A song inspired by my friend's experience... You know that relationship which is a patch for the hole in your heart after you break up and you find a quick substitute ... except for that substitute, you mean so much more than the substitute means to you...

I hereby give you

LIFETIME LOVER

On the way to nowhere
With your hand in mine
Sitting in the car, driving downtown
You said "Let's have a word,
There's things that I can hide no more
The past won't let me go
Believe me, I've tried hard."

Over the past few months
I've sensed this is no paradise
I was a patch for the hole in your heart
Seems like the time has stopped
With red lights cutting through the dark
And rain and tears touch me
As you scream behind

“I don't wanna break your heart
But there's another
She's been with me since the cradle
My lifetime lover,
The nights are long and I've been longing
To be back in the arms
That are still waiting for me."

So you expect me now
To smile and hide the pain that kills
Well, I might just do it
And love will take me right through it
And when you're happy
Think of our good times, up times,
All the thrills
And when you're sad just know
That's how I feel today

‘Cause I don’t wanna wait in vain
if there's another
She's been with you since the cradle
your lifetime lover
The nights are long and I've been longing
To be in the arms
That will be waiting for me

The holiness of the real Is always there, accessible In total immanence. The nodes Of transcendence coagulate In you, the experiencer, And in the other, the lover.

Love the groove. The telephone voice near the end is a nice quirky touch too.

Thanks, Kim! I had imagined that part of the song as a phone conversation to begin with, so the recording just followed my initial intention :)

Another classy track, love the powerful chorus, just perfect and great vocals, this is right up there for me. Lovely stuff.

Thanks, @kryptoe! Yes, the song is on the heavier side... though I’m not a rocker but I like a bit of distortion here and there :)

Great post! I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Good

I dig this a lot!! Do you perform all instrumentation? It all sounds really good. Very cool mellow vibe, with a bit of funk and rock. Keep it up!

Hey @falseyedols! Thanks! I produced the track so basically I told the musicians what to play. Had a pretty clear vision for this one. I typically play the keys (piano) and preproduce the track in my studio and then call live musicians to replace what’s needed or add to what is a keeper. And I love to work with the top of the bill players. They take everything to the next level ;)

Very cool. It definitely came out very clean :)
