The storm it keeps me up tonight
The thunder thrashes any peace
A clouded mind I’m thinking through
Sometimes it’s hard to see the truth
The hero always finds a way
To save the world and get the girl
But I’m a man who’s lost this fight
There’s no hero here tonight
So why can’t I be stronger for you
I try to live my life with virtue
It’s midnight in this lonely city
I want your love and not your pity please
I lay my head down on the bed
And wonder how it came to this
There’s not a dream I haven’t lost
There’s no desire without a cost
And all my plans to make a change
Are only rumors in the wind
But I’m afraid that what is real
Will turn my heart to solid steel
So why can’t I be stronger for you
I try to live my life with virtue
It’s midnight in this lonely city
I want your love and not your pity please

0 CommentsI wrote this for a friend who needed some chill background funk behind some spoken word stuff. I called it “Peace and Love” because of the spoken content. I created it on June 12, 2005 in an hour or so.
It’s 83bpm in the key of Bbmin (Dorian). The groove is an Apple loop (Effected Drum Kit). The rest of the instrumentation is produced by Logic Pro’s built in instruments: synth bass, tremolo flanged rhodes, Marvin Gaye synth strings, OB-8 style synth inspired by Prince and The Time with some synth sax thrown in, hammond (EVB3), wah wah clav (EVD6), and muted guitar.
