Story Behind The Song

A good friend and co-writer of mine Michael Szumowksi came up with a chord sequence on piano. I went away and spent time reflecting the mood and what was on my mind. The lyric was inspired by some family members and their hardships in life. I wrote the lyric in a an hour and spent weeks crafting the lyrics as it was so important to me. A friend / artist heard it and she desperately wanted it for her single. It was released successfully in Australia / Germany and France.

Song Description

The person in this song is down and seeking hope and more to life. The bridge provides the ray of sunshine for the listener.

Lyrics

V1
I WATCH THE WORLD JUST PASS ME BY
LIKE A DRIFTING SATELLITE
I CRY TO HEAVEN FROM MY BROKEN HELL
THERE'S NO-ONE HOME

I'VE SAILED ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS
STILL I'M SEARCHING FOR THE QUAY
TO PEACE AND LOVE
BUT I CAN'T FIND MY WAY, CAUSE

CH
SHE DEVIL STOLE MY HEART
SHE DEVIL WATCHED ME FALL APART
IT DON'T MATTER WHAT YOU SHE SAY
SHE'S DEVIL

SHE DEVIL IN DISGUISE
SHE DEVIL I CAN NEVER HIDE
IT DON'T MATTER WHAT SHE DO
SHE'S DEVIL

V2
NOW I'M OUT HERE ALL ALONE
SO SAD IT'S BEAUTIFUL
SEE I WAS ONCE A DIAMOND TOO
SHINING BLUE

NOW THE LIGHT HAS TURNED TO GREY
I HEAR VOICES FADE AWAY
TO SOLITUDE
WHISPERING THE TRUTH

CH

M8
I FEEL LIKE HOPE REMAINS
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD PRAY

LET MY FEARS WASH AWAY
LET THE RIVER FLOW AGAIN

CH

OUTRO
I WATCH THE WORLD JUST PASS ME BY
LIKE A DRIFTING SATELLITE
I CRY TO HEAVEN FROM MY BROKEN HELL
THERE'S NO-ONE HOME...
