Story Behind The Song

Broadjam Member Reviews Nice simple song and performance. Cat Stevens feel. Would be great to hear this on-stage in a upbeat positive pub. Your voice is honest, legit. Well done! Many singer songwriters I think try to over do it. I feel like you stayed within yourself. If you ever want a gig in Portland, OR look me up. - The Noted Good expression of emotion from the singer. If produced it could be a good modern pop track. Good instrumentation and the arrangement ideas are refreshing. I like the bridge, it takes it in a different direction. The lyrics are conversational which is always a good thing in a pop song. The vocalist has good emotion and expression. - Anelda Spence Beautiful guitar opening. Just love the guitar harmonies here. Vocalist sings with emotion and great technique. The lyrics are sung with true belief, and written in a style that most people will be able to relate to. The recording is crystal clear and perfectly in balance between guitar and vocal. Great performance here! - Andy J King

(COPYRIGHTED 2009)

STEVE DAFOE


CHORUS:

WHEN I KNEW LITTLE PURPOSE, YOU BECAME THE ONLY ONE
AND WHEN THERE WAS RAIN, YOU STAYED THE ONLY ONE....

C (hard strum) Fmaj7 (hard strum C (hard strum) Fmaj7 (hard strum
BRINGING SOME LIGHT, GIVING ME STRENGTH

G (pick low E down to high E) Fmaj7 (G,B,E SOLO)
THROUGH ALL THE STORMS, YOU BEEN THE ONLY ONE
AND I KNOW THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE........

Cm7 Fmaj7
LETTING YOU IN....YOU'RE HOLDING MY HEART

SO SCARED TO DEATH, I CAN ONLY HOLD MY BREATH

BUT MY LOVE DOESN'T WANT TO GO
Cm7 Fmaj7
BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO START
