about

I’m quite proud of the arrangement on this track. There’s a lot of experimentation with lapsteel and melodica through a Leslie organ speaker and that creates a suitably floaty feeling in keeping with the sentiment of the song. Lyrically it’s very much about giddy infatuation and maybe the best attempt I’ve made at an unapologetic love song. Bonus points for anyone who spots the Wilco pun in there.

lyrics

Crossing the river at golden hour
When the match isn’t over and everyone’s elsewhere
So you act like it’s yours alone to discover
You act like it’s never been seen before

Walking towards her, breath getting shorter
She’s entered your character, become its core
In the amber light of an Indian summer
The old town shimmers like you’ve never noticed before…

The orchestra in my heart starts to sing
Drowns out any doubt there could’ve been
The soft, building, drumroll of her gaze
Beats me into believing we’re okay

Pushing you forward, turning the corner
Piggyback, hold-tight, down the quays
Speeding up to hear her scream
Gives a bold new reason to dream

Baby your world play has got me thirsty
Off work early, drunk on Thursday
Pissed and whispering Wilco in the middle of the night
“I’m the Dan who loves you”, alright.

The orchestra in my heart starts to sing
Drowns out any doubt there could’ve been
Her name resonates at a deeper frequency
Stirs me into believing it’s meant to be
