Written in April 2004 by Walrus Gumble a.k.a User, for songfight! Here's the original. I was assigned it as a coverfight challenge in August 2004 and gave it my spin. That Monsieur Gumble put together such a simple, yet universal message about expired/unrequited love gave me a great start. The three levels of delusional hope, self-pity, and mad resentment really came out in the mix, so I blame the muse. Once that was cleared up I just put in a few rolled cymbals and the kalimba. "Roymond : Damn you. I've listened to this about 50 times now, and it's becoming one of my favorite songs, period. This resonates with me. This makes me want to give up music, because I'll never make a song as beautiful as this. You should have wrote this song yourself. [Best Cover]" - Sven Mullet

-- Say the Word -- by Walrus Gumble I used to believe that true love held such power. It could break through all walls; It could climb all towers. With true love came true life: the meaning, the answer. And everthing would work out in the end I guess I was stupid, was happy, was blinded, cuz each time I think now, I'm sorely reminded: It's not enough to be in love. Don'tcha love it when you heart and your beliefs all get shot straight down from the sky? Help me reach the light that I still can barely, barely see. If you're still in love with me, know that I... I know you still feel it. Why won't you reveal it? Stop hiding from yourself. No need to conceal it. And when you said you'd always love me, I believed. Don'tcha love it when your heart and your beliefs all get shot straight down from the sky? Help me reach the light that I still can barely, barely see. If you wanna be with me, know that I'm... Waiting here for you to say the word. I am waiting here for you to say the word. Waiting here for you to say the word. Yes I'm waiting here for you to say the word. Waiting here for you to say the word. Waiting here for you to say the word. Waiting here for you to say the word. I'm always waiting here for you to say the word.© 2004 walrus gumble |
