#LyricsNSongs (5) You Say you Love Me...

This blog will dive into track 8 of Busted Dreams. All parts were played straight through as band members would in concert. Main guitar part in left stage started it all out with basic drum track. Following respectively: Vocal, backup vocal 1, piano, percussion, bass, guitar two(right stage), backup vocals 2&3....hearing a semblance of each in mind/imagination until recorded. This was the 2nd recording of this song, after a previous 4 track demo.


You Say You Love Me (I'll Hold You to UR Word)
w/m Sam Reeves

I hear you say you love me
But I'm not satisfied
That you have meant all you said
You wouldn't look me in the eyes Oh

You say you love me
Well if you don't mean it I'll hold you to ur word
I'll hold you till you give in and believe those words
You say you love me

You said you want us married
Oh but something don't seem right
When it comes to making plans
You've never made the time Oh

You say you love me
Well if you don't mean it I'll hold you to ur word
I'll hold you till you give in and believe those words
You say you love me
You say you love me (You say you love me)
You say you love me (love me)

Yeah

Yeah all I said may not seem right
Oh But it seemed worth the try
Cause I love you with all I have
That's why I've held on so tight Oh

You say you love me
Well if you don't mean it I'll hold you to ur word
I'll hold you till you give in and believe those words
Oh You say you love me
Well if you don't mean it I'll hold you to ur word
Yeah I'll hold you till you give in and believe those words
Oh You say you love me
You say you love me (You say you love me)
Why don't you show me (Why don't you show me)
You say you love me Oh
Come Come Come here and show me

Yeah

Writers notes: Somethings you write out of the air are almost prophetic at times. That seems to somehow follow the dreams narrative. Sometimes it could get fulfilled. Sometimes it seems busted after a point, but you act it out anyways ...following UR heart. Dreams can be like video ...I write to that most often.
after initial write an edit to alter ending was made both lyrically and musically with some satisfaction, another part of the dream.

Artist notes: felt close to some  Allman Brothers,  Springsteen, Marshall Tucker Band ...even cheering me on a little in my imaginative collective heart. LOL!

In this blog we start with track 6 I'm Always Waiting For Your Smile... track 7 Tonight (After that Smile) was recorded at the same time. Track seven started as an overflow musically from track 6 but quickly took on it own identity musically and lyrically... played it straight through no overdubs, although lived with both on guitar then keyboard for several months...


I'm Always Waiting for UR Smile

w/m Sam Reeves

I'm always waiting for ur smile
Then I know I'm reaching you in my mind
I see you breathing feel ur hands on my arms

It's like there's candles everywhere I see
UR eyes are asking if that pleases me
Well even more than ever even more when I see ur smile

Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh oh Oh Oh
Oh

I'm always waiting for ur smile
Yes you can be staying long as you like
Oh They's no reason to worry we're both here for the night
 If that's aright Is it  (alright)

See I'm always waiting for ur Smile
Then I know I'm reaching you in my mind
I feel us breathing oh I feel us breathing in my heart Oh

Oh I'm always waiting for ur smile
Oh I'm always waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting
I'm always waiting for ur smile
It's ur smile

Listen Full Strength...


Tonight (After That Smile)

w/m Sam Reeves

Oh after that smile will you be going ..staying with me for awhile oh
See I've got plans ur not knowing oh will you be here another night
Yeah tonight yes tonight tonight tonight

You remember dancing to Nights In White Satin ...seeing you again baby it takes me there
oh tonight it can finally happen like it should of then I swear
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
(tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight)


Writer's notes: Most dreams come with chances to grab hold of them... I was raised a gentlemen (some type of Southern ...Ky. to Texas).  ...I really think I made my own rules about that though ...words, actions, subtleties, heart, and of course smiles.

This blog will touch the Song "Nothing Means Anything To Me (Busted Dreams)" track 3 of the "Busted Dreams" Album. Then the following short track 4 "I Don't Want Wake Up (chorus)".

Writers comments: When it was first shared with the first listener(s) and following it was referred to by NMATM as often as it was mentioned in conversation. It appears to be a multi emotional/situational song/story/dream, but sincere. The line about "busted dreams" lent itself to the Album "Busted Dreams".

