my 25th music upload! ^_^ ("under your spell")
18 years ago
After a few months of collaborations, this month's addition to my music gallery is a return to my "solo" material. It's also the most recently recorded of the songs I've posted. Of course, it's still 11 years old lol, but it's the most recent! :D It's also my 25th musical submission to FA (including the 4 holiday-related songs in my "scraps" section).
"Under Your Spell" grew out of a tune I came up with in the summer of 1995. I've attempted to come up with a "final" version of it 2 or 3 times, and I still haven't done a version that I'm completely happy with... but until I get back into recording again, this version (recorded in March of 1996) will do. My keyboard only had so many pre-programmed beats that I liked, so this uses the same beat as my previously-uploaded song "Alone", but at a faster tempo.
Lyrically, the song is about falling for someone who you know you shouldn't be falling for. Maybe you know they're totally the wrong person for you, maybe they're the type of person you'd normally *never* go for... and yet, why can't you get them out of your mind? You can try to resist, you can try to employ logic... but when it comes to love (or lust), more often than not resistance is futile and logic is irrelevant.
Fun fact: This is my third song to contain the word "resistance" in the lyrics... but only the first to contain the word "masochist". :P
As usual, please excuse the crudeness of the yada yada yada.
"Under Your Spell"
Someone tell me how it's come to this
I find myself in total disarray
I've thrown away my pride and prejudice
I never thought I'd ever feel this way
But now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
There's no way to stop what has begun
There is no chance of staying in control
Thanks to you my world has come undone
Lord above have mercy on my soul
'Cause now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
And it all comes down to those little things
That you never know you do
And it all comes down to those precious things
That shackle me in agony for you
There's no point in trying to resist
When my resistance has been stripped away
I must be some kind of masochist
To let myself be tortured this way
And now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
Now you've got me under your spell
