Liner Notes

#badsongclub #folk #acousticonetake #dorian

The song pretty much says it all. I'm glad for the Bad Song Club prompt. Learned Dorian progressions this evening and applied them here. (I may have written other songs with those progressions, but this is the first one that's intentionally Dorian.)

Lyrics

(Capo 2)

V1
Em
Candlelight
G
Fairy rings
D
Scent of sage
A
What it brings

Doze away
Safe alone
Drift along
Coming home

CHORUS
Em G D A
Enchanted by the rain falling down on me
Em G D A
Enchanted by the blue and summer sky
Em G D A
Enchanted by the winds off the azure sea
Em G D A
Enchanted by you, by and by

V2
Cast a spell
Light your fire
Burn in me
Such desire

Wish upon
A falling star
Let it all
Be as we are

CHORUS

BRIDGE
G D A
Go, let it go, let it wash away the pain
G D A
Go, let it go, before we go insane
G D A
Go, let it go, let it burn up in the air
Em A
Let it make us into those who care

Take a light
Say goodbye
Let it be
Our final cry

From the wind
To the sea
Out from you
And back to me

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS

(fade)

Another fan of Dorian here. It’s a tricky thing to balance the other worldliness of Dorian with the need to make a song relatable, and I think you’ve done it well here. Another vote for your wonderful chorus as well. An Azure sea truly belongs in a song like this.
