And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…

As it shines for you
How fast the days, all go by
When you’re no longer in your youth

Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…

A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.

Look, it's not a Letter Seventeen record if I don't end it with something like this. Plus, I spent way too much time playing with orchestral libraries all summer to not use them somewhere.
It started off so nice
A time for you and me

Every night, every night I pray
Good Lord gives me another day
Find it in your heart
Give me another start
This I pray, every day
We can never change the past.
Try to make the good times last
Life can pass us by

Input the chord sequence from a Spice Rack Collective song I wrote on guitar, converted a bass take from that song into MIDI, added a couple of VSTs, programmed some drums, and added some royalty-free voice samples I found online somewhere. Pretty…

In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down

As the time's running out
And I make my advance
Would there be any doubt
If I take the chance
Can I have one…
