Story Behind the Song
Song was written for a friend who was going through a tough time. Took about a week while I was away from home. Later sang the song to her answer phone, she would then not erase the message until I had sent down a tape!
Recorded in Striven Gardens Glasgow. Jeep took a lot of overdubs and carved them down to this recording. We could have done with more time, but pleased with the result.
Lyrics
Phoenix
Hold yourself a while
You don't have to smile
As your dreams, fall as ash
There will come a day
Dreams will rise again
Reborn from the dust
With open arms, I offer you this celebration
Of who you are, and how you are, you're wonderfull to me
And another day
You'll look back and say
"I'm older now, I have learned
That I must keep alive
This child I have inside
And know, her worth"
I know, that sometimes, you will feel alone
But please hear me, you are loved
And there will come a day
Dreams will rise again
Reborn from the dust.
