about

The essence of Sing Me a Song lies in its simplicity and gentleness. Like an old recording from the days of young love's first encounter. Or the new song of two lovers talking late into the night for the first time; fighting to stay awake for another of love's encores. Those first revealing words making the connection real. Sing Me a Song is about communicating love between two individuals. The cohesiveness comes from one person being the instrument and the other being the voice. Honest and vulnerable, without rehearsal, the two lovers make music together in harmony.

While the world around us becomes faster and more electric; Sing Me a Song plays out like a candle on the table. Classic and warm. Luminescent but never intrusive. It invites the quiet that happens in between the words of people truly connecting. The place where intimacy grows its garden. The playfulness in Sing Me a Song is reminiscent of good friendship. It captures my friend Serena Ryder and I communicating through our most comfortable language. Singing and playing music. Letting admiration, respect and love for another give life to humanity's oldest story. A love song about friendship and intimacy. Two of the greatest parts of being able to call someone your own.

lyrics

Sing me a song babe
What kind of song babe?
The one when you hear when you look into my soul

Sing me a song babe
What kind of song babe?
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just sing me a song
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just sing me a song

Play me a song babe
What kind of song babe?
The one that feels the closest to my touch

Play me a song babe
What if I get it wrong babe?
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just play me a song
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just play me a song

And I could play this guitar without any strings
I could sing for hours about everything
And that be alright by me
I could play this guitar without any strings
And I could sing for hours about everything
And that be alright by me

So sing me a song babe
What kind of song babe
The one you hear when you look into my soul
Sing me a song babe
What kind of song babe
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just sing me a song
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just sing me a song
It ain't gotta be good it ain't gotta be long just sing me a song
