This took some effort. I invested quite a lot in this one, emotionally and in the production. It is a song written on Valentines day and is about Love, the kind of Love where flesh meets flesh and you give up a piece of yourself in the uncontrolled meeting, duality.
I LOVE Dave Matthews and Adrianne Lenkers songwriting and expression. The simplicity in writing chords yet giving them that little extra unique touch that makes me listen a little harder, getting my full attention.
I wanted to write a song with just one chord progression and giving it some different nuances and of course with a little break. I also wanted to get the vulnerability in the vocals as my heroes manage to do frequently.
I tried.
-Lovers do and lovers choose
I am one with you I’m done
-Lovers do as lovers loose
All my kisses sent to you
-Why I tear mine open wide
I will never look away
-See mine colors in your eyes
Colors of the brighter skies
-All my colors in your eyes
Eyes are hidden from the world
-Lovers choose as lovers do
I am you with you I’m done
I am you with you undone
I am you with you I’m one
I am you we come undone
-If we tend to listen
-If we try real hard
-Tell me all about the
-Sell me all about our truth
-Lovers do as lovers choose
You will be the one for me
-Lovers loose as lovers do
You will burn me set me free
You will be the one for me

Very nice! Guitar and vocals sound great. Nice job with the wide-ranging melody over the chord progression.
