Story Behind The Song
I really like the recording. Its orchestrated from a lot of guitar loops I made, and works realy well.
Song Description
Its about insomnia, and the endless fixated thoughts that circle one's mind in the night. The Music is moody. Lovely melodic lines and harmonic shifts.

Lyrics
Can't Keep My Mind From You
Sullen moon,
Shine on me tonight,
Give me reason,
Give me peace of mind,
Haven't slept in weeks,
How, idle minds, they brew,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.
Sullen moon,
Glide across my sky,
Give me answers,
Let me close my eyes,
Haven't slept in weeks,
What empty hours will do,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.
Suddenly,
There's a voice from my history,
Looming louder,
Bearing down on me.
Won't let me sleep.
Sullen moon,
Set in ebony,
Drifting westward,
Are you leaving me,
Haven't slept in weeks,
How, idle minds, they brew,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.
Haven't slept in weeks,
What empty hours can do,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.
I can't keep my mind from you,
And the moon is sullen.
