FAWM: "Secrets"

Secrets

2025 by @randomparade

Liner Notes

You know when you are close to someone, close enough to have secrets, and know their secrets, and they know your secrets and then you aren't that close anymore, and you have these secrets that you're not sure what to do with or what they might do with yours??? This song is sort of about that previous run on sentence.

Lyrics

I’ll keep your secrets safe I’ll keep your secrets close There is no other way, But you already know

I’ll keep your secrets safe I’ll keep your secrets close cause we’ve got nowhere left to go

I’m ruminating over all this mess still floundering about what’s coming next
these secrets searching for a place to land give in to trust, but no one is close at hand

I’ll keep your secrets safe but now I have to go I’ll stuff them with my the other baggage I have in tow

I’m contemplating how to keep you safe my secrets written in the lines on my face our secrets hide away and burn inside snowballing avalanche from one white lie

I’m ruminating over all this mess still floundering about what’s coming next
these secrets searching for a place to land give in to trust, but no one is close at hand

Really enjoying those jangly guitars and the staccato riffing and the way they lock in to the tambourine / snare percussion. The unexpected pairing of "ruminating / contemplating" was great fun. Nicely done.

I dunno, I think your songs deserve a bit more love here! This is a cool song. Secrets are such an interesting thing like.. oooh that's a hard one to keep or ah damn I didn't wanna know that. lol Anyway, I think this is a great song, well recorded with nice imagery.

This chromatic stepping makes this magic, "secret" feeling very clearly. Liked the mood. And yeah, I'm familiar with the situation when you are not with someone anymore but know too much about each other. Great song idea!
