Another Songwriting Demo for FAWM 2022

Song number 10.

I've had the little guitar bit in the middle for years and years and years.

Even my wife recognises it, I play it so often.

Yesterday while writing Once Again I started playing it when I got stuck...

I decided then that TODAY was the day I would finally use it.

Wasn't really expecting this to come out, but I don't know what I was expecting really.

UPDATE: I actually got the lyrics wrong on the current demo, in the 2nd verse. The lyrics below are what they're meant to be.

Surprise Me
Words & Music AndyR
--------------------------------
Your melodies
Start me flying
While your words
Leave me crying
I've watched
Things of beauty
But your song
Brings them to me

Now
Surprise me
Now
Surprise me

You walk
While they're running
You work
While they're sleeping
And why
They all wonder
Must she change
Steal our thunder

Now
Surprise me
Now
Surprise me

   All that I need
Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

Such a tender vocal and performance. I love the low key vibe of this and the rich voicings you are playing on the guitar. The lyrics feel like the perfect balance of being understated yet poetic. Love it!

Very intimate song, from lyric to performance - aided by the clean and minimal mix of just vocal and guitar. Whatever your recording setup is these days, it sounds incredibly clear.

Well done.

If I didn't know better I would say this is the singer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers...He is very cool...I like this vocal sound very much...and the guitar is great
I play things some times for a long time, in various ways until one day it comes into birth of a song...

nice lyrics but for me the beauty of the voice and the guitar almost blind me to it... I realize not everyone "hears" this way...for others they could care less about the music..it's all about the words.
