Stay With Me (Original Song and Video)

This is a song I wrote in 2007, a year after breaking up with someone, thinking about the mistakes I made and trying to distill what I'd learned from the experience. For this video, I tried out a new technique: all the drawings were done with a Wacom Graphire 4x5 tablet in Procreate Painter Classic; I then animated the drawings in Powerpoint.

Lyrics:
Stay With Me

Well I was thinking of the day I met you
You came down like queen from the hill
And I was wondering how I'm gonna get you
You could say I'm wondering still

So - stay with me
And - be my love
'Cause - you're the only dream I'm dreaming of I'm dreaming of I'm dreaming of...

So - shine with me
Like the - stars above
And we can turn this lonely sea into an ocean of love an ocean of love an ocean of love...

And when I saw you staring out the window
A cloudy face under Seattle skies
I felt the storm blowing there inside you
Like a perfect reflection of mine

So - weep with me
And then when - we've had enough
We'll dry your lovely cheeks to shine a a mirror of love a mirror of love a mirror of love...

And - shine with me
Like the sun, that hides above
We'll take the dark and deep and help it rise above to rise above to rise above...

Like olive trees off the coast of Spain
The smell of lilacs mixed in with the rain
A breath of sun on a cloudy day
Well it all reminds me of you

Like a picture perfect mountain range
Like humpty dumpty put back togetehr again, yeah
A sudden silence that's never strange
Well that's all the reasons I fell in love with you..... with you.... with you....
