This song is about unrequited love. That's right--R-E-J-E-C-T-I-O-N-- I was certain this time, this was the one. Someday, maybe I'll get over it--the rejection-- In the meantime, it keeps fueling my songwriting, and somehow that's supposed to make me feel better...(wink! ha ha) Even with my heart broken like it was, I refused to let my depression get the best of me. That is when I decided to write this song. To this day, I still write about this feeling of love lost. I will never forget the feelings that this love brought to me. The high flying floating and the endless falling. The bittersweet. Well, maybe I should just have a good cry and
get it all out.
The first time
I ever performed this song, Sue played her mandolin with me.
I actually tried recording other instruments
for the solo, however, the mandolin stuck out in my head and I felt certain
I had to ask Sue to play for my project. Good thing I did. It is beautiful.
I chose Michael for the drums for this song because I like the little rolls
and fills he plays. Many thanks, Sue and Michael.