Nothing Means Anything To Me (Busted Dreams)
w/m Sam Reeves

Dreamed so big
Spilled out on my guitar
And I had to sing
Until it made some sense
There's no mistake
I want to stay
Right here with you
Until I wake
See nothing means anything to me
If your not here with me inside these dreams
Nothing means anything to me
Without you they're busted dreams

So I wrote it down
Put it in a frame
So you could see
Just what you mean to me
Yeah I can live my life
Without you here
But it wouldn't be the same
Oh just keep the frame

See nothing means anything to me
Oh if your not here with me inside these dreams
See nothing means anything to me
Without you they're busted dreams

Woohoo  Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh oh
Oh

I know you hear it everywhere
I don't care
Just look in that frame
Whisper my name
See nothing means anything to me
Oh oh Oh Oh
Oh

Nothing means anything to me
If your not here with me inside these dreams
See nothing means anything to me
Without you they're busted dreams

Oh

Nothing means anything to me
Nothing means anything to me

Oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh..
Oh ohohoh Oh ...mmmm
--------------------------------------
I Don't Want To Wake Up (chorus)
w/m Sam Reeves

I don't want to wake up if you're not around
Rather be a dreaming that your with me now
Your with me now yeah your with me now
Your with me now
artist/writer's notes: this chorus came up immediately from this earlier demoed song... definitely continues the story...

This Blog will touch track 3 of Busted Dreams,,, Someone (A Chance With My Heart). This recording was proceeded  in time by a four track Demo, it seems ages ago. Forward to the Busted Dreams album: Just a sense of fitting in the narrative if it can be found. It is definitely felt, experienced.

Someone (A Chance with My Heart)
w/m Sam Reeves

What do you say when it's all over
Tell me what to say
How do you pick up your bags and just move out
Away from yesterday

Oh I'm not really mad at you
But I'm not feeling no gratitude
I'm giving someone the chance I gave you
I'm giving someone a chance with my heart
Yeah a chance with my heart

Oh how do you win at this gambling game
Tell me how to win
How do you stack all the cards in your favor
If it's like playing Gin Oh

Oh I'm not really mad at you
But I'm not feeling no gratitude
Yeah I'm giving someone the chance I gave you
I'm giving someone a chance with my heart
Yeah a chance with my heart
A chance with my heart
Yeah a chance with my heart

Oh I'm not really mad at you
But I'm not feeling no gratitude
I'm giving someone the chance I gave you
I'm giving someone a chance with my heart
Yeah a chance with my heart
Yeah a chance with my heart
A chance with my heart
Yes there's someone
Yes there's someone
Oh yes there's someone
Some sweet someone oh
Where are you where are you
My sweet someone Oh
Where are you where are you
My sweet someone Oh
Someone Someone Someone
Someone

writers thoughts: Risk, art, the bluff, vulnerability, desire, complexity of the game ...all involved when the heart's risked.

This blog will touch track 1 of Busted Dreams, No More. This track spilled over emotionally and facilitated track 2, OD No More (Instrumental) as well.

 No More
w/m Sam Reeves
Thought this was what I need yeah
But you seem addicted to me
Want me runnin' through your veins
Oh tried to buy more of me baby
But I got short changed

You can't have this no more
Yeah you can't have this no more
No no no no no no no no
See I'm not your dealer not your store
And I'm not sellin' out here no more Oh
Cause it's my last time through that door

Yeah I really watin' try'n make you pay
You know that's how users get their name yeah
Oh to you I'm just a rush
Ah be quiet now baby yeah you might as well hush

You can't have this no more
You can't have this no more
No no no no no no no
See I'm not your dealer not your store
And I'm not sellin' out here no more Oh
Cause it's my last time through that door
Yeah baby it's my last time through that door

Yeah It's my last time through that door
No More Oh (No More)
don't let that hit me where ha ha
don't worry 'bout that  No More

You can't have this no more
You can't have this no more

Hey baby I said it's my last time
Oh Babe It's my last time
No oh no I said no  no no no more
(No more no more no more no more no more)
........................................................................
writers comments : addiction is a bitch. only way I ever beat it is to be addicted to not being addicted. It is a success all to itself.We are addicted to something. Not selling out is like not selling short...or short changed. blessed to live blessed to give.... part of the dream

No More and OD No More (recorded together)

Out of the air- anything else

will pick up Track 3 next blog.... Listen Full Strength on CD

Shazam UR S MAN

Owing UR LIFE 

I owe my life to several things. But at times it has has been music that kept me alive. It might be easy to conceive that a broken heart , a down spirit might might desire to extinguish the fire with playing , writing a song. I found on numerous times the next works gave me instant will to live another day. If I talked to God I was convinced He said, "Sam finish all the work I gave you before you leave." Sooner or later I know what the response will be. So the hopper is full! So much to complete!
Next come purpose. Not mine, but the songs, the art , the albums , the dreams... they are for those all those  that God wanted to hear them. I don't know how many there are... I know a little of the heart opening it will do for some.... as the inspiration and spirit opened mine! And the thanks I give to the listener because that purposeful listen has given me extra life.

Thanks Sam Reeves(aka UR S MAN)
