about

The chorus melody to this one just came to me along with most the chorus lyrics. I found a nice chord progression that fit the melody and filled in the verse with some stream of consciousness stuff (off color white skies and sapphire shores and all that). Really proud of the melody and harmonies, reminds me of the stuff I wrote last year a lot.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Off color white shines through the sky
There's something almost wrong
But no one cares under the light

Still holding onto your song
Though maybe I should find
Somebody else to pass it on

Chorus:
I'll keep holding onto your secret
I'll keep holding onto your song
Though time tends to pass me like sand in the wind
And lately, I'm fed up with everything

Verse 2:
Sapphire shores and ruby sky
Didn't stop to think
The roaring tide would pass me by

Still holding onto something
It carves weird words inside my brain
So I know what so sing

Chorus:
I'll keep holding onto your secret
I'll keep holding onto your song
Though time tends to pass me like sand in the wind
And lately, I'm fed up with everything

*solo*

Bridge:
I think I'm done with everything

Chorus:
I'll keep holding onto your secret
I'll keep holding onto your song
Though time tends to pass me like sand in the wind
And lately, I'm fed up with everything
