Ballad Of A Winter Hymn

from 10 / Favs by Brodie Dakin

about

Ballad Of A Winter Hymn is taken from the E.P The Autumn Waltz. It has a long history from start to finish. I wrote the song in the Summer of 2011 during one of my quick flashes of productivity.

The drums we're recorded by one producer, the acoustic guitars by another producer, bass, electric and vocals by another producer, then finally finished off by Jim and myself.

The overall influence was The Smith's track How Soon Is Now. This song has also been newly remastered. It's a good 'head' song as the 60's producers used to say.

lyrics

Listened to the words you'd say
That painted sadness in these eyes.
Heard them once all before
Never needed to reply.

Spoke of love so afraid
To nestle into a warm embrace.
Struggled toward our own charade
Looking for a quick escape.

There we stood surrounded by feathers
The beat of our hearts let go to new weather.
Carried security only to far
Left w/ the past and made a new start.

Stumbled toward each others lies
Knowing the wrongs won't make it right.
Eyes sharpen to end the fight
Soon forget you, if just overnight.

All too soon 3 words at noon
Broke a heart and carried a tune.
What we said and what we did
Is now in the Ballad Of A Winter Hymn.
