about

This song was kind of later in my most prolific music phase. 1999. I had run my course fishing for compliments from my friends. My few remaining music biz contacts were unresponsive to stuff I had sent a year or two previous. I was alone with my ideas and broken heart. There was no real reason for me to make music. Except that's what was all I wanted to do.

Clean guitars, wimpy drumming. I played everything, so, yeah, sorry about the drumming. Wimpy as usual but the fills I went for. Some actually were ok. That was a triumph for me.

Back in the day I was an excitedly sad participant in what I saw at the time was a "love square" of sorts. So this song is kind of crazy. And I had really spun out of orbit.

lyrics

Loving me reminds you of loving her with all your love
And loving you reminds me of loving him with all my love

I watch myself making him feel like a man again
I'm letting him go back to her only to die again
He's drawn to my faith, I'm not safe like their misery
The damage is done, and everybody's going to cry

Loving me reminds you of loving her with all your love
And loving you reminds me of loving him with all my love
And loving me reminds you of being born again with all your love.
And loving you reminds me of dying for his dream of love

I'm fading away, disappearing of a broken heart
I watch myself making him feel like my enemy
He falls into my grave, I can't save him from his purity
The angels of innocence meet the army of death

Loving me reminds you of loving her with all your love
And loving you reminds me of loving him with all my love
And loving me reminds you of being born again with all your love
And loving you reminds me of dying for his dream of love

I watch myself making him feel like my savior
I'm giving him the strength to connect with his God
He thinks I'm naive, he can't see beyond my innocence
He wants me to be her, and her to be me




I've always really liked this song but haven't seen it reach its full potential. I modified it in 2018 to be a "Star-Crossed" lovers song between two lovers and made a gentler acoustic version on Landers Demo here on my site.
