Song 44: I die

What this episode covers

This, our 9th last song (!!), is probably best described as a cross between Apples in Stereo and Foo Fighters (or maybe just Dave without the band). Let's get to it. Song Discussion CHRIS: Today, I will be brief with the text bits. Awhile back our friend Gordon requested a "Chris piano song," and this is probably closest to what he had in mind. Over the course of this project I've noticed that I get the most positive feedback when I'm pushing the upper limits of my vocal range, so this song also attempts to do that. I had a hard time filling out the instrumentation... after I recorded the vocals and main piano part I wasn't sure where to take it from there, and I"m not sure I did the best job at that, so it might not sound full enough. But it still turned out pretty ok, I think. Lyrics I could write you a love song But it won’t be long ‘til another takes its place I could buy you a rose But soon there would be no trace And I keep on thinking about How to turn it around And I keep on crying out loud Every night, do you hear me? I die every time I see your disappointment Ask why you and I can’t work it out I try dodging lies and dousing them with ointment Ask why you and I can’t work it out I could build you a new home Where we’d be all alone, you and me and a new lease But they always come knocking They always break the peace And I keep on thinking about How to turn it around And I keep repeating vows Every night, do you hear me? I die every time I see your disappointment Ask why you and I can’t work it out I try dodging lies and dousing them with ointment Ask why you and I can’t work it out Credits Words and music: Chris Tindal Chris Tindal: Vocals, keyboards, drums (programmed) Steve Salt: Hi Steve!
