Feb 2022 girl-with-piano singer-songwriter collab love-song
When I saw these wonderful lyrics I thought I should have written this song, because it totally describes my husband. Thank you Patty for writing this very special song and for letting me take a shot at it!
From Patty: @sheslin's music and vocal wrapped me up in a cloud of warm and happy! I love the piano (Thank you, Susan!), the heartfelt delivery and the dreamy mood. I'm glad she picked this one up.
V1
My man’s not a talkative fellow
He thinks sentiment’s for the birds
He’s good at expressing his feelings
He just doesn’t put them in words
V2
I’ll never try to change him
I knew the way he was
He doesn’t have to say a thing
I can tell by what he does
Chorus
When he washes my car, that’s I love you
When he brings me my tea, you’re the best
That smile means you’re beautiful
His devotion says the rest
I don’t need the nouns and the verbs
I can read my man of few words
V3
When I think of the way he treats me
You’ll never hear me complain
I’d rather have my man of action
Than a man who (just) talks a good game
Chorus
When he washes my car, that’s I love you
When he brings me my tea, you’re the best
That smile means you’re beautiful
His devotion says the rest
I don’t need the nouns and the verbs
I can read my man of few words
Bridge:
He’s not great with pencil and paper
Or words that sound sweet in my ear
But he knows how to get my attention
And make his affection clear
Chorus
When he washes my car, that’s I love you
When he brings me my tea, you’re the best
That smile means you’re beautiful
His devotion says the rest
I don’t need the nouns and the verbs
I can read my man of few words

Such a wonderful magical "real" lyric that is done such justice in this gentle reflective treatment. great collab.
Another slow down and pay attention magic trick song that @sheslin seems to have mastered so well. Much enjoyed.

This is absolutely beautifully done! Great collaboration!

Beautiful. I love the simplicity of the piano and vocal melody. Very intimate.
@jerrypettit Feb 2022
Really a nice "valentine's song". I think this might be the first time I've heard your vocal, @sheslin , and I'm very impressed.
@greengrassgirl knows I'm a fan of her lyrics, so I'm glad the two of you "found" each other to do this one.
Great collaboration!

This is really touching, I love the sentiment, a really nice reminder that there are a lot of ways to say ‘I love you’ especially when people aren’t great at putting it into words. Lovely delivery, the vocals are very sincere and heartfelt, the piano is super warm and comforting. I love that chorus as well, a really sweet idea putting those actions into translations. Amazing collab both!
@paulharrison Feb 2022
Great collaboration...and how timely! A well-described example of the different ways people show love AND the wisdom of appreciating the love they receive however it's expressed.
@mikeb Feb 2022
A tender treatment of Patty's well-crafted lyrics! The piano accompaniment fits the mood and feel so well. Nice collab!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Yes its words n music, they fit very well hear! I like the pace Susan, not rushed. And a piano oooo!
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice collab, and a wonderful valentine.
@oswlek Feb 2022
Nice one! Patty's lyric is chock full of passion and affection, and Susan delivers the lines with as much sincerity as if she wrote them herself. Some lovely piano to boot! Well done all around!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
What a beautiful love song! Actions that show love are so much more meaningful than any words can convey. This piano ballad is absolutely gorgeous! Love your vocals!
@bjunker Feb 2022
Really nice setting for some really heartfelt lyrics. Great job both of you!
