Title: I'm Not Sane - Finished
Post by: detune on January 12, 2009, 10:30:51 PM

Composition, Lyrics, Vocals, Guitars, Sequencing, Mix: Mark Lee Fletcher (detune)
Drums: John Wooten (jwoo10)


I'm finally calling this one done, after it sat for ages :).  The mix could be better, but my mixing skills are limited--I'm sure I'll find someone to remix and master this for me at some point.  Thanks to John for his fantastic drums, without which this song could not work.


I'm Not Sane
Copyright 2003 Mark Lee Fletcher
 
I need to breathe
I need to unfold
I need control
If I'm to believe
You know that I need you now
I needed you then
I don't know when
You're gonna come for me
If I could control my mind
 
I'm not sane
Enough to feel
Enough to see, now, any
Enough to know, no no no
I'm not sane
Enough to wait
Enough to stay forever
Enough to go, no no no
I'm not sane, I'm not sane, I'm not sane, sane, sane

I tried to hide
When you were here
Intrinsic fear
Deep from inside
Now that you're gone
You know it's so plain
Now it's only pain
That you left for me
If I can be there in time

[repeat chorus]

[guitar solo]
 
I thought it was real
As long as I dreamed
As far as it seemed
It was close at hand
I have to remain behind
 
[repeat chorus]

Very nice, first two lines had me.  You need to post the lyrics, I always like to read them as I listen.

Well done.

Hi Mark:

I love this song...I love the contrast between the verses and chorus.  If this was one of the songs you were talking about getting done for the MC CD, you better get it nominated, or I will  ;D ;D.

Wonderful, really.

Later...Casia

Steffen, you make me blush :-[ :).  That's a huge compliment coming from a master composer like you.
