https://soundcloud.com/user-515453056/love-is-hard/s-cWsnWhttps://soundcloud.com/user-515453056/breathless/s-gpKKBI really need to start writing music again. Good, bad or ugly, music saves me. Having a crappy morning so I went looking through some old files to find these 2. I wrote and recorded them 10+ years ago, don’t recall exactly when. I’m on the guitars and the drum loops, and my partner Krista is on vocals. We were using Cool Edit Pro for recording, and had figured out how to import drum loops and play around with them a bit. The music isn’t perfect, but it was fun. Breathless I like because at that time I couldn’t play the music I ended up writing and playing! The bends on that one are off, I’m going to blame that it’s difficult to bend notes on an acoustic guitar. Love Is Hard I like because it was just a fun song to record, figuring out the drums a bit. I was never happy with the bridge on that one though, too forced.
Anyway, a trip down memory lane this morning.

LOVE IS HARD
V 1
Love ain't no whisper in the stillness
Ain't no gentle touch of rain
Ain't no considered steady walk
Love ain't no gentle breath of air
No please and thanks it's unprepared
Love is lightning in the dark
Baby love is hard
Chorus
I'm not the one for you
Funny that when you're the one for me
Take my passion, take my soul, take my heart
Baby love is hard
V 2
Love ain't the something that you stole away
A world of sweet and true
Love ain't the pieces of my heart
Love ain't the truth that got away
Ain't no tomorrow no today
Love is lightning in the dark
Baby love is hard
Chorus
Bridge
Show me a world of lovers talking, laughing
I'll show you a world of strangers lonely
Fill my senses my delight my wonder
And when the world breaks off and leaves me lonely
I know
Chorus
BREATHLESS
V1
Every midnight, every morning
Every hour of every day
Every breath, every touch, every kind of reason
Every word I could possibly say
Chorus
Like a river running to the ocean, I need you
Like a rainbow after the stormin, I want you
Leave me breathless
V2
Every today, every tomorrow
Every laughter and every dream
It's every prayer, it's all my life, it's heaven falling on me
When you stand so close I can barely breathe
Chorus
Bridge
Somewhere outside this love
There's a million pieces of the chatter of the world
And I don't turn my head and I don't lose my way
All I see is you
Chorus
