Description
I wrote this piece for orchestra but between us we only had three instruments and a looper pedal. I’m joined by my dear friends Troy Everett (viola/b vox) and Lyell Roeder (keys). We had a lot of fun stripping this down for you. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
Candle flame
Flickers against my wall
Casting shadows that dance and deceive me
As they fall
The wind howls at my window
And I swear it screams your name
Haunting my every night and every day
Gotta get away
Is it you knocking
Is it you knocking at my door?
I can’t give you again what I have before
Is it you knocking at my door?
You don’t live here anymore
I hear you call my name
And a warmth creeps through my veins
Am I dreaming now or just insane?
I know better...
No, our love was fleeting
How could I forget?
You left my heart bleeding
Now here you stand
To take what I’m not giving
I know better than this
Than this
I know...
