Haus of Glitch

I had sent a beat sample to Beautiful Kitsch over in the grand UK, in hopes that she could write some lyrics to it.  But my hyperactive brain had other plans, and I started writing lyrics to the song.  I’ve revised them a little bit, and now I’m gonna record a scratch vocal for the track and send it to her and see what she thinks, possibly to get her to record vocals for it.

The lyrics could be interpreted a few different ways.  And I thought about that when writing it.  I kept some stuff vague so that it could mean something for everyone.  But for me, this song is about my grandfather, who has Alzheimer’s.  And how no matter what he forgets, he still looks at my grandmother with this pure love in his eyes.  There’s so much that he can’t articulate now.  So I wanted to write a love song from his perspective.  One where love is the only thing you remember.  <3

wake up

don’t know this room

this bed

don’t know who i am

sitting still

afraid to breathe

to be

then you touch my hand

rub my eyes

there’s still a blur

only half in this reality

try to recall

to remember at all

a familiar voice calls to me

chorus

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name

who are you

who am i

who do we want to be

whoever

i must be dead

i must be in heaven

if this is what i see

you’re here with me

chorus

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name

tell me that story

again

tell me that story

i can’t remember the end

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name

well, i must have been dreaming

‘cause now for the first time

for the first time

i feel awake

and my memory is hazey

but i know that i’ll love you

long after i can’t recall my own name
