Unfinished Song

I’m on a songwriting week with friends. I’m so lucky to have this, and it’s always a great blessing. The friendships are even more important than the songs these days. But we do still write songs.

And below is an Unfinished Song I prepared earlier. Not prepared it well enough yet obviously, because it isn’t finished. But I can’t really come to a blog about songs and community, while I’m on a songwriting week without something to show you. Don’t know if this is a keeper yet, but we’ll find out.

Don’t Forget To Breathe
For the very first time
You find yourself there
Standing on the edge of the edge at the end
Of the universe

A journey through space and time
Oh you struggled for air
But now you’re standing on the edge of the edge at the end
Of the universe

Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe

And the milky way
Is a distant memory
Like the way she held your body when your body was
The only thing there

And when the light of day
Was a lifetime away
But here you are standing on the edge at the end of
The universe

Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
