Oblivious SOTW #50
September 6, 2009 | Song of the Week
Well here we are #50! Pretty crazy! We only have 2 more songs to go before we have done this song a week thing for a whole stinkin’ year! We’re pretty stoked. We set out to do this for 6 months but kept going.
Tim sent over the keyboard and rhythm tracks and I went to work Saturday putting words and a melody to it. It was a lot of fun to write lyrically. What do you think it’s about?
PS Today is the last day to try to win a free Tee.
“Oblivious”
lyrics by Patrick Largen
The morning is gone
But I have not moved on
And if all this is important to you
I will bring you a song
I wrote before the dawn
When all were oblivious to
Like a whisper in the ear
your reflection in the mirror
your presence is over due
The words hit like a drum
Like a wave the melody comes
All happening on cue
Black notes on a page
With ink you can’t erase
The chorus is painted blue
The evening has come
And taken the son
We all were oblivious too

perfect! just perfect
Odd, the notes are black on the pages I have too, but the chorus is red.
Quite liked the song, of course.
But red doesn’t rhyme!!!
This is a really great song, guys! My ears couldn’t get enough of it–really nice, clean sounds, clever “drum”, not too much, not to little. Awesome.
