So it's with slightly baited breath that I release Your Choice for the world to hear... This is a very poppy song, which isn't a sound I've messed about with previously. I wrote this whilst walking(!) which is something I've started to do more and more. By the time I got home the chorus was spinning round in my head so much that I had to grab a guitar and get it out. Much like Eddie finds in The Dark Tower by Stephen King, creating something from nothing is a bit like revealing something that's already present. The trick is to get the sound (or wooden carving as in Eddie's case) exactly like you imagined it. Harder to do than it is to say...! So enjoy the listen - and if you haven't already - go ahead and read The Dark Tower by Steven King!

 

 

It's been seven days since you said you're gonna call me back,
I think that's long enough to say
That you never wanted to promise you'd ever be anything else than what you are,
Now I've come to realise

That I want to be loved,
Don't want to be just someone you think of when you're low.
I told you to go,
But you say "hello".
Didn't you know?

That I won't pretend that you didn't hurt me.
And I won't pretend that there's nothing wrong.
So if you pretend that everything's O.K.
That's your choice.
That's your choice.

It's been twenty days and you say you don't understand.
You say "nothing's got to change."
But how can nothing change but the way I pretend everything could be a happy end?
Now that's just wrong.

'Cause I want to be loved...

Chorus

I told you I would go,
And I want to let you know,
There's nothing you can do to change my mind.
I promise you this time,
There's nothing left of mine...

'Cause I want to be loved...

Chorus
