Finde Songtexte

For people who've traveled all over, loved and lost, won and lost, etc, they can tell you some amazing stories, though that's not even half of what they've been through. I felt like I wanted to express this in a song, so here are some of the travels - but only about the half of it all. The chorus is progressive in vocalization, midway through and picking up for the end.

This is meant to be a fun song. I was trying to live a bit vicariously through those olden days of Elvis maybe, and figured I'd write one fun and upbeat. I think lyrically it's decent, though, while the chorus is mainly just built on a phrase. The idea is that the "Gonna send it to you" is a separate vocal after suggesting what's being sent, so it doesn't break the flow of the song. Plus, it sounds better with the slight overlap.

This one started with the chorus, which is built on melodic alliteration. So it might be a bit tougher to grasp through just reading it. Though I think it stands up very well as a complete song. I tried to write verses that weren't just derivative nonsense leading into a stronger chorus; I think it holds equal weight throughout for what it is. Just note that "every" is phonetically "Ev-ree," and I think you can piece it together.

A few years ago when I was going through a period of being single and drinking heavily, I had one of those moments where I started reflecting back on previous women, and this is what came about. Not too sure how much it means to me on a personal level, other than to say this is the sort of stuff that ends up pouring out, good, bad or indifferent.

Not all that glitters is gold.... sometimes it's silver. Perfection isn't real, but suicide is.
