Cool things happening! I'm getting ready for some major changes in my live & one of them is actually having my own album done. Over the years I worked on various album projects, but I have to say I feel very happy to just write my own stuff now! I want to share a song with you that will be one of the more slower songs on the album (80 bpm IS slow! ;-)) The funny thing is that we lost parts of the recorded tracks, so now the song is in a somewhat rather unfinished staduim. But I still like the way it sounds. The lyrics are simple phrases to one of the things on my mind during the writing of the song. There's a song by Nick Lowe with the tittle 'All men are liars'. I think thats spot on, because we tend to deny our own instincts as men and prefere safety rather than adventure. Not stating that any kind of relationship doens't work, it just feels to me that a lot of people are chasing some kind of rigid lifestyle lived by the masses and advocated by the government instead of discovering their own self, the core of who there are & chasing their OWN dreams! There's a quote I got from Jon Krakauer's great book 'Into The Wild'; 'The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.' and another quote from the same book; 'I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.' When I was writing this song, I could not really put my finger on what exactly I felt, but now I know that I was feeling some aching to a life I no longer live. A 'normal life' is no option anymore, but I can't fool myself to say that I sometimes reflect on the time that has been between me and a good friend. So that's it in a nutshell, the lyrics tell everything: When I woke up this morning
my mind was with you Oh when I woke up this morning I was thinking of you So why can’t I be with you? Tell me baby I’m wondering where you are Com’on tell me baby are you thinking of me When I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind When I woke up this morning I couldn’t help myself why can’t I go without you? When I woke up this morning my mind was with you When I woke up this morning I was thinking of you So why am I so untrue? |
