YOU
By Patrina Morris
“Reflecting on the subtleties of changing seasons”
Written with guitarist /producer Jon Klein (Sinead O’Connor, Souxisie and the Banshees, Jah Wobble, Fangoria)
YOU … creates emotion and tells a story, smooth and melodic a sweet love song about the poetic purity of youth and unconditional love.
The start of a journey of discovery…. reflected in changing seasons.
“When I met you, happy was where I’d always be and I knew it instantly”
Skipping drum beats and 2 basses dance in counterpoint, signifying …
Summer as a dreamcatcher.
Autumn arrives with percussion as a wake up call… the best friend of loneliness.
Winter a mirror, reflecting the stark realities of nature.
Spring a poet’s muse, unfolding its beauty, it all becomes a tale or renewal.
“Forever and a day When I met you!”
Patrina Morris:
“I was reminiscing on thoughts …. feelings and how you feel when you meet someone special , be it a friend, partner or even one of my beautiful fur babies!
I’m simply saying life is too short, cherish moments , feelings and always love ….
For me “love” is unavoidable … forever in your heart, we find happiness in memories … and basically “feeling good ” x”
Jon Klein:
“In the early stages of the recording we stripped away anything that limited our imagination. The song seemed to be asking us for freedom and subtlety.
Musical elements were kept as minimal as possible, allowing the voices to be centre stage with an electric piano painting light colours. The voices fly and glide around the harmonies as the cymbals and vibraphones shimmer in the open spaces.”
Our working process was very much feelings first, thoughts follow.”
Every sunset and laugh … becomes a memory!
