Surprise Me (Acoustic Demo)

Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022
Song number 10
Written Wednesday 16th February 2022


I’ve had the little guitar bit in the middle for years and years and years.

Even my wife recognises it, I play it so often.

Yesterday while writing Once Again I started playing it when I got stuck…

I decided then that TODAY was the day I would finally use it.

Wasn’t really expecting this to come out, but I don’t know what I was expecting really.

Btw, I actually got the lyrics wrong on the current demo, in the 2nd verse. The lyrics below are what they’re meant to be.


Surprise Me - A A J Russe

Your melodies
Start me flying
While your words
Leave me crying
I’ve watched
Things of beauty
But your song
Brings them to me

Now
Surprise me
Now
Surprise me

You walk
While they’re running
You work
While they’re sleeping
And why
They all wonder
Must she change
Steal our thunder

Now
Surprise me
Now
Surprise me

A sweet almost-lullaby - glad this one found a home in your February. So very pretty.
