Song #38: Known


"Known" is a simple little song juxtaposing the desire to be loved with the desire to give love. Because of its atypical form you could maybe say it's more of a short tone poem than a pop song.


LYRICS:

to be known
to be loved
to be cherished
to be witnessed
to have someone
that knows your soul
knows your weakness
knows your deepness
to be understood
to know you count
to be lost
and then be found
to be held close
to be let go
to be known

to be the one that knows
to be love
and to cherish
and to witness
to have someone
whose mind you blow
despite their weakness
and from your deepness
to understand
to show they count
and when they're lost
search 'till they're found
to know when to hold
when to let go
to be the one that knows

Song #32: Time of Day

This week's song is more of a style experiment than anything. I very much enjoy listening to a lot of Oldies and classic R&B and so I thought I'd enjoy writing my own modern spin on those genres. There's nothing profound in the least about these lyrics but that too was keeping in form (most of those old songs are really simple). This one's just for fun.

LYRICS:

You walk by me everyday
walking in your freedom
And I can't help but imagine the day
you give me all your lovin'

I can't help it I'm falling for you
Dream of all the crazy things we would do
But you don't even give me the time of day

You move ways that drive a man wild,
But only give resistance
Tight pants, tight shirt, show off your style,
but keep 'em at a distance

I can't help it I'm falling for you
Give me one shot, you'll want me too
But you don't even give me the time of day

I sure hope you don't get pissed
But it's past time you know I exist

I can't help it I'm falling for you
Dream of all the naughty things we would do
But you don't even give me the time of day
