When love gets left behind

(Christopher Van Name)

When lovers argue, they lose precious time. When it gets hurtful, they leave love behind.

We talk all night and disagree
Frustration clouds our minds
We let our passion steal the moment
While our hearts turn cold and blind

Hurtful words and bruised emotions
Simmer as the fire burns 
Our wounded egos fuel the fervor 
Past the point of no return 

Tempers flash and boil over 
Aspersions cross the line 
Fear and anger consume all reason 
When love gets left behind 

And as we tear ourselves apart 
Our words betray what’s in our hearts 
This isn’t who we are
How did we let it go this far?
Why does it have to be so hard?

The fire dies but it’s too late 
To take back all we’ve said 
The embers smolder through the night 
And rekindle our regret 

And though we’ve torn ourselves apart
Our love reveals what’s in our hearts 
This isn’t who we really are 
It never should have gone this far 
It doesn’t have to be this hard 
It doesn’t have to be this hard 

Faithful hearts decline 
When love gets left behind

Right Here for Right Now

By Brian Hendrix

I didn't have much of anything deep or meaningful in mind when I wrote this. It's a love song, particularly about heartbreak, and I just wanted to try a new take on it and try to make a catchy love song that was a little deeper than the initial words on the page.

Thymian ist kein Tee

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): Es ist wie es ist und nicht anders, auch wenn die Relaität nicht immer direkt klar ersichtlich ist. Verunsicherung in den Versen & klare Realität im Refrain. Atmosphere: auf angeschnittene Weise politisch & kritisch, aufklärend im Chorus, evtl. heiter im Chorus, Catchiger Chorus, grundsätzlich habe ich auch im Verse eher Heiterkeit im Kopf... kann aber verschieden interpretiert werden. Genre/Style I was thinking of: Indi-Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Alternative Artist(s) I was thinking of: Kraftklub, Von Wegen Lisbeth, Bilderbuch, Kawa Kawa,... Comments: Typische Pop-Struktur. Pre-Chorus statt Bridge. Die Pfeife im Chorus ist eine Anspielung auf René Margrites' Kunstwerk: "Ceci n'est pas ue pipe". Viel Spaß beim Performen!
