Song in Your Box, Week Forty

(Me and my girls after dinner at my favorite Mexican place!)

Week Forty, "Every Little Thing"

I am writing this from 35000 ft. How cool? I am on my way back from my west coast trip. I had the best time in Los Angeles and San Francisco seeing all my friends and eating Mexican food for almost every meal!:)

But I am excited to get back to New York and write some songs after being so inspired and not having that much time to write. I can feel that it's just going to pour out of me so I look forward to that.

I'm also going to write a post about the ASCAP expo. I took away quite a lot but I need a bit more time to gather my thoughts and put it down. So keep a look out for that:)

So since I was away, I actually gave myself permission to use an older song so I could enjoy my week fully.

This song is called "Every Little Thing." I wrote it a while ago but never recorded it or played it out much. Not sure why because I love it:)

I actually wrote it for a songwriting workshop I was in. The "assignment" was to write a song in response to an already written well-known song. I chose sting's song " Every Little Thing she Does is Magic" . It didn't turn out to be a direct response but that's where I started from.

I love that songs can start out with one intention and then turn into something you never could have imagined. So here it is!

Thanks as always for listening and reading! It's the final stretch!!!:)

  Love, D

   

Every little thing I do Leads me to you Every little thing I say Is one step behind the truth

I'm sorry what else can I say? I'm sorry, didn't know I'd end up this way

Every little thing I touch Turns into dust Every little thing I kiss Doesn't turn into my prince

I'm sorry what else can I say? I'm sorry, didn't know I'd end up this way

So why don't I start to try something new? And why don't we keep on reaching for more?

Every little thing I doubt Turns me inside out Every little tear I cry Has its own reason why And every little step I take Might be a mistake

I'm sorry what else can I say? I'm sorry, I didn't know I'd end up this way

So why don't I start to try something new? And why don't we keep on reaching for more?
