I Like It As It Is

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing it (we will, we will mend it…), I found this thing in a songwriting-demo form with a hip-hop beat, just two rather messy guitars, and a gorgeous but rather flawed vocal.
It got written at the same time as Cobwebs and I Like This Girl… but I didn’t know how to play/record this one.
When I found it the other week, I played it to Mrs R and she went “wow”… So I mixed the demo as best I could and sent it to Lala (muse/inspiration in this case).
I very nearly posted it on here as well… But this is what I could hear in my head when I listened to it, and the demo doesn’t sound like this at all…. So I fixed it up, replaced everything, and gave it some extra sparkles.
I’ll probably find now that Lala preferred it as it was. But I prefer it like this…
I Like It As It Is - A A J Russe
Please don’t change a thing
I like it as it is
There’s magic in your words
I like it as it is
When you come through my door
When you take a breath
When you raise your head
I like it as it is
And when you wonder
What can he see?
How can I tell you?
I can’t even think
I like it as it is
Please don’t change a thing
I like it as it is
Every time you sing
I like it as it is
And when you’re laughing
Laughing at me
How on earth could I tell you?
When I can’t even breath
I like it as it is
Please don’t change a thing
I like it as it is
Every time you sing
I like it as it is
