just a heads up... i really can't sing jazz. i'm currently looking for someone who can sing this song more decent than i ever could (hehe, sorry) so please bear with my singing in the mean time...
i made this song for Buena Carla Zaldivia, i owed her a song since way back in college and she specifically requested it to be a lounge jazz type. i love jazz! almost everything i do is influenced by jazz, i just can't sing it -_- did the music first, i came up with the lyrics 3 days after the music. haha, the lyrics.
well just let me know what you think of it ^_^
X-ray Ears and Echoed Shivers
yeah interesting title huh^_^
(1)
you make thorns on roses
so beautiful
you make butterfliy kisses
sound so pitiful
you make my pencils
and erasers
taste so good
even if i really don't think that they should
maybe i have x-ray ears today
coz the words you say
seem to be wearing lingere
but its funny how nobody
could see the same way
or maybe you just drugged me
up until today
its driving me crazy
everytime i feel
your poetry
(chorus)
and i know i havnt seen you for
quite awhile
but your words have always
traveled a thousand miles
makin me feel a light breeze in my ear
that gives me echoed shivers all year
(2)
you make my english teacher
seem like a bum
you make all these common metaphors
like a bottle of rhum
and you talk about the rain
like a sensual shower
that lingers in my mind
for over an hour
yes, maybe i have x-ray ears today
coz every single word you say
is wearing lingere
but its funny how nobody
could see the same way
or maybe i've just fallen
after all these days
i know it sound cheesy
but its driving me crazy
all the way
(chorus 2)
and i know we havn't seen each other for
quite awhile
but your words have always
traveled a thousand miles
makin me feel that light breeze in my ear
that gives me echoed shivers all year
yes, i know that you know that i always love the part
when its its so automatic
when you use your magical
words to melt my heart
just click PLAY to listen to it

 | All the while I thought our Wittgensteinian talk was just about skimpy clothes covering my slightest sense of decency. Haha. And now we are wearing lingerie. ^_^
Thank you, Dear. Our poetry has always been both mundane and esoteric. I guess the song talks about both. Is "Echoed Shivers" mine or yours? ^_^
