You Are The One, I Am The Other

Liner Notes

I got a teeny bit behind this month, but I am still going to make my best effort!

Here is a little song about (mis)communication.

"The Voice Beneath the Sea" 1956

Lyrics

I can only see you
from where I stand
Even when I move my head
It's hard to change my own mind

Maybe I'll never truly understand
But I still want to try

You are the one
I am the other
In all the space between us
There is
so much to discover

You keep using words
I know I've heard
There are too many meanings
I'm stuck in my own world

Maybe we'll never truly understand
But maybe let's try

You are the one
I am the other
In all the space between us
There is so much to discover

I want to believe we have more in common than just being human

You are the one
I am the other
In all the space between us
There is so much to discover

You are the one
I am the other
In all the space between us
There is so much to discover

I love how much "you are the one, I am the other" makes me imagine just these two figures and everything else disappears. Also, the video you used is killer. A great fit.

I really like the guitar style - with the kind of mute-y-nness, letting certain notes ring...mesmerizing.
The lyric phrasing like "You are the one I am the other" certainly nothing weird about it - but unique enough to be noticed.
Solid.
