For just another day

Liner Notes

#melancholy #break-up #one-take Well, it's a song, though not the happiest. There's a bit of a buzz from the sound card, but these things happen...

Lyrics

I didn't see it coming, I guess i should have All the signs were there, clothes upon the chair Longing glances through the broken window, Passing strangers in the street below She was always looking for answers And I just had more questions

It was great right right from the start What we didn't have we didn't know how to miss But as time went by, nothing seemed to change Those opportunities fell through, like it had been arranged I didn't realise how it affected you You just sat and stared Falling further down, defined by your despair And still I carried on, things will look up soon dear It never happened though, and I’m still right here Swimming in the darkness, land just out of sight Another pointless day, no respite in sight But we still have each other At least we have for now Tell me that you’ll stay For just another day

I also like the sound card buzz; adds a bit of an authenticity to the song--feels raw, reinforcing the charm of the single take. I also loved your vocal melody. It constantly took me in directions I wasn't expecting. Lovely singing voice as well, it pairs well with your guitar work. Well done!

Buzzy sound cards will be a retro-aesthetic one day, like tape or vinyl. You’re just ahead of the curve. Nice guitarring I love a sad song. Makes me wanna just lie on the floor.
