Time Got Away From Me
I wrote this a few days ago. The lyrics came pretty easy and after a bit so did the melody and chords. I recorded the vocals and guitar in my garage, after my housemates finally left for a few hours. I played and recorded the drum and the bass track this afternoon in my friends garage and mixed it all tonight back on my home computer. It was my first time recording and playing drums on a song, I think it went well.
Time It Got Away From Me 12-21-09
I can still feel the water splashing, my chest it tight with air
The sky it burns hot red and orange, like there's a fire up there
The glint in your eye, your confident smile, you knew I wanted you then
But night it came and it got too late and I lost you once again
Time it got away from me
It took you away from me
so far away from me
That fire it burned but barely warmed the wood so soaked and wet
I wished to myself that it'd been just like the day that we first met
The branches grew and we climbed inside and we smiled at what we'd found
I brought my camera, but I left it on the ground
You got so close to me
You stayed so close to me
You were so close to me
We let it all out right then and right there and we breathed in deep as we could
You were the brightest thing in the sky and I stared and you looked good
The canyon breeze would have blown your hair, i looked up but I was alone
So I'm stoking the fire with my two hands, waiting for you to come home
I'll make sure you stay with me
I'll keep you right here with me
I'll make sure you stay with me

From time to time, I'll be posting songs I've written and recorded. You can stream the music here, or download it or give it to your friends, I just want to share. This is what I love, and I'm giving it away.

i absolutely love it. keep it up=)
Hey, just found your blog and listened to this song. I think it's fantastic and was wondering if you've stopped making music, seeing as you haven't posted in a while?
Thank you. I'd like to say I haven't quit making music, but it's coming up on a year since I've written a song. Which is not I had planned. I miss writing music, I want to make an effort for it be to part of my life again.
this music is amazing.
