FAWM: "Without You"

Without You

2025 by @kdogg

Liner Notes

Very tired. Must sleep now. SO CLOSE! I just couldn't get my voice to work on this so perhaps in la mañana. I think this is about my dog. I miss him terribly.

I think this would make a lovely lullaby.

Lyrics

I study the ceiling With its eyes disarrayed The moon shines through the window So I politely wave

I close my eyes And listen to the quiet night I try not to think too much Drifting off, giving up the fight

Dreams come fast All silvery and blue And suddenly I’m swimming across the sky with you

The dream seems so real So real and so true I’m sure I’m smiling in my sleep While I’m dreaming about you

And when I wake up In the morning light I wish with all my heart That it could always be night

Dreams come fast All silvery and blue And suddenly I’m swimming across the sky with you

I study the ceiling With its eyes disarrayed I take a deep breath And face another day Without you

Lovely song. “Dreams come fast/All silvery and blue” is a great image.

This is a really beautiful and touching song. I think you're voice sounds great on this - the first chorus is wonderfully delivered, and the octave shift on "blue" and "you" works really well.

I get a real bittersweet sentiment from this one, from the warming line "I’m sure I’m smiling in my sleep, While I’m dreaming about you" which sets a great imagery to the last line that leaves that longing heart hanging for the listener. Great stuff!
