about
A song of semi-unrequited possible love.
lyrics
There's something about your eyes, locked curious on mine-
something rich and piercing, something sweetly held in time.
It makes me want to cry.
Makes me want to smile.
Makes me want to take you home and lay with you a while-
just for a while, and not a minute more.
Just enough to sweetly hold the truth that sends me out the door.
There's something about your touch, unexpected and sincere,
that makes me want to travel somewhere far away from here-
perhaps to run away,
or run toward to stay,
perhaps to find a reason to keep going every day-
as if traveling can tell us what we're here for,
or at least enough to sweetly hold the truth behind what we adore.
There's something about your voice and the way you say my name
that keeps me locked in questions wishing this was all a game-
one with a winner and a loser,
a beginning and an end,
and something simple separating lovers from sweet friends-
but I'll let it go, and watch you walk away,
and, listening, sweetly hold the truth in all the things you say.

Compelling stories that are well written, not to mention beautifully sung, accompanied by beautiful instrumentation. I found Aaron J. Shay's music under a strange set of circumstances and was instantly fascinated by it, this album contains some of my favorite songs by him. Hyphonetics

Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
