Your Hand In Mine (a work in progress)

[ionno]

Your Hand In Mine

Indie Folk

 

Broken and torn

That’s what we are

Each time we talk

A battlefield

A warzone

Ground zero for the

Dropped atomic bomb

 

Wastelands dominate the spaces

Between our thoughts

Nothing can make it through

Alive

 

We mistreat each other

I know someone else would love me better

But for some strange reason

All I want is

Your hand

In mine

 

 

 

After about 5 minutes of brainstorming, this is what I have come up with so far. It fits into an album I've been writing about a failing relationship that is strained by the unexpected addition of a child to the family. When I first thought of the concept, I had been listening heavily to Tallahassee by The Mountain Goats and somewhat mirrors it in a way, I guess.

 

Also, there isn't any real melody or tune to the song yet, so that's why there's no real discernible structure in certain cases, the last lines are most likely going to form the chorus. I just felt somewhat proud of myself because the beginnings of it turned out better than expected.
