Sunrise, sunset (bossa) - 3tdoan

NiftyFinety.com: All 50/90 Demos

This was from a prompt as well, sunrise/sunset - GYAWS I think? Very original title as you can see. I wasted lotsa time trying to figure out bossa nova percussion, and in the end went with solo guitar. This is my 3/4 sized crapbox but I do love the warm sound of nylon. As for the song subject, the idea of it is a dreamy narrator who falls in love with a stranger at first sight at a party, and imagines a whole life with this person. And then is brought crashing back to reality. One strange thing I’ve found in this songwriting experiment is that my mental default is a male narrator. Deliberately I’ve tried to make this one gender neutral. You brush by and catch my eye Don’t even hope I stand a chance Til you smile, sad and shy The thrill makes my heart dance Other voices turn to noise Under the rhythm of your feet As you move across the room My every fibre feels your heat Chorus There’ll be another sunrise, sunset There's no point in having regrets There’ll be another sunrise, sunset Another day In a flash I can see our life I can feel us swaying skin to skin I can see you waking by my side I can hear fireworks and violins I can breathe the summer in your hair I can taste the salt from your lips to mine Hold you when the sunset chills the air Like fingertips on my spine Chorus With a crash the moment is broken A falling glass shatters my dream All these words are left unspoken Our life as one will never be You brushed by and caught my eye A stranger with enticing charms Your smile was hello goodbye As you slip away in other arms Chorus Maybe one day There’ll be other days
