time
People will hear and see
What you did and meant to me;
This song will last for ever
Last forever
This song will last forever
In my mind...
You make me create:
My heart's a guitar
That you play in your own way.
But the notes escape
Like smoke through a net;
I forget
All but the beauty.
Still I try to write you,
Every line is about you -
The good and the bad,
The love and the pain I've had.
Chorus
It would be a crime
To ever split the infinity
That beckons you and me.
Till the end of time
People will hear and see
What you did and meant to me
This song will last for ever
In my mind...
