[Joe Rodriguez]

Hi,

 

First time writing.  After going over the song Sideways by Citizen Cope, I had a difficult time desipherinig it different sections.  Can someone please explain where's the chorus, bridge, verses and whatever else is in this song?

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
'Cause, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out, babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away

But these feelings won't go away

It ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There're no words to describe it
In French or in English
'Cause diamonds they fade (diamonds they fade)
And flowers they bloom (flowers they bloom)
And I'm telling you

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out, babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away

But diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
I'm telling you
Diamonds they fade
Flowers they bloom (flowers they bloom)
I'm telling you
I'm telling you

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out, babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

But these feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away, no
These feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away

Hi Joe,

cool topic/question. I'm not professional at this but I made my best guess and notated above. Let's see what the rest of the Songstuffers come up with!

I'm going to have a listen to the song now...off I go to Youtube land!

Joe,

 

It would be nice to introduce yourself first.

Because you want anyone to mistake your request as just under-the-radar self promotion now would you?

I am wondering why you are analyzing this song. Are you learning this as a cover tune, or looking for inspiration to write a tune of your own?

Just curious is all... Your profile doesn't give any info on what type of music you like or your influences.
