SpoilerI have two collaborators on this song. One is my friend Jeff who I played in a band with and submitted one song fight song together. He sang back up vocals and played guitar on the bridge and outro. His daughter I've never collaborated with before. She sang lead and also played the flute in the bridge. I think we called and responded in three different ways. 1. The funny little cheer before the song starts. 2. Swapping lines in the verses. 3. Interplay between the synth and the real flute she played in the bridge. Otherwise, this is a love song about the feelings you have early in a relationship. I would have had my wife sing with me if not for this challenge, or made this a Cutie Pies track.
Ready, set? You bet!
C G x4
Let’s paint the stars with stories
Underneath the silver moon
I can feel the sparks of wonder
I can hear a thunderous tune
F G C C x 2
F G Am G
F G C C x 1
Every heart beat feels misleading
If you’re not feeling all your feelings
You’ll go round and round repeating
Once more, with feeling
Let’s raise a glass together
To the dreams we’ve yet to find
Every day we’re turning pages
We can leave our past behind
Chorus
Bridge/solo - also a call and response
Dm Dm C G x4
Let’s sit in our secret garden
Share our hidden mysteries
Our future a braided garland
Our lives an ornate tapestry
Chorus
