Story behind the song
Ok I had my own room in the barracks, but was friends with everyone. My door was never locked. So one warm summer morning I awoke in my barracks while my lead guitarist was working on cakewalk and Joey setting up the drums. I don't know who let themselves in first, but Noah was making breakfast in the skillet on my bathroom sink. I usually cooked for my neighbors, as we hated the chow hall.
It could have been Dan on Cakewalk, Joey setting up the drums, or my kick-ass G/F going under the sheets, to show off the fact that she wasn't shy, and that I had the best girl, but suddenly a song hit me. I had to end the morning bj and run half naked for a pen and pad.
I wrote the song down so fast the first time, I had to re-write it a second just so I could read it. I actually started to read that one, and realized I was still writing it to fast and re-wrote it a 3rd time. Some songs take days, months or even years to come together. This one took 1 minute.
I put together a chord progression, and a generic "this is the tone" cakewalk tune for it, but it was intended to be played by us.
Sadly, I am the only one to return from Iraq. I have never heard our last song played. It is a song based on Irony, and is to be sang so slowly, it is almost spoken in a soft tone. Only the chorus is actually sung.
I have the words below. I want to know if anyone has a band, and will complete this piece for me, in memory of my best friends, and so that I may hear it played at least just once. I do have music for it, but the music is merely the guidelines. The words however, are not to be changed, not abbreviated, or altered in any way.
Lyrics
I knew few would morn, as I watched from above –
for I had no family, no one to love.
But then I saw a light, far from above –
through misty clouds, of forgotten love.
O' how could I have missed such a precious thing.
O' how could I have forgotten such a blessed feeling.
O' how could I have ruined such a perfect dream.
It must have been, these ageless clouds –
whispering the mistakes, of others O' so proud.
Stretching beyond, these endless seas –
This mist in my eyes, is blinding and trapping me.
Falling like a raindrop, from the sky –
my teardrop lands, as she cries.
Gently upon, her window seal…
Pain and regret I feel…
and yet she'll never know,
[Begin Chorus]
why I had to go.
She'll never know.
She'll never know.
She'll never know how my love for her will always grow.
She'll never know.
[End Chorus]
Her tears just add, to this sky above.
My mind's soaring madly, through the mysteries of love.
Wondering sadly, why the rays that lead me here –
tore a hole, for me to see her there.
This new pain, I cannot bare –
it reminds me of that, which brought me here.
Then I notice others, with a common stare –
faces are echoing, a painful glare.
Silence screams out, their heart's endless tear.
O' how could this be?
How could so many, have made the same mistake as me?
O' how could they've all been, to blind to see –
the ones who loved them, as she loves me?
It must have been, these unblessed clouds –
damned by those, so un-proud…
and yet she'll never know,
[Begin Chorus]
why I had to go.
She'll never know.
She'll never know.
She'll never know how my love for her will always grow.
She'll never know.
[End Chorus]
As I take my place, by their sides –
in this mist, among these ageless skies.
Her beauty remains frozen, in my eyes.
Not even in death, is there peace for me –
scorning always, what separate her from me.
This mist, that is still blinding me.
