Description
When I first heard Estella's voice over a year ago I thought to myself 'I'm going to write a powerpop song for her to sing someday'. I'm a big fan of Rachel Hayden's vocals and the songs she did with 'That Dog' and 'The Rentals', and I've always wanted to collaborate with a vocalist that can sing as well as she does. When I heard Estella do her thing, I knew she was the one. So, I sent her a note and asked if she was interested. Luckily for me she was on board and I got to work. It took a while for both of us to really get going with it (life got in the way), but after I sent her a rough mix and she sent back her lead vocals, I was totally floored. She did something so original with the verses I wasn't expecting. Something that brought a real emotion to the song (you'll hear what I mean), and something I wouldn't have thought of doing. She also came up with a great lyrical concept that suits the song perfectly. I added some BG and bridge vocals to finish it off and here we have 'Afraid of Love'. I couldn't be more happy with how this turned out. It's been in the works since February but it's totally been worth the wait. This song is everything I hoped for and more. Thanks Estella. You nailed it.

Afraid of Love
I didn't want to keep
this secret to myself,
love him in private
and never ever tell.
I thought, I wished I could
reach out and touch him.
I was so careful with my words
that I said nothing.
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
He smells like chocolate and dirt.
He makes me hungry.
I wanted to stay,
but I left the country.
I want him for dessert.
I wanted to speak up.
BOY/GIRL:
Tell me why you're so afraid of love/ I wanted to stay but I left the country.
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
BOY:
Why did you run away from me?
Why are you so afraid of love?
I wish you would have just told me
BOY/GIRL:
I wish you would have stayed/I wish I could have stayed
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
I didn't want to keep
this secret to myself,
love him in private
and never ever tell.
I thought, I wished I could
reach out and touch him.
I was so careful with my words
that I said nothing.
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
He smells like chocolate and dirt.
He makes me hungry.
I wanted to stay,
but I left the country.
I want him for dessert.
I wanted to speak up.
BOY/GIRL:
Tell me why you're so afraid of love/ I wanted to stay but I left the country.
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
BOY:
Why did you run away from me?
Why are you so afraid of love?
I wish you would have just told me
BOY/GIRL:
I wish you would have stayed/I wish I could have stayed
I always do this:
afraid of love,
always do this:
afraid of love
