Back in the orange room for OpenMic week 56.
This week I am contributing another original song to the mix, "Saturn". I haven't really picked up my guitar in a couple weeks, so I am a tad bit rusty - but I more so want people to listen to the vocals anyways ;) I wrote this one almost ten years ago about a guy, and this guy drove a Saturn. For lack of anything better to title it.. it worked.
It's still one of my favorite originals I wrote, and my mom LOVES it.. though she's biased. I hope you like it just as much.
Good luck OpenMic friends!
His hair is dark, just like the night
I saw him standing there, he made me feel alright.
His heart is big with room for love
but always falls apart when pushes come to shove.
His body's young, but soul is old
I thought I heard him say his love was bought and sold.
He sings a song that sets him free now,
he said these days that song reminds him of me.
Saturn's all around me
it's shadow now surrounds me
It's taking over me
Saturn came and found me
it tries so hard to ground me
I wish it'd set me free
Each day I think about the next
and why it's gotta be so damn complex.
Just when I start to walk away,
I turn around to find that Saturn's here to stay.
Saturn's all around me
it's shadow now surrounds me
It's taking over me
Saturn came and found me
it tries so hard to ground me
I wish it'd set me free
As Saturn show's it's face to me
at first it's like I cannot breathe
But then I know he still loves me
I try so hard to make it right
even though I know I'll never win this fight.
Sometimes I hate to be alone
but any other way I never would have grown.
Saturn's all around me
it's shadow now surrounds me
It's taking over me
Saturn came and found me
it tries so hard to ground me
I wish it'd set me free
