I finally completed the final edit of my original song “Apology Negated”. It’s pure pop from my perspective – I’d had the piano melody in my head for over a year. I’m not sure why it took me such a long time to complete this particular song, but I suppose everything is for a reason. I already created some footage for a music video to with it which I’ll put together hopefully tonight or tomorrow.
What’s really cool about this particular song, is that it’s not just music – it’s an actual painting I created (in the background of the photograph for this track you can see it behind me).
Lyrics:
You inspired my painting
after our date that Friday night.
By the time I finished the piece
you’d exited out my life.
No need to say you’re sorry to me.
I know your promises didn’t mean a thing.
Your texts negated your actions,
a fling for me was just fine.
(spoken word)
Sometimes it’s just like that, don’t feel bad, just a short hookup
after an online chat.
That’s how dating has become today – and I hate to say,
just like a paper cup – use you once then throw you away…
In my 20’s and my 30’s might have been devastating – but now I’m entering my 40’s
it’s a form of exercising…
Just jump on your motorbike and ride away
Believe me, it won’t affect me – it’s all really quite OK.
You inspired my painting
after our date that Friday night.
By the time I finished the piece
you’d exited out my life.
No need to feel bad or say you’re sorry…
Actions hold more weight than words for me.
Please don’t feel obligated to be kind – I’ll be just fine.
(bridge)
I know you hate it – but your apology negated…
You want to seem like a good guy but I know the good ones from the flakes,
at this point in my life.
No I don’t hate you – I just don’t care.
At this phase in my life you’ve got to understand, when it comes to this kind of thing – I out think a man.
(last verse)
You inspired my painting
after our date that Friday night.
By the time I finished the piece
you’d exited out my mind.
No need to feel bad or say you’re sorry.
Actions hold more weight than words for me.
Please don’t feel obligated to be kind I’ll be just fine…
You inspired my paintings.
