"Sad remnants of almost love long lost time and a word resurected." This take has slightly better vocals and arrangements I think. Still missing vocal parts in the end. Looking for singers, players, as usual. See take 1 for some more info.
Story behind the song
"Woke up in the middle of the night / This song in my head"
Lyrics
RESURECTED
Words and music by Marius Raphaelius
To S.S.
Once I was happy
This girl, she was everything to me
She was just beautiful
And I took her for granted
Mistook passion for a binding thing.
Went off with the band
On this incredibly absorbing longer than expected jamming trip
Phone dead for days on end
When I finally got back
someone had taken my seat!
Felt dead for days.
Didn't sleep.
Hardly ate.
Barely breathed.
Decided to stay away.
But still all I did was dream of the day our love would be resurected.
* * *
Years, decades later
Woke up in the middle of the night
This song in my head
Too tired to get up and write
Just analysed the harmony
And that took me right back to sleep.
In the morning
Rat race restarted
Driving to work
Thinking of work
The road and the present unreeling in the front
But these strange sights and sounds still lingering in the back of my mind
L i k e d i s t a n t e c h o e s o f t h e p a s t
Sad remnants of almost love long lost time and a word resurected.
Once I was happy
This girl, she was everything to me
She was so beautiful...
I went off with the band
When I got back
someone had taken...
Felt dead for days...
Decided to stay away.
But still all i did was dream...
Just because we were twenty four!
Years, decades later
Woke up in the middle of the night
This song in my head.
In the morning
Rat race restarted...
But this voice
This face
This chord progression
This wanting
This love
This melodic obsession...
Just how much more screwed up can your creative process get!
