One Song a Week #5 - "Skin" by Toby Madigan

I'm back with the new song, "Skin", for my One-Song-A-Week show called "Secret Songs" right here on youtube and my website: www.TobyMadigan.com. This show is raw and unedited and these songs are hot off the press. This is how songwriting works, boys and girls (and boygirls and girlboys and two spirits peoples :) I've decided to include the lyrics below:

I can see it in the way you walk
I can smell it on your clothes
In your jeans there is a secret
Locked up where you try to keep it
It's where the fearless people go

Underneath it all, there's an enchanted world
We can reach Valhalla, if you meet me in the dirt

Chorus
Ooh, I wanna touch your skin
I wanna feel your savage waterfall
like rain on my thirsty lips

We're little children in the sand
I wanna see your face look so fragile
and feel your waterfall, falling on my skin

I brush my hand against your leg
and I can hear your timbre change
have I woken up a monster, in this forest that I wander
am I the master or the slave?

Underneath it all, heroes are unprotected
you can cast it all off, if you trust me with your secret

Chorus

Bridge
I wanna take off all your clothes
Read every book by your bed
And if you tell me you have to go
I'll run barefoot through the snow to say
Please don't leave yet . . . cause

Chorus
Additional Chorus lines
I only wanna breathe your scent
I wanna see your whole body tremble
you're taking me to the edge

Heaven is a kind of sin
I wanna have this memory when you're gone
of your waterfall, fallin' on my skin

Oooh, Baby, is it really fair?
Why did god make you so magical?

I wanna feel your waterfall, fallin' on my skin

Toby Mad-i-gan

I'm your biggest fan

Looks, and talent- man!

You write, you sing

You really rock

Put on a show

Let's see your... oh, I can't think what rhymes with rock.

Question: ValhallaI know you are not going to get into the metaphors but I hope you will reveal in your next vid or comments/reply how a location from Norse mythology worked its way into one of your songs. Just curious. thx!

Hey Toby: great to hear from you and see that you are staying on top of your game. Let me know when you come to the New York area.

Deep peace and happiness to you,

[NightBoy78]

I went over my limit... I listen to a lot of the songs on the radio today and most of the artists have their voices so manufactured and clearly computer enhanced it makes you wonder if they can really sing. And then there is Toby Madigan who puts it all out there, raw and unfiltered...excellent!! Thank you for the new "secret song"!!

[NightBoy78]

I think I like "version B" better...it is a little faster then "Vers A" and I like your ending on this one...I like when artists (that can sing) sing a cappella in their song, if they can hold it up it can show an artist with real talent! Yes, like you.

I like this version. Great song as always :-)
