a strange blend of Broadway show-tune and ZZ Top
I'm a former member of several bands across the country, have been writing songs for 30 years and making home-grown productions for about 25 years. I have been dabbling with a more diverse songwriting style and I am always looking to add something interesting to this Soundclick page. I am a lover of music (but not all music) and will not be boxed into one certain style. I hope you like this as much as I do because my soul is bleeding all over this page....rock on......
Story behind the song
I wrote it because I was really bored and I had a lot of stuff to play with and record so I just wasted a lot of time playing and recording because it helps me get my mind off of chopping down trees for a while. Recorded on a four-track back about 198? and somewhat "revived" by the miracle of digital technology and Cakewalk Music Creator version 1.0.0.0.0
Lyrics
The Curse Of Love
By Kevin S. Dunn
Every time you look at me I feel the lightning running up my back
Every time that we make love I think I’m gonna have a heart attack
I can’t even start to explain to myself all the crazy things that are happening to me
I don’t think they make a cure for what I got, and there’s only one thing that it could be
That’s the curse, the curse of love
Yes it’s the curse, the curse of love
Sometimes I got you all figured out but sometimes you make me wonder
Sometimes when you open your mouth the only thing that I hear is thunder
The only way we can keep it alive is to every now and then you gotta have some rain
But it just don’t seem like an even trade, a little bit of pleasure for a whole lot of pain
That’s the curse, the curse of love
Yes it’s the curse, the curse of love
Every now and then I get a step ahead but you drag me two steps back
Well I’m on your leash but it's getting weak but I know you won’t give me no slack
Well I used to think it was a two way street but now I know that it’s a little more
The only time I get an even break is when I get you alone and I close the door
On the curse, the curse of love, yea
The curse, on the curse of love
Sometimes I catch you slip and I steal back a little bit of my pride
Sometimes you let your gates open wide and I get a real good look inside
I can’t even start to talk about all the beautiful things I see
‘cause the gates slam shut and I’m still outside, there’s only one thing between you and me
It’s the curse, the curse of love, yea
The curse, the curse of love
It’s the curse, the curse of love
It’s the curse, the curse of love
