Say The Word

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.
