TAKE ME WITH YOU
Baby here comes the sun, Don’t look surprised
Look up and see those heart shaped skies
And if this is heaven then let’s keep love alive
I can see above the clouds
Take me with you
Take me with you
I’m blowing purple crystals up against the silvery moon
And through my window pain I can see the daffodils will blossom soon
You can help me cope with these feelings so new
Feel my heart beating out loud
Sometimes I admit I don’t know what to do
All I know is want you to take me
Take me with you
Baby we can ride untill the break of dawn
And enjoy the late night kisses while laying in eachother’s arms
From the cradle to the grave let’s keep love alive
Feel your heart beating out loud
See the moon above the clouds
Sometimes I admit I don’t know what to do
All I know is want you to take me
When the morning comes tell me what you wanna do?
All I know is I want you to take me
Take me with you
Take me with you

Like Amsterdam With No Canals

We still have to go through some pronunciation issues Jules (Julian Wilson – lyrics) and me, but I decided to put it up anyway. Song took me quite some time to finish must say, and perhaps it’s better to have it online for some time while listening if it should have repairs.
Song started off when I wanted to have something “Amsterdam” (my hometown) in a song. It’s only one line in this song and for now, it’s title. But perhaps the title should be You Are My Compass - which also has a pronunciation issue because of stress on wrong syllable. As a matter of fact there was the idea of filling up whole song with mispronunciations…
More later.

Just Gettin’ Old

The challenge was the song’s title. Nobody wants to sing “I’m just gettin’ old”. And so how you gonna make this a fun-song to listen too? I tried speeding up the tempo a bit for someone that age, and during recordings was constantly thinking of Sean Connery for good inspiration. He don’t mind I guess… Discussion this song songwriter101.com: click here |

Down In The Jungle
I used this recording to test new DAW (Digital Audio System) Cubase 5. It will take months to really know what the software can do but it’s great fun. Yes, I used some pitch correction also.
It’s a bit of a strange tune, and maybe one day I might decide redoing it. Actually I wanted a soft sound and mysterious atmosphere. But somehow it developed into a 5 minute rock tune. What happened? Can’t tell – was too busy recording…
I still have to ask Shirley – who came with lyric – what exactly she means with lyric. But perhaps item at her songwriter101 forum will explain…
