Song Post 20
Another original song I wrote 2010 and recorded in 2011 on my Boss BR-900. Again, I play all instruments and sing.
I wrote this line, "love is a circle, not a line," because Ive always felt true love has no beginning and no end. But I was also thinking that love wasn't a "line," you know, something you just say. You shouldn't throw a word like that around casually which is why I never did. If I felt it to be true, then its for life. I then wrote, "and you should never say things you don't mean, and you should never mean things you don't say" ... meaning, don't leave anything you feel/know unsaid.
John Lennon once said, "life happens when your busy making other plans," and I agree... Ive had past girlfriends who were always busy making other plans instead being present and enjoying/appreciating the moment. Then I thought if I could go back in time it would be to the 1960'sYou know peace and love. I always wished I was 21 in 1969, cause I love the spirit, people, music, and culture and so on. ( Yes I know Im idealizing the period :) ). Just a bit of insight on the birth of a song.
Anyways...Thanks for listening and please post a comment. In the words of Ringo... "Peace & Love" :)
A Circle
Im walking through the empty streets alone
past the places you seem to now outgrown.
When life was happening you were busy makin other plans
to ever notice that the truth was in your hands.
Now you make life harder than it needs to be,
the best things in life they say are free.
And Im no poet, but the time is now
but sometimes I wish I were somewhere else.
Part of me goes back to 1969
Wavin that flag for peace and leavin the pain behind.
Cause love is a circle, not a line, love in a circle not a line
And you should never say things you dont mean
And you should never mean things you dont say.
Im starin at the right side of the bed,
creating stories from the pictures in my head.
If lifes a puzzle until the pieces find their fit
Does it really matter if Im easy to forget?
Now you make life harder than it needs to be,
the best things in life they say are free.
And Im no poet, but the time is now
but sometimes I wish I were somewhere else.
Part of me goes back to 1969
Wavin that flag for peace and leavin the pain behind.
Cause love is a circle, not a line, love in a circle not a line
And you should never say things you dont mean
And you should never mean things you dont say.
And you should never say things you dont mean
And you should never mean things you dont say.
And you should never say things you dont mean
And you should never mean things you dont say.
