This tune is the result of two weeks work, mainly cuz of all the overdubs I ended up doing.
I started out with acoustic guitar, electric and bass.
For percussion I used a scraper, a shaker and a couple of stones I found on a beach that I thought would sound good.
Later came the overdubs I didn't film, more guitar and flute, clavi and piano sounds from a keyboard.

Here are the lyrics;
I met you by the shore, you came in on a giant wave of thunder,
Youre a ripple and a whirl and a drop and a curve round the corner.

Whats that youre saying? Whats that youre saying?

I watch you undress and slip into the shower where you stand soaking.
Ive seen you dancing naked in your room, I know your perfume,

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?

Sometimes I think Im dreaming and I lose all sense of time.
Sometimes I think youre taking all my reason and my rhyme.

Your laughter is the perfect soundtrack to a picnic by the river,
And if the snakes in the long grass are slowly closing in well I dont see them.

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?

So if I give you this song, will you sing it back to me?
Though you say that youre no singer, you can be whatever you want to be.

Everythings just a game, I love the sound of your name, its like thunder,
More green I couldnt be, you love me faithfully yeah when it suits you.

Whats that youre saying? Are you leaving or staying?
My sides are fraying, its me whos paying.

  • it sucks a lot

  • it sucks

  • You are honestly a great vocalist, and I think your voice sounds best on your originals, which tells me that you feel what you write, and it comes to you very organically -- though, obviously with a great amount of hard work.

  • I can see me spending all evening checking your stuff out...this is another great original...;0)
