October 8, 2007Vital SignsThis song came to me in two separate parts. The chorus woke me up about 2am one morning while I was enjoying a cuddle with my beloved wife and I starting thinking about how lucky I am to be in that position and how fragile relationships can be. The music came to me while I was practicing an arpeggiation pattern and moving it around different chord combinations as simply as I could. The parts came together over a period of ... weeks, I guess. The rest pretty much wrote itself once I had the basic ideas down. The song debuted in my fRETfEST semi-final, October 2007, and seemed to go down well. Steve Dillon was there and said it was a good song and my best so far, so I thought I'd better post it ASAP and see what people think ... ??? You can listen to a stream here or download it (mp3, 5.4MB) here. I performed everything and it was recorded at QUT by Adam Howard and mixed, etc by me at home.
Will we be lovers this afternoon? Let me lay my head on your chest. I want to hear your vital signs. Will we find happiness together? Let me lay my head on your chest. I want to hear your vital signs. Moonlight shines on you Let me lay my head on your chest. I want to hear your vital signs. ***************************************** Here's a video of me performing it at SNQ Presents, Kitty O'Shea's, in May 2010: ***************************************** Please note: This song is APRA registered: Work ID GW35903985; ISWC T-060949628-7.
