GUYS. My spouse Sarah and I
finally figured out how to write a song together!
There’s actually only one other person
I’ve been able to write a full song with,
my friend Zack who used to play bass for me
back when we lived in North Carolina.
He lives in China now so
kinda hard to collaborate that far apart.
But you would think that writing a song
with my own spouse
would have happened by now lol
after being married for 12 years now and all, ha.
On other songs she has sung on
she allowed me to write everything for her to sing..
But this time we challenged ourselves
to write one together.
Ironically it’s all about how we’ve struggled
together as a couple
to learn how to get on the “same page”
and better our communication etc.
Writing this song has actually been
a great exercise together as a couple
to strengthen those communication abilities.
That’s why the song so far is called “Same Page”,
due to a lyric line from the first verse which says,
“Does it even matter that you and I are never on the same page?”
We might change the title to “Take Control” though
due to a chorus line that reads:
“I love it when you take control”
It’s very much a back-and-forth sung duet
and we LOVE it.
It’s also a lot more poppy than
the rest of the album has been so far.
It’s my opinion though that every good record
needs a solid poppy song though
so that’s the hope with this one
to lighten up a little bit of the heaviness
that is going on in the album already.
Anyway, I’m off to go create
the Songs-In-Progress page for it now!
