I plan to work harder on my music this season than being content to let the lyrics carry the song. With Those October Feelings, which will be the title song from my first 50/90, I worked more on the melody than anything else, the lyrics being a fairly simple expression of a person who avoids things he once loved because he no longer experiences the feelings they once gave him.. so I wrote it with the idea of the music carrying the load of the song rather than simply supporting the lyric.
lyrics
There was a feeling in our hearts
When we rode that train
We sealed the feeling in our hearts
on that train
When we rode that train
The tracks rumbled with feeling
But I cant ride that train no more
I dont remember the feeling
Those October Feelings Never last
By the first of November
They are lost to the past
I wonder what our shows of love Were concealing
now it is easy to shed those October Feelings
there was a feeling in the room
when we were together
I trapped the feeling in the room
with that song
When I sang that song
I filled the air with feeling
But I cant sing that song no more
I dont remember the feeling
Those October Feelings Never last
By the first of November
They are lost to the past
I wonder what our shows of love Were concealing
now it is easy to shed those October Feelings
