Remember Us Beautiful (with Marion Doerflinger)

Liner Notes

#collab #acousticonetake

Marion came over with two lyrics. This first one we re-worked together before setting it to music. I'm pretty darn happy with it but suggestions are welcome.

Lyrics

I remember our first touch
The first time we kissed
I remember how you winked at me
That’s what I’ll mostly miss

Remember us beautiful and not what we became
Remember when you whispered instead of yelling my name
Remember the good times don’t dwell on the bad
Remember us fondly and what we once had
Remember us beautiful

Now it seems it’s over
I know you’ll walk away
The hurting time continues
I wait for it to fade

Remember us beautiful and not what we became
Remember when you whispered instead of yelling my name
Remember the good times don’t dwell on the bad
Remember us fondly and what we once had
Remember us beautiful

This hollow feeling shrouds me as I look up at the stars
The loneliness continues in our lover’s empty arms
Don’t forget the good times in shutting out the pain
Don’t forget that we both hurt the same

Remember us beautiful and not what we became
Remember when you whispered instead of yelling my name
Remember the good times don’t dwell on the bad
Remember us fondly and what we once had
Remember us beautiful

Another great piece with a great hook. The chorus is great, really digging that and the bridge was great too. I love the theme of the intro verse, first touch, first kiss , the wink is a great touch. If you were to try to change anything I would point at the verse as the chorus and bridge are great, but the second verse could potentially be a shorter bridge with the opening of "Now it seems it's over", but it's good as is.

Another good one! The music feels solid to me.
