Story behind the song
A short but hard dialogue of the mind. Actually written on my birthday, it's an attempt to convey something other than the usual happy or pretty sound of music. Slightly avant-garde, it's an honest look. Sometimes the view isn't what you want or expect to see. Buy the CD!
Lyrics
Look again inside your soul you try once more to see the whole And there’s no one there but for you and me Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to me It seems like time is standing still And when you think maybe it will You realize you’re aging against your will Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to me Well many years ago, you wanted to go far Many years from now, wonder where you are Well it’s because of love, and it’s because of hate It’s just another day, now isn’t that great Look around and what else is new spinning wheels like we always do And there’s no one here but for me and you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to me Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to me
