I'll Surrender

Liner Notes

Another great lyric by @cindyrella that needed to have music put to it. I was thinking a more 80's vibe to this and I hope that this 80's punky love song treatment does the trick :)

Lyrics

I'll Surrender
© 2024 Cindy Prince

I was on my way to the top
Sometimes it seemed it was non-stop
Until I entered into that bookshop
And saw your eyes

I was a go-getter day in and day out
Being successful was all my life was about
I never had one ounce of self doubt
But you were a surprise

Chorus
In one moment I knew I'd surrender
There was something so special in you
Your essensce was such pure splendor
I'll do anything you want me to do
I want to dive into the splendor of you

Bridge
Suddenly my work life seems empty and sad
Please be my love-I want you so bad

I used to have plans for me alone
Always working my fingers to the bone
But you showed me a life I'd never known
Now I'm doing things I never thought I'd do

I used to be a true overachiever
But now I've got a new kind of fever
And you've made me a true love believer
I'll surrender everything to you

Repeat chorus

Such a classic progression! Excellent synth riff as well, very catchy. This feels like a warm blanket, so unexpected and yet comforting.

80s vibe and then some! This really takes me back, there is no pretending I can't remember the 80s 😀 The choice of music style goes perfectly with the lyric, That chunky guitar tone in the chorus just makes it for me. Yeah!

Doesn't get any more 80s than this one! Great lyrics by Cindy and a terrific vocal and music bed to show them off! Great collaboration, you two! ❤️

80's punk perfection! I knew you'd know exactly what to do! I feel like I went back to my early 20's and dancing at one of those places I used to go to. I Love It!!
