Liner Notes

SONG #50!!!! YAY!!!!

Might be finishing more with a whimper than a bang (my girlfriend said, and I quote, "...not my favorite one"--I'm still crying myself to sleep over that one), but...hey, I finished!

Not intending to do any more "original" songs this season--travel plans and...burnout. But tomorrow I'm going to upload an AI-generated song that I did lyrics for that was my first effort with UDIO.com and which I was pretty amazed at. (My Facebook Friends here may have already heard it). We can be "Haters" about the AI effect on songwriting--but it's here and it's going to stay...and it DOES write a pretty good (even great now and then) song. So we can whine about it or y'all "lyrics only" songwriters could explore Suno and Udio and get a little more "well-rounded". Point being: Listen to tomorrow's song--it's pretty amazing!

And I hope you enjoy this song! (More than my girlfriend did...[Sob!])

I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU UP

I've fallen down a rabbit hole,
deep and dark, my dear,
A world so strange and twisted,
but still, I feel you near.
The shadows of your love,
they haunt me through the night,
A labyrinth of memories of
when things were alright.

CHORUS:
I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU UP
My heart's a broken record,
a tempest in a teacup.
The stars they may collide,
and the world may fade away,
But I'll be by your side,
in the chaos come what may.

A phantom you've become,
a ghost that's in my head,
Your laughter and your voice,
echoes of the things you've said.
I dance with your shadow
in the moonlight's cold embrace,
Searching for your spirit
in the darkness of this space.

I'm lost in your gaze, your touch,
your love so tough,
I beg for your attention
for too much is not enough.
Can't you see it's killing me,
this love we have made?
But I'm addicted to the high,
and I can't walk away.

CHORUS:
I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU UP
My heart's a broken record,
a tempest in a teacup.
The stars they may collide,
and the world may fade away,
But I'll be by your side,
in the chaos come what may.

In this galaxy of chaos,
you're my one true love.
I see you and your beauty
in the simple stars above.
The universe may shatter,
but our love will still stand,
And I'll hold onto you,
with my heart in your hand.

CHORUS:
I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU UP
My heart's a broken record,
a tempest in a teacup.
The stars they may collide,
and the world may fade away,
But I'll be by your side,
in the chaos come what may.
