Liner Notes

Wouldn't really be a FAWM without a collab with Doug. Work, studies and family have been keeping me busy so I haven't really been committing to the challenge this year, but these lyrics were a most welcome encouragement to get something done.

Instrumentation: acoustic and electric guitar (with some slide), bass, djembe, tambourine and shaker.

Doug: I always await with great anticipation any song that @cheslain agrees to do with my lyrics (well, really, ANY song he does) and this was well worth the wait. I love the way the song starts off slowly and then explodes after the first chorus. Incredible sonic atmospherics and no one else I know has this kind of voice. A huge thank you for another terrific collab!

Lyrics

I’ve had my eye on you
You’ve had your eye on me
It’s time to get together
Wouldn’t you agree?

No need to put it off
We know the time is right
We both have got a feeling
Something we can’t fight

Meet me in the forest
Just outside of town
Meet me in the forest
As the sun goes down
Meet me in the forest
And make
The world
Go round

Our march so straight and true
But now it’s time for curves
Two lives of self-denial
Let’s give in to this urge

Meet me in the forest
Just outside of town
Meet me in the forest
As the sun goes down
Meet me in the forest
And make
The world
Go round

(B)
I want to touch you touching me
Kiss the small of your back
Find the light I know you’ve been hiding
As the sky around us grows black

Meet me in the forest
Just outside of town
Meet me in the forest
As the sun goes down
Meet me in the forest
And make
The world
Go round

I like the slow pace and you have a head start with my liking for your voice and Doug’s lyrics. Lovely music matches up what has that sad element! Top stuff!

a classic of suppressed desire longing to burst forth. the music is bursting with erotic energy, quickening the pulse of the passionately delivered lyrics.
