A dark synthesized track with a hopeful chorus section. A strong use of melody, harmony and rhythm add complexity to a minimal track, which originally included vocals, written, recorded and sung by myself. 100 bpm, C minor.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1 P1)

Across the table I start to stare,

This feeling inside me it’s so hard to bear,

People around me seem so untrue,

But all I know is that I want you.

(Verse 1 P2)

Do I drop everything and leave?

Should I stay for those that grieve?

This feeling inside me, it feels so wrong,

But now they’re playing your favourite song.

(Chorus 1)

Whilst I hold you in my arms,

This feeling inside me, it just calms,

When I see tears build in those eyes,

I know I’ve broken your guise.

(Verse 2 P1)

The old ones they sit, their eyes glazed,

The young ones they smile, so amazed,

The couples around us are oblivious,

Knowing this feeling, it’s contagious.

(Verse 2 P2)

The song it ends and the silence creeps in,

The father just stands and downs his gin,

The mother she mutters and calls him a snob,

The music begins and she starts to sob.

(Chorus 2)

Whilst I hold you in my arms,

This feeling inside me, it just calms,

When I see tears build in those eyes,

I know I’ve broken your guise.

(Verse 3, ending)

I’ve seen this happen times before,

No one will ever ask for more,

You look at me and tell me you miss her,

Knowing that she was your sister.
