Fell For You SOTM #1

two seconds away — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:42:04 +0000

And… we’re back. It was a nice break, but we’ve been itching to make some music. If you forgot or if this is your first time here we’ll be writing, recording, and releasing a new song every month for 2010. We’ll make the songs available the first Monday of every month. After the first month the songs will be available for sale, and at the end of the year we’ll compile them all into an album. If you like what you’re hearing then make sure and check out our store or itunes or amazon as we’ve got some fun songs from our song a week project. So enough yakking…

Did you miss “Fell For You” when we released it in January? No worries… you can buy it here.

This month’s song is called “Fell for You”. Some of the instrumentation used: acoustic guitar, canvas sack, napkin, spray bottle, coins… you get the idea. Hope you like it and we’re really excited to see what comes out of us in 2010. Happy New Music Monday!“Fell For You”

lyrics by Tim Seley

I wouldn’t say that I need you, but I do
I shouldn’t say that I’ve fallen, but I fell for you

I didn’t say what I wanted, but did you?
I couldn’t say what I was feeling, but you knew
The words are hard to come by, but if you
would stay

And the things that I don’t say
Are what’s keeping you away, from me
And the things that stay unspoken
Are the things that make us broken

Are there things that you won’t say to me
Unspoken words
Unspoken things
Are they the same things that I won’t say to you
Unspoken hurts
Unspoken need

I need you
Do you need me?
Do you feel the same as I do
I can’t imagine life without you

I don’t know what we expected when we first started up this song a week thing. Our “side project” to Moving Rushmore quickly became the “main project”. Now 52 songs later here we are. Its been an awesome experience and its really neat to look back over the past year and see/hear the progression of our music. Although there was the occasional mediocre song, for the majority of the time we put out some pretty cool stuff. I know that I can look back with a sense of pride over what we’ve accomplished in the past year.

We’re really grateful to all of you that have told your friends about us, bought our music, blogged about us, came to our shows, and enjoyed our music. Just because we’re done with the song a week doesn’t mean that we’re done making music. You could say that we’ve only just begun…

You’ll especially want to check back next week as we’ve got something special brewing.

If you’ve enjoyed this song a week project and want to keep up with us, this would be a great time to sign up for our e-mail list, follow us on twitter, sign up for our podcast and/or friend us on facebook. We’re still going to be active so if you want to know what we’re up to then those are some good ways to keep in touch.

This song ended up sounding a little like Owl City (check them out if you haven’t already). As I wrote this song I was thinking about a friend of mine who is experiencing a heart wrenching break-up and these are some of the questions he’s asking. I’m reminded that to love deeply puts you at risk of hurting deeply. Is it worth it? What do you think?

Worth the While

Lyrics by Patrick Largen

is this really going to end?
right here and right now?
come hell or high water
you’ll float or you’ll drown

is it worth it

and I wonder all the time
if you’ve had it all figured out
and if all this is something
worth the while

and this is really going to end right now
