Song-A-Week #31 - Keeping Warm

This week's song is just a partial clip - The ending would be monotonous and misleading at this point in the recording process. So I know it ends at a weird spot, but hey - it leaves you wanting more.

Keeping Warm
Copyright 2007 Matthew C Good

We'll be snowed in
all week.
I called my boss, and called my
family.
Me and you, in this frozen
retreat.

Wasn't long before the
power quit.
It had been a while since you were
candle lit.
As the night time air
came in,

We had blankets,
we had peace.
We were keeping warm,
you and me

In that blank white
powder sea,
I was king and
you were queen.
And the simplest things
made our hearts sing.

When we lose our
focus,
We'll have memories
of this.

Thank you, Reason, for giving me piano sounds that actually inspire something other than hatred for my keyboard. I seriously tried to write a couple piano songs before i got Reason working again, using my keyboard's built in sounds... but I just couldn't pretend to be interested in the sounds I was making - so no song. The drone is also a reason patch, albeit ran through my pedals and a guitar amp and a (digital version of a) Plate reverb.

I am ALL ABOUT the plate reverbs these days. LOVE THEM.
