Description:
A song of loss. This one was cowritten. The lyrics were penned by a close friend, Ian Light, when someone he knew passed away. Done using just one mic, one take. I've always felt this song. I hope you do too.

Lyrics:
Why don't you?
Why don't I?
Why don't we touch the sun?
Steal it's fun
You and I can live forever

Daisy said we'd never die
And God I know she'd never lie
What the hell just happened here
You took the one I held so dear

Walk along
Walk away
See if you can hide your pain
Life's a blast
You and I can live forever

You and I can live forever
We can take this world together
No one else has been the same
They've all had houses built on shame

And I can swear I won't be seen
With someone with those eyes so green
I can take or I can give
Forever you and I will live

Daisy said but, Daisy said but Daisy said we'd never die
Daisy's gone but Daisy's gone but Daisy wouldn't ever, ever lie

Beautiful tune.
Do I sense a fellow Jeff Buckley fan?

I'm glad you like it. Yes, Jeff Buckley is one of my all time favorites. His
lovely music has haunted and inspired me for over a decade. Thanks for the
comments.

I never vote &mdash 04/24/05 - 12:44:20 AM
but since you're new here and your talents are so worthy
of a larger audience, I will score it with 8s.
One thing I did notice was when you pronounced the "p"
in "pain" there was a slight bass spike. I know...one take,
but thought I would point it out anyway.
Cheers

moving performance &mdash 04/24/05 - 06:19:09 AM
Great take. You nailed it. I like the mic placement, which
makes the guitar slightly more prominent than the vocal.
The guitar is so intricate & rich. However, when the vocals
take off at then this piece is elevated, literally, to another
level. Such a sad, wonderful song.

Beautiful spare production. &mdash 04/24/05 - 06:21:07 PM
This works so well with just the guitar and your vocals. Nothing else needed. This is really lovely.

Touching &mdash 04/24/05 - 06:47:42 PM
and extremely well done. Perfectly played.

It is obvious &mdash 04/25/05 - 05:18:15 AM
that you felt this and are at one with your guitar. What a wonderful song...so expressive. I hear more of a Dave Matthews influence than Jeff. BTW, it seems we share some common musical favs. I'll be keeping an eye out for your stuff hammhock : )

nice tune &mdash 04/25/05 - 07:10:28 AM
Good going here.
Your voice sounds very soulful.
The guitar sounds good there too.

So the combinations of the guitar and vocal work very
well. The guitar has a nice tone as well.
Very soulful. Nice ending with that strum.

Thanks for sharing

Compelling vocals &mdash 04/25/05 - 08:34:57 AM
Powerful live feel performance, incredibly intimate, clean
and perfectly played. Wonderful vocal variations and
emotion. It all has a fresh, improvisational feel, like a Jeff
Buckley performance. Very well done.

I feel it. &mdash 04/25/05 - 01:43:58 PM
Well done.

Very powerful and painful.

8s!

Great lyrics &mdash 04/25/05 - 04:48:40 PM
Great job. The lyrics really conveyed a sense of sorrow and the vocals and guitar sounded great together. I like how you did that all in one take also. I thought the wailing at the end was a little weird, but other than that the song was great.
