First Words

by Joseph E Harrison

supported by

saxylola The utter musician-ship. From the lyrical beauty of the track out of discordant beginnings, to the structure, the ingenious layers, textures, harmonies and voicing, to the mix and, ultimately, to the actual talent of all players and singers involved who seem to understand exactly what’s needed. This is composition and production oerfection. Too many particular magic moments to list. An absolute work of art.

lyrics

First Words:

Who spoke first? I don't know. Wonder what we said?
Nothing could prepare me. You got in my head.
There's this thing I do; casually forget.
Couldn't do for you.

And I'm finding it so easy to change my mind for you.
I'm finding it so easy to change.

Greener pastures rarely are. I'm glad you're home.
Maybe someday, where you go, I will follow.

'cause I'm finding it so easy to change my mind for you.
I'm finding it so easy.
I'm finding it so easy to change my mind for you.
I'm finding it so easy to change.

I'm glad you're home.
Maybe next time where you go, I'll follow.
I'll follow.

Who spoke first? I don't know.
Maybe next time where you go, I'll follow.
I'll follow.

And I'm finding it so easy to change my mind for you.
I'm finding it so easy.
I'm finding it so easy to change my mind for you.
I'm finding it so easy to change.
