In a rare moment a melody I voice memo'd while driving ended up coming to fruition.
The chorus melody is a highlight for me.
The verses might meander around the 'I don't know what to write' trope a little too much.
Heidi says it could be for the better
That I will find a new part of myself
If we’re not together I get myself together
I know… That’s not likely
But anyway I guess I’ll Try, at least helps me pass the time
greeting s one and all, whoever hears this whoever hears this
If I could find my voice today
I know it wouldn’t make you stay
But at least I’d know just who it was you left
When you went away
It’s too dark to talk about the weather
And whether there’s a chance for any rain
I know it could be better but seems to take forever
To say the words… I’m not finding
Anyways it’s too late now to find something to talk about
Other than the noise whoever hears this whoever hears this
If I could find my voice today
I know it wouldn’t make you stay
But at least I’d know just who it was you left
When you went away
I can’t find the words to say
I don’t know what chords to play
But I need toI know just who it was you left
When you went away
Well I guess that you might hear this someday
Just know that this was never meant for you
If by chance the word gets out and I’m someone to talk about
I know… That’s not likely
But anyway its all of me deciding who I’d like to be
and who I ever was Whoever hears it who hears it
If I could find my voice today
I know it wouldn’t make you stay
But at least I’d know just who it was you left
When you went away
I can’t find the words to say
I don’t know what chords to play
But I need toI know just who it was you left
When you went away
I didn’t write this song for you
I wrote it cause I needed to
I need to know just who it was you left
When you went away

"But I need to know just who it was you left, when you went away" - what a great lyric. I really love this song. The melody is simple yet complex, which is what I think I like about your music so far. It is so easy to listen to but there is a lot going on if you take a closer look. It is kind of a perfect way to write because you engage the casual listener, but you also hook the listener who is looking for something deeper. Your vocals pull me into your songs, there is an authenticity and also a compelling need to be listened to, in the very best way.
