Count Your Blessings (I Can Always Count On You)
With a melody almost as deep as an artists passion, CYB combines artful acoustics with phasing to create rich, dreamy landscapes of sound painted with a pastiche of vocals, echoes and lo-fi noise to generate the very essence of songwriting.
Take a listen and see what you like. Drift off into a phasing sleep with the song Count Your Blessings.
I'm just starting to experiment with varying textures and recording techniques through my new laptop studio, bear with me as I record more of my songs as time progresses.
Story behind the song
It has been said that the only thing constant is change. Change, however constant it may be, is a fear of many people. It alters us, it can leave us neglected, it can discard us at the throw of a hat. Luckily, the strength to overcome change, whether it be in perspective or setting, is the one ray of light that penetrates through the negativity. The strength to hold on and keep what you have in your possession is this light, and that light, shines on this song.
Lyrics
it's been so long since you've heard this voice
these tired strings and offbeat noise
there's miles to go down i-95
but these soft words will be your guide
how long has it been? three weeks at best
2 hour drives put cars to tests
a busy week with much on minds
puts a hopeful heart on these phone lines
how do i write the perfect song to keep me on her mind?
how did she fill the perfect hole that no one else could find?
Expectations, none that i had to meet
And all the odds the odds that we had to beat
sometimes it makes me sure this was meant to be.
listen to this cracking voice until it becomes a whisper
it tells of a boy who found a girl, and how he said he'd miss her
Since It makes sense to count our blessings, i can always count on you
Passive friends are passing trends, and commitment feels so true
