Written in April 2022 in response to the songwriting challenge to use the chord progression Em - Am - C - B. The riff used a technique I had learned on another song, and the lyrics were an attempt to make the end of the last line in verses 2 and 3 become the beginning of the first line in the chorus - in a venn diagram sense. On this recording, I played all instruments except piano, drums and horns, which were all generated in Band In A Box. I first recorded it a couple of years ago and came back in December 2024 to add more vocal layers and supply the bass guitar.

LYRICS

INTRO/RIFF

VERSE 1
Some times, it’s great to be heading somewhere
A sense I exist just ‘there’
It’s a wonderful state to be in my dear
Like I’m living without a care

RIFF

VERSE 2
At other times my memory starts to linger
I’m a wizened cultural thinker
But I’m growing reluctant to ring her
Just in case she’s still doing her …

CHORUS
Hair … it’s flowing down to me, like the Zambezi to the sea
Her mind can touch the moon, like water reflects her mood

RIFF

VERSE 3
Often times I’m slipping into despair
Like tactical nuclear warfare
But you reach down and pull me up for air, and I look deep into her …

CHORUS
Eyes scream … so many different flavours, it’s a shame not to try them all …
Of me and all of you, but I’m wondering how her…

Hair … it’s flowing down to me, like the Zambezi to the sea
Her mind can touch the moon, like water reflects her …

Eyes have so many different shades, it’s a wonder to see them all
Of me and all of you, but I’m wondering if it’s too soon.

RIFF
