Just Saying

Liner Notes

#folk #acousticonetake #lovesong

Gosh I am so far behind. This is a one take acoustic diddy I made up today. I messed up a lyric when singing and missed a word, oh well.

Lyrics

Your eyes are sparkling gems It’s the first thing that I noticed Wish I could see you again I think that we could be friends

Your face is soft like a cloud Your lips are from a dream Nobody wake me up Until I’ve seen everything

Darling I know you fear the end is near The train stops many places but it doesn’t stay here

They say life has meaning When there’s someone to bear witness So I’m here, so you know, just saying

I’m feeling like a fool You’re so much better in life Orchids won’t bloom much Until you give them more light

You’re a crystal angel Translucent white Uncanny ability to stop time

Cool tune! Love that chorus with the doubled vocal, feels like something from The Shins.

I love a good acoustic one-take! This is a great! I love "Nobody wake me up / Until I’ve seen everything."

Your easy, earnest voice pairs great with the big open chords, and both perfectly suit the style. Those doubled vocals are super effective too!

Love your voice and friendly open approach to playing guitar. Like the metaphor of train stopping many places.

This is really great guitar work for a one-take, damn! I really like the vocal delivery too, really conveys that daydreamy feeling when you're in the early stages of love-sickness. As others have said, also love the double vocals in the chorus, really adds a lot. Great work!

"Darling I know you fear the end is near / The train stops many places but it doesn’t stay here" is quite nice. In daily life I find "just saying" irksome, but it works really well here and doesn't irk me a bit. Solid song all around.

really like those chorus "darlings"... the harmony/doubled vocals pump up the chorus just right. I'm not normally a lyrics guy, but something about the words really speaks to me

"They say life has meaning When there’s someone to bear witness" - Oooh, I love this, it's so true!
