Don't Go

This song sprung out of nowhere when I was messing around with Garageband. The spontaneity probably accounts for the generic pop song feel, but personally I'm just really proud of the thing. Sure, it's wide-ranging, it could mean a lot of things, but isn't that was a good pop song's about?

Besides, this is the first song I actually physically demoed, so I can post a link. I think that this sound is slightly where All These Lost Pictures is going, but is also a bit of a step in what'll be my writings over the next year. Meaningful and special, but with this infectious pop vibe. I'll just have to see. In the meantime, we could consider this a bit of a hidden track, despite its five minutes running time.

I guess the story behind "Don't Go" is simply that I wrote the song while thinking about every girl I've ever loved, and the song chronicles the attraction, the flirtatious stage as well as that lingering thought of never wanting her to leave. It's generic, it's pop, and while the demo doesn't sound great right now, at least it's something, right?

Don't Go (Also known as Oh Dear, Silly Bear (Don't You Think There's Something There?))

And I will fall for you
Just one more time.
Just one more time.
Dear God, pull me through
Just one last time.
Just one last time.

And you’ve got me spinning
Round and round
And round and round again.
Yeah, you've got me spinning.

And oh, oh, oh,
What’ve you got to say to that?
Oh, oh, oh,
There’s something in the wind tonight.
And oh, oh, oh,
I can't live without you now
So please don’t go.
So please don’t go.

Sitting here bathed in starlight,
There's something special about how
I’m thinking of you tonight.
Tell the rain who cares
Because it's only more romantic:
Just the two of us,
Just the two of us.

There’s something in here
I know it’s true
So don't lie to me, oh,
Don't lie to me, oh.

And oh, oh, oh,
What’ve you got to say to that?
Oh, oh, oh,
There’s something in the wind tonight.
And oh, oh, oh,
I can't live without you now
So please don’t go.
So please don’t go.

There’s something I’ve gotta say to you
But I don’t know how.
In this mess you pull me through,
So thank you for that.

And oh, oh, oh,
What’ve you got to say to that?
Oh, oh, oh,
There’s something in the wind tonight.
And oh, oh, oh,
I can't live without you now
So please don’t go.
So please don’t go.
