I suspect most Sciencebase readers are not particularly interested in my songwriting process, but I’ve been posting different strands of my songs, snaps, and science for so long now that if you’re still with me, then you’re still with me and I thank you for your patience and loyalty!
Anyway, I talked about the process of a new track – “That’s okay, tonight” – a few days ago, it was always on the cards, though I was in denial, that what was an annotated instrumental would inevitably become a song.
That’s okay, tonight
Step up to the light, learn you’re not the only dreamer
Find a place for you to shine
Try as you might, you won’t find another schemer
Who twists the knife like you’re not mine
…and I’m telling you…
You were the calm before the storm,
You told the lies that kept me warm
And you had it all, though I could’ve sworn you’d thrown it all away
No, I don’t want another fight
I’ll see you in the glare of the morning light
No need to cry tonight
No, I don’t want another fight
We’re okay for tonight
