love story in reverse (mp3)

Lyrics

lest our hearts unwind
and our stars misalign
and the rise of love in our hearts decline
as we part unaquatinted in time
let not our lovely love story run its course and rewind
and rewind

Songwriter Notes

more fun with modulation. i wrote the chords around 7pm tonight when i finished work. i was still messing around with modulating between Aminor/Cmajor and Cminor/Eflat major. For the words I did a little free writing and eventually hit on the word decline, then stars misalign, then the idea for a love story in reverse. once i had that in mind the words came pretty quickly. this performance is pretty shaky, but its late and i feel bad playing the song anymore tonight.
