Welcome, you are listening to Evey Song. A series where I play songs I’ve written throughout the years and share the stories behind them.
This is a song I wrote to manifest better love in my life. Wait, I hate that word “manifest”. It sounds so woo-woo.
Basically, this is a song I wrote after my horribly horrendous first relationship ended, which went on for 6 or so years. I wrote this as I imagined a new, better love coming into my life. One that won’t betray, deceive, abandon, or harm me in any way. And, lo and behold, the next three relationships I have been in after that first one with Satan himself, have been gorgeously gentle, supportive, mutually nurturing relationships with these great guys.
Writing this song was almost like a promise to myself to only to accept the kind of love and partnership that is focused on healthy companionship and uplifting each other. And that is what my other three relationships after my first one has been like. To my surprise, a constantly tumultuous relationship was NOT the norm and I slowly learnt that it’s not something that should be kept normalised.
Musically, melodically it is inspired by Jessie Ware’s Say You Love Me. Almost like a cover but not really.
This is a song called Dawn is Breaking. I wrote it on the 2nd of January 2018.
180102 Dawn is Breaking
The moon is meltingOver the seaUnder such comedyIs where we’ll meetTime goes slowlyAs lovers loveFinding diamondsIn the rough
Calm and clearlyThe calling will beCrumbling completelyCarelesslyDawn is breakingSo is sheHe was made for herAnd her for he
As the shadowsLay on the groundThere on my skinYou are foundSpirit to spiritSoul to soulI will take theeTo have and to hold
Dawn is breakingSo am ITell me that I’m yoursAnd you are mine
Thank you for listening to episode 51 of Every Song. Until next time.
