One More Golden Day

Liner Notes

Big thanks to @alicelimoges for being such a pleasure to a work with as part of Round #3 of the Random Collaboration challenge and for the lyrics. It was a lot of fun coming up with the music and hopefully I have done the words justice.

Lyrics

I live in a darkened room
Venetian blinds just let shadows through
But I love this tomb to you
Memories get me through

Pre-chorus
You don’t love me how I like
Instead of affection, you turn the knife
But your attention is my only light
Could you love me again for one night?

Chorus:
I pray
For a golden day
Like we shared before our hearts decayed
I would throw
Throw my whole life away
Praying for one more golden day

I gave it all up to be
Witness to your misery
What pulled me in, what did I see
Now you’ve claimed all of me

Pre-chorus
Chorus

I’m hanging onto the memories
Stop being who I see in front of me
You promised me we could get back
Promise, promise you’ll come back
And though they are faraway
Let’s go back to those golden days

Wow Andy, you killed it! Your prompts for me were super fun and I loved what you did with it. Reminds me of the Psychedelic Furs

I agree with @moonraccoon - random collabs are fun but when you hear something like this, it can be a bit intimidating. This is a good balance the two of you have here. I very much wish I could spend a few hours in what was my "golden days", but I also realize that I wasn't having the time of my life either. This is a great write and the demo only enhances the goodness.

I love that dark chorus tone and the trudging beat, perfect for words like
I pray
For a golden day
Like we shared before our hearts decayed

I would do random collabs if I knew they could turn out this good!
