OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 6 - Special Delivery

in #openmic • 6 years ago (edited)

I'm SO bummed! I thought the deadline was Friday, didn't realize it was Monday. I thought I was early, but it turns out I've missed it 😒

On the other hand... I'm proud of myself for coming up with a song using "special delivery"... at first I didn't think I could do it, extra special thanks to @chrisroberts and @jaybird for inspiration 😊

SPECIAL DELIVERY

There's a message I wish I could send you
But I don't know the words
We did the right thing
By breaking
Apart
But my heart will always be yours

The last thing I want is to confuse you
By telling you the truth
That it messes with my head
To be in bed
With her
Thinking of you

If only I could let you know
You're with me wherever I go
You're with me whatever I do
That having you in my arms
Was the best thing
It changed everything
And I will never stop loving you

We did the right thing
We did the right thing
It's true

But I wish I could let you know
You're with me wherever I go
You're with me whatever I do
That having you in my arms
Was the best thing
It changed everything
And I will never stop loving you

So If I could I'd send you this message
Special delivery
Directly to your heart
Bypassing thought
So you could see you
The way I see

If only I could let you know
You're with me wherever I go
You're with me whatever I do
That having you in my arms
Was the best thing
It changed everything
And I will never stop loving you

We did the right thing
We did the right thing
It's true

Right on Man, pulled this tune off well. T'was a particularly difficult theme i thought to write something more serious while saying "special delivery" lol.

I mean I never even said those two words back to back in my tune.

Love the guitaring in this too, played some of those sweet chords up the neck that i like!

Cool voice btw.

lolo yeah such a cheesy phrase to try and write a song from 😅 I didn't expect to use the actual words in my song either, and then... there they were. Many thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it. Watching your entry and @chrisroberts inspired me to try it out, so thanks for that too :)
