about

I wrote this song after going to an Imogen Heap concert. I loved her manipulation of sound on stage and how she built up rhythm tracks in successive layers. This song is a lot more poppy than anything I heard that night but uses a few of those techniques.

lyrics

Life is beautiful

Verse 1
Small things make life sweet,
When you sigh into my ear
And send a shiver down my spine I feel complete
Completely out of my control.

Chorus
‘Cause life is beautiful today
I wrote a thousand words to,
Try and fill the void when you’re away.

Verse 2
Frozen smiles in photographs,
We put them in a box to,
Keep against the day when we,
Might need them once a again.

‘Cause life is sweet today. (The journey begins inside)
Life is beautiful today.

Bridge
Can you fly little bird little bird?
On your wings – yes
Smile a little, little bird little bird.

Verse 3
Felt the sun today,
The world was orange through my eyelids,
As I tried to retain,
The memory of your touch

Chorus
Bridge x 3

(Channelling our thoughts is a chain reaction that
Wakes our hopes from a dreaming atom.
Dry and dusty physicists agree – energy is force that springs from action.)
