tony333 7 Posted July 9, 2019 Wrote and roughly recorded this while on vacation. Ever Been VI If I said I love you In a thousand different ways Or lassoed The truth Just for you to give away If I climbed Highest hills And I parted all the seas If I gathered The stars Tell me then would you believe Tell me then Tell me then Would you believe VII If I swayed The moon Into giving tides freewill And suspended All of time Making all the clocks stand still If I talked The sky Into only setting suns Little darling You would know You've ever been the only one Youve ever been You've ever been The only one VIII if I persuaded Gravity Into simply letting go Or whispered To the wind Convincing it to never blow If I talked The sky Into only setting suns Little darlin You would know You've ever been the only one You've ever been You've ever been The only one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idunno 882 Posted August 27, 2019 Actually, I'm not connecting the undoing of natural things with a display or love. I would connect it with an unnatural force messing around with nature but that's where it stops. Now, should you write about undoing all those natural things as deeds to prove love, then it has to be connected in a manner that we understand and not a reach. In Scarborough Fair, the lyrics "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt. Without no seams or needle work. Then she'll be a true love of mine." is similar to your flow of impossible deeds so I'm guessing there's some influence there. But, even that song doesn't jump right out and elicit love. Who needs someone to perform impossible deeds as a show of love? That's counter intuitive. If anything, I see it as a way to ensure that love does not develop. It's like saying I'll love you when monkeys fly out of your butt. Like I said, love needs to be connected to deeds one would associate with enticing it. I do like the minimized lyric style, though, and try to use it when I can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony333 7 Posted August 28, 2019 So what I was trying to convey was from the perspective of someone who has shown their love and the person still questions that fact. And that if they were able to do these things, would that person then believe that the love was true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
