Red Sky (original)
Sometimes, there arrives a time in an abusive relationship during which a victim gives up entirely on the notion of leaving, but doesn't submit, either.
"I can stay till the end, but I won't call you friend." Complicated. I think only the people who have experienced those kinds of moments are really the only ones who could ever understand those emotions.
My only song with piano accompaniment. Subtle, but it's there. This is one of my favorite recordings that I've done, actually.
Red Sky
This fog is thick
but I can see.
My eyes are closing
but my mind won't freeze
You threw me down
I stared at you
And I did not flee
as you smiled at me
Look at that sky
It warned me so well
Like deep scarlet sheets
on the bed of all hell
Well I'll tell you, my dear
I can stay till the end
but I can't stand to smile
and I won't call you friend
No, I won't call you friend
This fog is thick
but I can see
My eyes are closing
but my mind won't freeze
Well, look at that sky.
It warned me so well
like deep scarlet sheets
on the bed of all hell

When I wrote Big Black Hole, that's the exact image I was looking for. But I had the hardest time finding the right words. Took me three verses and I still didn't get it right. You nailed it in nine words.
You are my hero. So much.
Love, Dino
Awwww.. I was off my meds. lol. It's where my best phrases come from.. so my songwriting advice is to become as crazy as me. ;) I think your lyrics are far better, though. That song is brilliant.

Sometimes, you blow me away with an entire song and a performance. And then you blow me away with just a phrase.
sigh
Such a beautiful song! I love it!
Thanks so much, Clove! ❤️❤️❤️
