This week’s song is influenced by the atmospheric Mazzy Star song, “Fade Into You,” which is one of my favorite tunes of all time. I could listen to it over and over again and not get sick of it. For those of you not acquainted with this song, it was minor hit in the early 90s and it’s been on a handful of movies and TV shows since then.
I tried to capture the same atmosphere that “Fade Into You” has by having a similar strumming pattern with the acoustic guitar, the same sort of tambourine part, a fair amount of reverb throughout, and a 6/8 time signature. I used the drum set sound on the keyboard for the kick, snare and cymbal.
Lyrics:
Hello to me, to say I know
To want and dream, your need to fall
For you I die, the tears we cry
I know your face all too well
You never know why we came
You never know what to say
I finally found that I was much more than
I can be alone
To speak and sign
Your heart will try
I wanted nothing but the best for you
I am so in love with you
And I don’t think it will ever pass
I want you so bad but I don’t know what to say
Well I can’t be with you
You never know why we came
You never know what to say
I finally found that I was much more than
I can be alone alone alone
In space you hide, the dark your guide
The pain it brings to end with goodbye
