Conceived in a voice-memo and transfer from phone to Tascam 4-track Cassette recorder, this song wrote itself. I built around it layering vocals, guitars, an organ, and xylophone. This is a song for people in relationships experiancing distance that, at one point, seemed unfathomable.
lyrics
Too Much Space
I have so little to say about it
Just can’t live without it
With you, me
Something’s got to give and it’s something I can’t see yet
I live with many regrets about the things I’ve said, things I’ve done
Can’t be undone
Now there’s space between us
There’s too much space between us
I can see your pictures
I forget about your face
Seems to look different in person
There’s something you can’t get away with
There’s too much space between us
And there’s too much space between us
Show me a smiling face
It doesn’t mean much
Doesn’t say how you feel
And I can’t trust what is real
We have lost some trust
There’s a part of me I hate when I think of you
It comes through
It’s bubbling beneath even though I don’t want it to
And there’s too much space between us
There is too much space between us
There is too much space between us
