Jax Blog #7 – The Moment You Loved Me

Hello Folks,

Here I am working the Torch Song genre again. But, there's a good catch to this one. I'll be putting a copy of my demo with this so you'll be able to hear what it sounds like. I find writing any lyric is personal. But, with Torch Songs it's even more so. A bit of peeping in a look at the usually protected emotional insides. so here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

The Moment You Loved Me

I never knew my future could be
The wonderful moments you share with me
I never knew all past heartache would flee
Till the moment you loved me
The moment you loved me

I never knew a life lived so bright
Beautiful days and soft tender nights
I never knew how a child feels delight
Till the moment you loved
The moment you loved me

I've been through storms and the deserts of pain
Heartache so raw, how could I love again
Alone as an orphan, what good to complain
Then you came to me... and everything changed

I never knew loves promise to keep
We're now the dream I'd just seen in my sleep
I never knew I could feel so deep
Till the moment you loved me
The moment you loved me

I guess I could say that much of my writing is my own dreams and desires being projected out. 
Like having been in a sad place and trying to work my way out of it. Such is poetry, and music.
I hope this finds you in a better place. And, if you can, take a listen to my demo.

Cheers, 
?✌️
