Say The Word (Walrus Gumble)

This music free to

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.

I also did my own version for the original fight.

—————————————————————————————

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 everything 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 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 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

I'm always waiting here for you to say the word
