This is what I did on my first afternoon off during FAWM. I worked over 40 hours in 4 days, got a blister on my foot, and felt like my legs have been yelling at me for standing too much. That being said, I am incredibly happy to have a 3-day weekend, and I spent the start of it making a fun love song for my girlfriend.
It was a rainy night in July
When we met for the very first time
We talked over dinner and we hardly ate
Nerves kicked in but we still stayed late
We met again at a park downtown
And discussed life as we walked around
We got free ice cream on your turn to pay
So you said you’d cover it on the next date
I asked if I could be the one
Who could make you smile every day
When you said yes I felt complete
And my love for you grows all the time
We do nerd stuff like Borderlands
And make our own homemade crunch wraps
Honestly you have the sweetest dog
And I love you both so much
Hey hey
I feel like I’ve known you my whole life
How can that be when we met in July
Time truly flies
And I want to take a moment to say
You make me a better person
I was impulsive and wasted money
And I was afraid to drive
You got me back on the right track
And I never want to go back
I don’t know how else to say
You make me happy every day
It was a rainy night in July
When we met for the very first time
We talked over dinner and we hardly ate
Nerves kicked in but we still stayed late

So sweet! I love the "So you said you’d cover it on the next date", it's always nice to know there's going to be a second date. Really beautiful!

I like the vocal melody on the "I feel like I've known you my whole life" line.
When you hit the cymbals on every count starting at 2:09ish, that pairs so nicely with your dreamy guitar style.
I'm gonna steal a phrase from seanbrennan below and say that this does put me in the shoegazey space.
I like that you put in the line about them having the sweetest dog, it adds to the sincerity for some reason lol Heartfelt lyrics here.
Its cool to see you going on this vocal journey.

This is so cool, all the lovely guitar effects, I also like the odd timing with the delay. „I don’t know how else to say you make me happy every day“ is such a beautiful line.

My brain got a tad lost in the layers of delayed guitar and drums at times, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. I like the tenderness of wanting to be the one who makes her smile everyday and then the return to the idea at the end where you receive it in return.

Really cool. The guitars are great as I've come to expect. Love those lyrics. Especially the first/last verse.
@seanbrennan Feb 2022
Love the big, shoegazey swell toward the end, and I'm glad you are finding comfort and authority in your voice! The steadiness of the harmonic progression, paired with the constant building, really works to convey love - intense, building, never wavering. I think she'll love the song coming straight from you like this. :-)

Ooh...I love the video, so I can see what you're doing while you're making those lovely sounds with the guitar. I like how it all swirls around, the guitar, the melody, etc. And a very sweet sentiment, too
