Too Fast

Challenge: Tempo Change

Liner Notes

For the tempo change challenge I came up with a chorus about moving too fast and then had to work my way backwards from there.

Do you believe in love at first sight? It is one of those experiences that your first encounter sets your mind in stone, like ghosts or aliens. An interesting feeling for sure.

Took four hours or more. Having a hard time come in for a story here, and I was procrastinating getting it done. I think I want to rework some of the verses for a more primal feel, probably the last two lines of the third verse.

Lyrics

Too Fast
[capo 3]
am em
from across the bar our eyes collide
a comet blazed across a harvest sky
an ancient signal raised since the dawn of man
a one stand or a soul mate firstly found

[chorus]
c b7 em
i might be moving just a little too fast for you
shut me down, go ahead and set me free
come on girl, i know you wanna come with me
i might be moving just a little too fast for you

i've never heard a single word you've said
but i know that your voice, the sweetest of sounds
i know i might be rougher than the edges of the this town
but i can take you higher than you've ever flow before

[chorus]

i know that we met for the first time
but theres bells ringing in the chapel of my head
summer time with toes in the sand
a warm fireplace in our mountain home

[chorus]

[subline]
i'll be dancing in the moonlight to my own melody
come on girl, i know you wanna lay me down

[fade]
i might be moving just a little too fast for you

This has some good pieces to it. Loving the tempo change that alternates the vibe I get. Strong repetition of the main line. Lots of directions the story could go in.

it is really nice when the tempo picks up for the choruses. especially how you take it back down pretty imperceptibly. some nice turns of phrase/imagery. nice take on the challenge
