Story Behind The Song

The song started with the chorus that was done in minutes. Then months to fill in the verse storyline around the nostalgic imagery. I was pleased to give the story some arc. Maybe I should have added a bridge but I can do that later when A-list artist decides to put a hold on it.

Song Description

A meeting of old lovers sparks memories

Lyrics

Hello old friend, good to hear 'bout
All the things that you've done
I can't help it, all I can think of
Is when we were young
I know we never had a storybook ending
But I still feel a rush when I think back to us in the beginning

(Chorus 1)
Under painted skies
We walked through fields that shimmered in shades of gold
Endless summer nights
We found a place we started to call our own
I can still see you standing right there
I can still feel the magic in the air

You say you miss me, then you ask me
If I'd go back to the old days
And start all over, sure I want to
Let's take the slow way
I'm not gonna guess that the road up ahead has no curves
But I'm ready to ride and I'm willing to try to get back to that world
(Chorus 2)
Under painted skies
We walked through fields that shimmered in shades of gold
Endless summer nights
We found a place we started to call our own
Whether we'll ever find it again
It'll always be part of who I am

(Chorus 3)
Under painted skies
We walked through fields that shimmered in shades of gold
Endless summer nights
We found a place we started to call our own
I can still see you standing right there
I can still feel the magic in the air
Under painted skies
Under painted skies
