Name: Our Song
Duration: P00H03M05S
Description: This one is based upon the Phil Spector drumbeat. You know, the one that's on pretty much every popular song he produced. The same rhythm he probably used to shoot that actress at his mansion. Anyroad, the song turned out decently; I'm still not 100% happy with the harmonies, but that's what makes these demos.

lyrics

when you are around
i always hear a sound on the radio
i do not know its name
and you know that it's a shame i don't know it cuz
we've gotta find a melody
that's only good for you and me
a song that can be our first dance
a song that captures our romance

we need to listen some tunes
and think about me and you while we hear them
though debating isn't fun
we both know there can only be one and so
we'll listen for some time
and then we'll wrack our minds
but every song we've heard
has a couple misplaced words

we have to pick our song tonight
it has to be completely right
it cannot be obscure or trite or sappy
we have to pick it before dawn
and all the ones we've tried are wrong
we've got to find which one song makes us happy

it's so hard to decide
when nothing that is written describes what i feel for you
with just a glance at your face
i'll stumble and i'll lose my place when i'm talking
so i do apologize
sincerely looking in your eyes
but i think that any mortal's pen
couldn't contemplate where we have been

we have to pick our song tonight
it has to be completely right
it cannot be obscure or trite or sappy
we have to pick it before dawn
and all the ones we've tried are wrong
we've got to find which one song makes us happy
