Story Behind The Song

Basically a love song, but with a slightly different angle... calm and respectful, caring, adoring, but there is something uneasy too lurking through the lines. Not exactly what we all dream of, rather the way real life often tends to be.

Song Description

Slow, Ukulele-based song with Male Vocals. Drums, Synth Bass, Backing vocals complete the arrangement, additional sparse but cinematic orchestration towards the end of the song.

Lyrics

I will not write a song


I will not write a song about
your beauty and your tenderness
I will not sing about your smile
that lightens up everything around it

I will not struggle to describe
your virtues one by one
'cause I could never get close enough
with my humble, clumsy words

I will not rhyme, I will not match
syllables to sentences
will not arrange (some) strings and flutes
to illustrate the joy you brought
into my life like noone else

I will not paint, I will not dance
I will not write a poem
all I will do is sit here still
and look into your eyes

I will not praise your inner calm
and will not laud your touch
I will not search for music
in my heart to match your kiss

I will not rhyme, I will not match
syllables to sentences
will not arrange these strings and flutes
to illustrate the joy you brought
into my life like noone else

I will not write a song about
your beauty and your tenderness
I will not sing about your smile
that lightens up even the darkest place
any place... but your soul
