This song is about someone who's in love with someone else who's already in a relationship. So despite all the times he's daydreamed about being with her, they're still only daydreams. The idea of dancing with his own shadow isn't just literal; it's also metaphorical in the sense that these feelings make him feel like a shadow of his former self.

This is a song about Homer Joy - a criminally underrated songwriter in the country-music genre, who wrote the hit song "Streets of Bakersfield," and a whole lot of other songs. Though it's also generally about a man who led a troubled life and tried hard to walk a straight and narrow path. Like so many of us, sometimes he stayed on it, sometimes he veered off.

This is a typical love song, a guy singing about a girl. The idea of this song is that he's in love with her all the time, all day, every day, and with everything she does.

These lyrics are an adaptation from a play written by Shakespeare. The play is quite long and at times hard to read. So, I gave up and read the cliff notes. I tried to capture the spirit of the tragedy. It is not word for word. And I made a lot of changes. It was that wonderful name he gave to the main character that intrigued me, Othello. What a great name. Also, in writing these lyrics, I thought about how humans recall things. We remember events by experiencing them with our senses. Have you ever smelled something and immediately remembered an event that smelled like that? Roses smell like my high school prom. Vanilla smells like Christmas. Sounds also can send us back in time. Loud bangs put me in a warzone. Lawnmowers remind me of summer. You get the picture. Enjoy.
