Understanding

Liner Notes

Finally got around to singing this uplifting song. Between writing on piano and singing along, I recorded a piano melody on the placeholder DAW session so I had something. Turns out I changed the melody from the original when doing this and so the lyrics I had didn't fit so well. No worries - I shoe-horned them in and ignored some of the piano guide melody.

There's something in the original recording sketch that I really like and, if I had more time, might try to revisit the first verse to recreate how I played it back then.

Lyrics

< Verse 1> I played but lost I gave it all I got Was it all worth it? Was it all worth it?

The dream has gone We left it for too long What's it all gone for? What do we look for?

I long for understanding For understanding that is just beyond my reach

I long for understanding The understanding that it’s just another dream

My life has crossed Onto a new path Time to embrace the change And find the good again

So when I grieve It’s finally come to leave What does it matter What’s ever mattered

I long for understanding For understanding that is just beyond my reach

I long for understanding The understanding that it’s just another dream

Our lives have changed We’re finding our new forms We’ll fit in somewhere We’ll make it matter And carry on until that time

I long for understanding For understanding that is just beyond my reach

I long for understanding The understanding that it’s just another dream

you long for understanding The understanding that you’re just another dream

I was surprised to see that there was still a zong that didn't get busted. This appears to be the last one although when I looked a few days ago it said there were no more. I guess I long for understanding on how FAWM works 😂 Anyway I really like this. It has a really nice melody and the soft tone of your vocals give a chill vibe. The chorus melody going up at the end was a really nice transition to the verses. Great job with this one!
