Every Love Song I Ever Wrote
I've been away for a while, traveling in Europe, catching up with family and friends, some from many years ago. This simple little song was going around in my head, and I decided to have a stab at recording it when I got back.
Listen at my website: Every Love Song I Ever Wrote – Gavin and the Mysterious Beings
You can also listen at SoundCloud, although for some reason it sounds better to me on the website 🤔: https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousbeings/every-love-song-i-ever-wrote/s-WIzabP19ceY?
EVERY LOVE SONG I EVER WROTE
(Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair)
How many years since I saw you
You smile as I reach for your hand
I look into your eyes and to my great surprise
In that moment, I understand
That every love song I ever wrote
Every word that my heart sang to every note
What a brilliant disguise, I didn't realize
They were all about you
Two hearts and promises broken
Lives that we let slip away
Words that should have been spoken
Now, all I can think of to say
Is every love song I ever wrote
Every word that my heart sang to every note
What a brilliant disguise, I didn't realize
Of course, they were all about you
(Instrumental break)
Every love song I ever wrote
Every word that my heart sang to every note
What a brilliant disguise, I didn't realize
Of course, they were all about you

@OnlyGavin - catchy melody, flows along.. takes me back to the variety shows from the late 60's early 70's :).

This is a pretty one.
Some lovely lines there like:
Two hearts and promises broken
Lives that we let slip away
I hope you won't mind me saying, but this seems such an english love song: restrained, modest, quiet, but still heartfelt. Almost surprised to recognize itself.
Enjoyed my listen!

Thanks for listening @bhengen and @Cove .
@RainyDayMan you hit the nail on the head. I sure as heck ain't English (we fought wars about that LOL), but yes, it's a very British song in the way you describe it - we don't like to make a fuss about our emotions - and the lady who inspired it does happen to be English. So, I don't mind you saying that at all 🙂. "Almost surprised to recognize itself" is kind of the essence of the song.

Your website worked very well on my poor internet connection. (SoundCloud is nothing but trouble for me these days). Great back story on the song. Of course I had to listen to Serial Killer as well. You are a genius!

Thanks @HummerWisdom. Glad that you enjoyed it. I've been called a genius and regal in the space of 24 hours. My head will get so big that my crown won't fit. 😄

An honest love song. Nothing wrong with that for me. Lovely arrangement and a heartfelt vocal. Very memorable too. I've been out of circulation lately as well, so it's nice to return and catch this one. Great stuff.

Lovely all the way through - lyrics, vocal and fine guitar. Especially like the lead-in 1st verse.

Great song Gavin, particularly like the anecdote on the website to support the piece.
A pleasant song with a good storyline, exceptional delivery, well positioned pauses work well.
Nice use of in-line rhymes were a standout I like a lot.
Altogether a piece to be proud of.
Enjoyed it very much.
Thank you,
Sid

@sidshovel Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the song and the back story.
@ElvisNash Thanks. Simple productions are about all I can manage LOL. I suppose it makes a change to all the shiny AI productions.
