Words & Butterflies

Challenge: Tempo Change

Liner Notes

I made it this week but I wish I had someone help me sing it. Or do the piano.
Anyway, another one in A minor. Maybe I will add a acoustic version of it.

Lyrics

(verse 1)
words
only make it worse
this time there is no turning back
tell it from my eyes
time
it's only for a while
ask me for a reason why
and I will make it up
I guess I will make it up

(chorus)
somewhere
between the ocean and the sky
something makes me wanna love you
and it makes me say goodbye
it's alright
it's only time that's running out
if it hurts me, or it hurts you
it's only sorrow thought out loud

(bridge)
words and butterflies

(verse 2)
words
words and butterflies
they are running through my mind
tearing down the skies
time
I guess we've had it in a dream
there's a reason for us wanting all
but we made it up
we just made it up

(chorus)
somewhere
between the ocean and the sky
something makes me wanna love you
now it makes me wanna cry
it's alright
it's only time that's running out
if it hurts me, or it hurts you
it's only sorrow thought out loud

something makes me wanna love you
now it makes me wanna cry
words and butterflies
words and butterflies

Personally, I think the vocals and piano are great! Love the Badfinger vibe of the opening section, segueing into something more Guns & Roses in the second half. Sounds awesome! 'It's only sorrow thought out loud' is a particularly good line, and the overall emotion in the performance really draws the listener in. Great track!

I really like the keyboard part, and the effects you put on it. The vocal melody is enjoyable also, it has some nice rises and falls to it. I'm not usually a huge relationship-songs person, but this felt genuine and is well-phrased. Neat stuff. 😀
