Longing

partially inspired by beatlsFan64 song and listening to the platters, I wrote this.

[Verse 1]

The creaking sound of my rocking chair.

And the smell of fresh coffee fills the air.

I sit, here watching the families at play.

On this warm, breezy, summer's day.


[Pre-Chorus]

Like flickerin old movies, are memories of old

In the melting hands of time, fond stories are told


[Chorus]

Into the void I'm free falling (I'm falling, I'm falling)

As heavenly voices are calling (keep calling, keep calling)

And the lemon yellows turn to shades of purple hues

I long for the day when i can be with all of you


[Verse 2]

The smell of freshly cut grass, invades my senses

From a time when we played freely, without fences

Wrapped in blankets of snow in winter season

Fondly remembering a time spent without reason


[Pre-Chorus]

Like flickerin old movies, are memories of old

In the melting hands of time, fond stories are told


[Chorus]

Into the void I'm free falling (I'm falling, I'm falling)

As heavenly voices are calling (keep calling, keep calling)

And the lemon yellows turn to shades of purple hues

I keep longing for the day when i can be with all of you


[Outro]

In stillness, the rocking chair creaks no longer

And the smell of stale coffee becomes stronger

On clouds of radiant glow, my family and I play

In the warmth of heaven's glory, forever days


[Chorus]

Into the void I've free fallen (I've fallen, I've fallen)

As heavenly voices no longer call (no longer call, no longer call)

The shades of purple hues now turned to shades of pure white

The day is now, when I can be with all of you

    On this occasion Bill, it feels like a mismatch between the music and the tone of the lyrics.

    Taken separately, each is good, but together in my opinion, it's not working.

    The title and focus "longing" would seem to dictate a more sombre tempo to capture the mood of the words.

    To keep the music, clearly some change in the lyrics is needed. Maybe build around the theme of something like "heavenly Joy".

  • @sidshovel - I agree... i struggled with the title.. I had evening poem.. I think i'll drop the music and go towards more something more introspective and somber

    By the way, the actual music/vocals you got off Suno were really good for the genre, vocals, backing singers, harmony, brilliant!

    You have a knack for that app.
