Trembling Heart

by @blainev83

Liner Notes

First song I've written in about a year that wasn't a collab. here we go!

Lyrics

Young man, are you listening?
We traveled a long way now, haven't we?
Time's end, and we miss them
Get lost in yesterday's and memories

We are learning now
We are finding out
That the love and pain
are what life's all about
We are guilty of
Always running from
All the hardest parts
That are still to come

This is your soul whispering
To your trembling heart
It's time to get up off your knees
Put down the load you've been carrying
And become a part of the life
You've been missing

41, but sometimes it feels like
Your life got paused at 17
Took the fun, took the night life
And drank away all of your dreams

We are learning now
We are finding out
That the love and pain
are what life's all about
We are guilty of
Always running from
All the hardest parts
That are still to come

This is your soul whispering
To your trembling heart
It's time to get up off your knees
Put down the load you've been carrying
And become a part of the life
You've been missing

This is your soul whispering
To your trembling heart
It's time to get up off your knees
Put down the load you've been carrying
And become a part of the life
You've been missing

For my money, you've got one of the most cohesive sonic portfolios of anyone in the FAWMverse, and this slots right in. Elements borrowed from all the right places, put together really well. Love the big harmonies, and it's a super catchy AOR-ready melody.

Really cool tune, I dig it muchly.

Great work here! Love the progression from section to section, really lets the chorus hit every time. Also love how the vocals and guitar sound

Congrats on your first non-collab in awhile! I'd love to know more about your writing/recording process too. I agree with @nancihobson1 - fantastic production!

It’s great to hear a new Blaine song. I’ve missed them. Melodically gorgeous. Love love love that chorus

This makes me feel nostalgic for a life I haven't lived... well done! I love the way you add extra vocal takes to supplement the main vocal delivery, very reminiscent of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour in particular (both of which I love!). A very well put together song, between the interweaving of the percussion, guitar, and vocals, the excellent production, and the compelling lyrics, again, well done!
