Another collab with Jim Chapman. This one started with a verse/chorus melody, and I walked around with it for a few days before the song hit me

Artist picture
Internationally recognized, prize-winning lyricist well-versed in cabaret, indie, folk, country, showtunes and several other genres.
I am the Grand Prize Winner of the 2007 International Songwriting Competition for my collaboration with Eduard Glumov, "I'm Not Your Friend." We also won First Prize in the Rock/Alt Division of the Great American Song Contest. One judge called it a prime example of "world-class songwriting" and said the images in the were "often stunning." I'm a lyricist and have been collaborating with musicians from California to Kazakhstan, over the Internet. The fruits of that collaboration are found here, and at . While the winning song was a hot funk-rock song, with a compact streamlined lyric, I write in several styles. I've chosen "indie" as my genre, but I write anything from cabaret to country, and am looking to work with musicians and composers of all stripes. Currently I'm finding writing partners here in my home town of Philadelphia.

Story behind the song
My first attempt at writing words when the music was already done (at least the verse and chorus were)
Lyrics
(v1) Waking up before the dawn and wandering in the gloom Hypnotized by alcohol and traces of perfume Finding an apology scrawled somewhere near the phone Leaving nothing more to say Knowing something slipped away Knowing someone slipped away (v2) Memories of a thousand beds, apartments and motels Hasty exits, whispered lies and insincere farewells Chasing after freedom, always winding up alone Smiling up until today Knowing something slipped away (bridge) Did she have a name Lost in the heat and confusion? Was she a sort of conclusion? Or was she really here and did something actual Something possible Disappear? (v3) Faces on the subway left in shadows by the sun Faces wait round every corner, strangers every one One is half-remembered, lost to whereabouts unknown Looking, getting led astray Knowing something slipped away Knowing someone slipped away
