What If

Liner Notes

I found that one much harder to sing. It's not quite my tone, but that's the way the song told me to be.

Lyrics

What If
2024
---

(Verse 1)
Bm
What if I
A
Confused the day
E
Should I trust myself
G
To light the way
Bm
What if I
A
Just found my place
E
But wish I was
G
Right back in outer space

(Verse 2)
What if
A dream has just come true
But wasn't really mine
Just expecations shining through

How long
Can we defy the scorching flame
The things we like
The things we do
Don't need to be the same

(Bridge)
F#
Oh no
G
As you see
A A
This is all of me

(Pre-Chorus)
Bm Bm
When you look at me
E E
I lose my mind
Bm Bm
Nothing's in my eyes
E E
And nothing's fine
G
Take me away

(Chorus)
D
To your universe
F#
Your planet is lightyears away from here
G
But that feels quite close to me

(Verse 3)
What if
Time was all there is
It's either short or way too long
We're tired or we miss it

And so
What's the reason why i feel?
Asking things and thinking things
Does that make them real?

(Bridge) ...

Thanks @headfirstonly and @mace66 for your comments. From my point of view sounding like Oasis is a good thing - I am not sure how I did it though ;)
I never really found great sounding synth strings so I thought I keep this one more guitar focused.

Like @headfirstonly I was getting a bit of 'Gallagher' in the vocals (hey they're multi-millionaires from it so that's not a bad thing). I think if you added some sweeping pad strings in the back it would be very Oasis.

I heard "There's a zombie" rather than "This is all of me" in the bridge, and I kinda like the idea of that. There's a distinctly Oasis vibe to the vocals, sorry about that.
