Heaven Knows

Liner Notes
And anti love song for valentines day
Lyrics
I see your face in the fading light, A memory etched in the quiet night. The world keeps turning But I stand still,
Time slips through my hands Just like grains of sand On distant shorelines Then it’s gone
The loss is really running away from me Blocks the sun so I cannot see Tears in my eyes are blinding me And I can’t find the path
The songs that we sang, The dreams that we made Lie now silent in the life we laid
Now the laughter fades And crying takes it's place In our home now and in our hearts
Heaven knows how I will survive How I stay alive though all this pain

This feels like the end of a day — not going into nightlife like so many pop songs, but just fading away as the sun goes down. I like the tempo change in the bridge that carries the idea of light returning, but then it’s only for a minute.
I like the whole vibe of this song. It's great how you used a physical path as something that the narrator can't see due to his heartbreak. Love the jazzy horns too. Nice job.
Awww …truly an anti valentine song. This is so full of honest feeling angst … I like the counter melody of a plaintive trumpet as well as the harmony vocals. I like the effective percussion and repetition bridge section as a nice change up.
