My voice kept giving out while recording this song (also why I keep slipping out of tune*), so it took a lot longer for me to finish than usual. Nothing too fancy; three piano tracks and a bass track recorded in Reason with a keyboard, drum loops and vocals done in Adobe Audition. Reviews greatly appreciated!
* I'm not a big fan of Auto-Tune, and only use pitch correction in extreme cases. Also, I need to quit smoking.
i remember the days we used to sing of
broken resolutions and cold summers
with your hand on my chest, you'd reassure me
that bruises would all fade in time
that i've set my sights on impossible expectations
i've been so foolish, you're my anchor
i remember the days that i spent spinning
'round and 'round in aimless, frantic circles
kicking up rings of dust, searching for the missing piece
that holds together a discombobulated ticker
and after all that's said and done
you always were the one
hungry hearts and open mouths
crooked walls and painted smiles
glaring lights and bloodshot eyes
you have me so completely captured
open hearts and hungry mouths
painted walls and crooked smiles
you've stripped me of all fear and shame
but i'm still weakened when i breathe your name
i've finally realized the magnitude of
the tingles you send down my back when i hear your voice
through fm waves and hour-long phone calls
through masqueraded love songs and
the sweetest notes you'd leave me, smiling
through the crowd of faceless people
i could pick you out with little trouble
your kiss renders my surrender
i will follow you through hell
