Description
For Katherine.
I was listening to Jailbird by Fairy Beth and really digging the simplicity and honesty of it.
I gave myself two hours to record and submit this song. If I hadn't, it would have been a long time before I'd have a new song ready for MacJams.
So here it is. Just me and my guitar. This is how most of my songs come about and remain...

Lyrics
I think you know how I feel
Whether I tell you or not
Your silent voice is beautiful
And it makes everything I’ve got
Pale into insignificance
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
I’m in my house now but I feel
Lost a thousand miles from home
You’ve let yourself into a place
That I didn’t know I owned
Well can you let me in with you
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
I’d never seen it
But I see it now
I’d never felt it
But I feel it now
There’s so much I need to say
But it won’t translate into words
And all day every single day
I think about you until it hurts
But I will take the pain for you
Yeh I will take the pain
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
The music’s all around
And it speaks to me I’m sure
And everything’s more beautiful
Than it ever was before
I want to be with you
And begin the life I’m dying for
Whether I tell you or not
Your silent voice is beautiful
And it makes everything I’ve got
Pale into insignificance
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
I’m in my house now but I feel
Lost a thousand miles from home
You’ve let yourself into a place
That I didn’t know I owned
Well can you let me in with you
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
I’d never seen it
But I see it now
I’d never felt it
But I feel it now
There’s so much I need to say
But it won’t translate into words
And all day every single day
I think about you until it hurts
But I will take the pain for you
Yeh I will take the pain
The music’s in the mail
And I forget where I am
I look up at the stars and I
I’m upside down again
I want to share with you
The cleanest air I’ve ever breathed
The music’s all around
And it speaks to me I’m sure
And everything’s more beautiful
Than it ever was before
I want to be with you
And begin the life I’m dying for

So maybe this trend will take hold, just simple recordings of people with their guitars. But this shows off your spot-on singing and compostitional talent. Great song, well recorded, well performed. I liked the harmony in the bridge and would have liked a reprise of the bridge at the end. But I'm glad you didn't over-think this, it's fresh!
