Shallow Song - ©2006

Verse 1
All this time we spend - alone
These empty days we call - our own
Spending what is left
No anger, no regret

We just move along
Singing our shallow song

Trying hard to forget

Verse 2
I remember you - and me
We were young and wrong - as we could be
Said that we'd go slow
That seems so long ago

Now we move along
Singing our shallow song

Trying hard to let go

Verse 3
Shadows of the past - remain
Falling hard on me - like rain
No desire to try
Never knowing why

I'll just move along
Singing this shallow song

Trying hard to get by

the music is beautiful in this song, the pace and rythm really work. I am hearing more punctuation in the lyrics, like more delay spacing and a more variable stress or accent on certain key words. This is a sad song and the voice and lyrics seemed well adapted to portay audible emotion - as if what is said is not something that wants to be said,... delays, stops and accents that go with that kind of personna.

So for example:

All this,.. TIME.. we spend, a..LONE
These,. EMPTY days.. we CALL.. our own (rising in note)
SPENDING what is LEFT (lowering in tone
No ANGER,.. without REGRET (rising in tone)

I don't know, just ideas to spark your own thoughts and tastes.
