From the recording RIVER
This song feels like water, like a dream in sound. The original framework was actually for a totally different song I started 10 years ago that I never finished. Of course, I was in a totally different space then but the track stayed with me so I decided to revise it a bit and dive in heart first. The concept is so otherworldly just like the song feels. A man discovers his twin flame who seems to good to be true, yet he falls head over heels for her but wonders if she is of this world.
I demoed it with me singing a high part behind my lead on the second verse. I didn't know I could sing that high in my natural. Either a good night or a vocal technique I discovered by accident. LOL. While re-recording it for the album I had a concept for that voice. A woman's voice who who act as the angel that shadows my voice because we are so in tune. Nice right? Called my good friend and long-time singing partner Toni LaNiece to do it and it was perfect because our voices match so well.
I added a bridge to give it a resolve and make it feel a little like a duet and the rest is history.
Lyrics
Verse 1
It's like I finally started breathing on the day I met you
My life hasn't been the same
If ever, there was a reflection of God's perfection
I saw it on the first day you looked my way
My soul was longing to know you baby
My arms were longing to hold you, Oh you
Don't know how you captivated me
So amazing, and I'm floating so high, I don't want to come down
Chorus
Are you an angel with a broken wing
Fell out of heaven and straight to me
How did you find me , How do you know me
You've only existed inside my dreams
Are you just a girl who can read my mind
Ready to break my heart at anytime
I know GOD is lookin' for you, Oh girl how I adore you
Don't ever leave, I need you by my side
Verse 2
This feelin, I've never been here before
Oh Lord, tell me what's happening
Feels Iike I'm, free falling, I'm all in
And I don't think I'll ever love this way again
Your kisses, they feel like ecstasy to me
And the space we're in I don't ever want to leave, can't you see
That the way you hold me
So closely
There's no other place Id' rather be than right here lady
Chorus (same as above)
Bridge
You're like a mirror when I see you
I never knew love could be so true
If I'm dreaming I don't wanna awake
I'd rather stay sleep and feel love this way
So tell me
Chorus (same as above)
