Y9W43 Scarlet Letters

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10981987

Stealing a kiss
Breaking a vow
Hoping this all works out somehow
Hating the ways I sneak and creep around

It’s sad how I offend
It's not what I intend
Resolve is gone
Here I go again

Half a truth
Not quite a lie
Still I can't look her straight in the eye
I’ll be home late again tonight

I'm sorry I pretend
It's not what I intend
Resolve is gone
Here I go again

Wrap her neck with trinkets and tokens
Sacred love is sweetest when stolen
Is there hope; hope for the broken?
Scarlet letters come in every shape and size

Scratching an itch
Fetishes qu*eer
Catch a glimpse and there’s plenty to fear
Don't know how I always end up here

I’m not as strong as I pretend
I confess and say Amen
It's not easy but
I'm on the mend

And it comes as no surprise
Scarlet letters come in every shape and size

Using red letters in the lyrics? Cool concept. I like the chord progression and the song. I thought about a Stolen kisses line but thought the Powers that Judge would declare shenanigans and proclaim cliche.
I don't have time to write this week. If I did, I would use the key words to do a song about the American game of baseball. Stolen bases, broken bats, hating the Yankees.

Hi MrEWorm,

I like the chord progression and the song.

Thanks. I've been reading about the Beatles songs and use of chord progressions and experimenting.

I would use the key words to do a song about the American game of baseball.

I thought about that, too b/c when I put all the "key words" into a google search, I came across Rickey Henderson "The Man of Steal"

....but I'm not a sports fan.

Thanks for the listen and post

Safe travels for you.

Hi James, those words were quite tricky I thought, using the bullet point approach as youve done here certainly makes it easier, nicely done. I always enjoy a little bit of abiguity in a song, "Wrap her neck with trinkets and tokens" nice line.

cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,

I'm late with the thank you on this one. I'm not sure how I missed your post, but thanks for the listen and feedback on this one

those words were quite tricky I thought

Yes, I agree. With this one I just had to let the story unfold itself even if it came out a bit dark.

Thanks again.

James
