Description
I wrote this song while on holiday in Florida, sat by the pool on a perfect evening
while seemingly never-ending shooting stars flew over my head.
It's about the feeling that without a loved one you'd fall apart. About needing their
love and support in order to survive and being so thankful that they're there for you.
while seemingly never-ending shooting stars flew over my head.

Lyrics
My thoughts become a whisper, I cried for you.
So don't leave me dyin' here, I'm begging you to stay with me and strengthen me.
To keep me on the straight and narrow.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by.
I'll throw another wish at you, it's the least I can do.
It's just another ill-thought theory, I hold onto.
That keeps me waiting here, oblivious to the sea that's drowning me.
Pulling me from the straight and narrow.
They say with a shooting star you're wish comes true.
It's not easy to know if that's true if you don't see it too.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by. C
I'll throw another wish at you, while the light fades from my view.
I know as I face the heavens, I'd die for you.
So don't let me give up trying, I'm begining to receive the strength I need.
To keep me on the straight and narrow.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by.
I'll throw another wish at you, I hope you catch one soon.
So don't leave me dyin' here, I'm begging you to stay with me and strengthen me.
To keep me on the straight and narrow.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by.
I'll throw another wish at you, it's the least I can do.
It's just another ill-thought theory, I hold onto.
That keeps me waiting here, oblivious to the sea that's drowning me.
Pulling me from the straight and narrow.
They say with a shooting star you're wish comes true.
It's not easy to know if that's true if you don't see it too.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by. C
I'll throw another wish at you, while the light fades from my view.
I know as I face the heavens, I'd die for you.
So don't let me give up trying, I'm begining to receive the strength I need.
To keep me on the straight and narrow.
You're leaving me, wishing on a shooting star again.
Make me feel like this is all I'll ever have to hold on to.
On my back facing the sky, let the whole damn evening pass me by.
I'll throw another wish at you, I hope you catch one soon.

Great use of solo strings; brings out the sense of
melancholy well, and I love the tail at the very end. Cool
drum groove. Wonderful harmonies, vocal layering are a
real highlight; altho timing and sometimes pitch could use
some tightening. The high mandolin type guitar colors
are also a cool idea, but maybe need to be tighter, more
integrated. The song is so dense, it could also use a place
to breathe, some place where the rhythm guitar pauses, to
help me know what to listen to, which lyrics are most
important, like when you highlight "I'll die for you" with
your use of harmony punches, which is great moment.
Such an easy feel, the whole arrangement lulls and sways.
A very solid song and nice guitar layering.
