This is the second song we wrote and collaborated on together and the second song released for the Weekly Beats 2016 project. Aaron MIles wrote the chords, bass and drums while he and his family were literally seeking solace and shelter at his parent’s house during an ice storm-caused power outage. It was a week of hunkering down with family and waiting out the storm, similar to what we’ve been going through in 2020 during the pandemic. In a later recording session, AM Faulks laid down more keyboards (both chords and leads) and the gorgeous guitar leads. The lyrics that were added in 2020 reflects on the gratitude of having family and friend support: “Where would you want to be, if not here with me?”
lyrics
Take take
Take take the time
Let the flow take root
A mirror of your respect
Look at what’s good for us
Darling take flight
Where would you want to be, if not here with me?
Take take
Take take the time
Let the flow take root
A mirror of your self-respect
Look at what’s good for us
Turn out, turn out within
Synchronize respect
Dial in, take flight
Where would you want to be, if not here with me?
