The Orange Song

One of the things I have been learning to do better this summer (with the help of my friend Alex) is songwriting. I've been playing the guitar for a couple of years now.. but I'd only ever really played other people's music. So, after lots of post-it notes all over my desk at work, I've succeeded in writing several songs! This one is probably one of my favorites, and since my friend Erin loves it so much, I thought I would record it. Hopefully it lives up to the fame that Erin has spread about it. I make a few mistakes, but oh well - it adds character, right?



*I've had a request to post the lyrics, so here they are :)*

Orange you glad we met?
You peeled me open, I can't forget
the sections of my heart exposed,
it smelled so sweetly..

Oh love, Oh love,
pick me up and take me home.
So love, So love,
Orange you glad we met?

Growing out the ground,
You're the tree that I have found.
Your branches pick me up and, oh,
it feels so sweetly..

Oh love, Oh love,
pick me up and take me home.
So love, So love,
Orange you glad we met?

The juicy way you speak,
it tingles my tongue and sings me to sleep.
I always thirst without repose,
I drink it deeply.

Oh the sweetest sounds, the bluebirds above are making!
Oooooh Oooohh Oooooooh Ooooooooh (2x)

Oh love, Oh love,
Pick me up and take me home.
So love, So love,
Orange you glad we met?
Go love, Go love, Orange you glad we met?
Oh,

The golden seeds we throw,
we spread them around for nature to grow.
They gently wake and rise, and so
I see them briefly

Oh love, Oh love,
Pick me up and take me home.
So love, So love,
Orange you glad we met?
Go love, Go love,
pick me up and take me home.
Go love, Go love,

Orange you glad I'm yours?
