Sounds like: Fleetwood Mac Floating into Space from Sheer Joy"
****#11 on the Current's top 89 of the Local Current in 2017****
This is a straight up, unabashed pop song about love. It's about that moment when you're falling in love and a little scared, but you know deep down that everything will be okay because it feels right.
At first when I was making this song—the beat, the synths, and writing the melody before the lyrics came into play—I thought it was too poppy and not "weird" enough for us. But I showed it to Nigel and Sarah and they both really liked it.
Sonically it's much different than the rest of the album, but it came out of a true place of excitement and love and hope for the future.
lyrics
You were the first
time I felt clean.
You are the sun,
the soul I need
So wake me up in the morning
Breathe into me
Give me heat, give me everything
You make my heart
My whole body scream
I could never let you go
I could never let you go
You were the first
I loved so deep
I'm scared but I
feel so relieved
So wake me up in the morning
Breathe into me
Give me heat, give me everything
You make my heart
My whole body scream
I could never let you go
I could never let you go
I could never let you go
So wake me up in the morning
Breathe into me
Give me heat, give me everything
You make my heart
My whole body scream
I could never let you go
I could never let you go
Wake me up in the morning
Give me heart, give me heat!
