Emotion and Words
I wanted to share with you this song I wrote a couple months ago with the many changes that this year has given me in life.
It's a reminder to everyone listening and to myself that 'feeling' an emotion is not the same as *associating* it to names, faces, places, situation and words. While recording this, I was interrupted by a kid in the parking lot who seemed to be amused by the singing. lol I felt like it was an appropriate surprise so I kept the take.
I left my blues behind,
I didn't lose it, I just don't use it
It's right where I left my keys
If you see it just leave it be, leave it be
I don't need a place to call home
Or a song playin' in repeat just to prove me love
All of it can stay, there's nothing wrong
I don't need emotion in words
Words, words
Places and names, they don't work
Breathe in the moment and feel my love
My love
Love, love, love
It's only a word we're dreamin' of
Breathe in the moment and return
To my love
I've got no secret place, secret game
Not today, this is all I am
Don't get lost in fairy tales, movie scenes
We can make this moment last much better
I don't need a plan to make love,
Let it flow. If it's meant to be surely we will know
All of it can fade come tomorrow
So I won't feed emotion with words
Words, words
Places and names, they don't work
Breathe in the moment and feel my love
My love
Love, love, love
It's only a word we're dreamin' of
Breathe in the moment and return
To my love
