Story Behind the Song
I honestly don't remember who, or what life's experience inspired this song, short of the time and location. I was living in Phoenix, AZ in 1995. The song was one of my first to be written in an Eb minor key, and one of my first on acoustic guitar. It wasn't until pairing up with Dan Geary, my good friend and genius arranger, that the song came alive in full acoustic, electric sound, with some of the most dynamic vocals yet. The first verse combines my natural voice, and my falsetto voice in tight harmony offering a blend of masculine/feminine tones. The song lends itself to audience participation, ending with a complement of three hooks and counter melodies of memorable rock proportion.
Lyrics
No matter how far we go, no matter how long the road, each day I learn a little more from you...only emotions will show when hearts continue to grow, but despite all of our differences it's true...
There's nothing like the way you make me feel, even when I'm feeling down and out, all my troubles seem unreal...You gave me something priceless that I never could return, the candle from the flame inside your heart still burns...
Don't be frightened by me, I'm just a wandering need in the search of many ways to be fulfilled...All the matters to me is loving strong and living free, and I'm turning back the time we have to kill...
There's nothing like the way you make me feel, even when I'm feeling down and out, all my troubles seem unreal...You gave me something priceless that I never could return, the candle from the flame inside your heart still burns...
I go to sleep alone at night and wake up freezing cold with fright, I'll never wake up knowing you, could not forsake beholding you...
No matter how far we go, no matter how long the road, each day I learn a little more from you...only emotions will show when hearts continue to grow, but despite all of our differences it's true...
There's nothing like the way you make me feel, even when I'm feeling down and out, all my troubles seem unreal...You gave me something priceless that I never could return, the candle from the flame inside your heart still burns...
