I
wrote this song 13 years ago. It’s a darker
song. I don’t really have much to say
about it, but I hope you like it. (Maybe
you’ll recognize the circle-of-fifths sequence in the chorus section . . . who
knows, whatever!)

Title: “Nothing’s
What It Seems”
Written April 2000
Lyrics:
Driving down the highway
It’s a hundred and six degrees
Looks like water on the asphalt
But nothing’s what it seems
Two men walking side by side
Reserved and speaking low
Exchanging knowing looks
But nothing’s what it seems
Nothing’s what it seems to be
That’s life’s mystery
Thinking we travel so very far
But in circles traveling are we
Got married on a sunny day
Honeymoon in Missouri
We never argued but never laughed
Oh nothing’s what it seems
Nothing’s what it seems to be
That’s life’s mystery
Thinking we travel so very far
But in circles traveling are we
Sliver of light in the sky at night
Masked by clouds
But really it’s a full round moon
Nothing’s what it seems
Nothing’s what it seems to be
That’s life’s mystery
Thinking we travel so very far
But in circles traveling are we
I'm not sure what this says about me, but I favor your "darker" songs. Maybe it's because for myself, when I write from a darker place, there's something more raw and honest about it... or one is afraid to show that side? I don't know... whatever... but your song was cool and awesome regardless. Oh and I know nothing about the circle of fifths sequences or whatever that was... ha because I'm no music guru.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so very familiar to me, and I really enjoy it. I like your lyrics as much as the composition.
