Never Let You Go

[Casia - lyricist]

I've been busy with school but this song suddenly become "finished" that was started two years ago!!!  Christina and I would have liked a few changes if we'd have known but I'm pretty happy with it.  The music reminded me of "Stairway To Heaven" one of my all time favorite songs so I had to write to this.

Written to an instrumental ... obviously

Never Let You Go
Lyric:   Casia
Composition:  Rick Connor
Vocals:  Christina Britton
Bass:  Grumpy

(V1)
We're bound together by stories
That could tear a lover's heart
On this caravan of loneliness
Tell me, where do we start
There's nothing like a rebirth
To find ourselves a home
Find ourselves a home
 
As the hour approaches midnight
The raven calls out my name
For I've become the broken-hearted
And love is just a game
Isis is standing over us
To claim our naked souls
Claim our naked souls

(V2)
The sentinel within my heart
Watches me as I breathe
For I've crossed the path of no return
I'm grasping helplessly

[spoken]
I walk amongst the forgotten
On a ritualistic plight
Single file with my ball and chain
Thru the cold fires of night

Beckon me with your lullabies
And I'll undress before your eyes
My inner self for just one taste
Of champagne without disgrace

[spoken]
You can give me a medal
To hide my battle scars
For this broken heart
Is now floating on the stars
 
(Chorus)
When your every word becomes a whisper
Speak into my empty soul
My unquenchable passion will never let you go
Will never let you go

(Bridge)
When all hope is lost
The skies will open up
To wash away the dirt and grime
Of this lovesick lover's crime

(Chorus)
When your every word becomes a whisper
Speaking to my empty soul
My unquenchable passion will never let you go
Will never let you go
I'll never let you go
Never let you go

(V4)
I'll scream from the rooftops
That I've found myself a jar
To feed the empty plate
That once was my heart
Speaking to my empty soul
I'll never let you go
Never let you go

(Outro)
Every nights a new beginning
There's a smile upon my face
Everything I see and touch
Becomes another day
Speaking to my empty soul
I will never let you go
Never let you go

It does sound a bit like Stairway to Heaven 

Nice to see some new stuff from you Casia.

I like it but was totally turned off by the vocal effect, it makes Christina sound like she's coming out of a tin can     Which is a pity when there's all those lyrics to listen to.

Thanks CD, it's pretty heavy on lyrics for sure so thanks for listening to the whole thing 

Things happen when you collaborate every now and then with "new" people and only do one song with them, it kinda goes astray somewhere along the way.  I really don't like working much to straight instrumentals because the musicians get kinda stubborn and in reality don't really care about the lyric or vocal  or modifying it to fit a structure lol lol!!!  I don't work that way any more, I have standards hahahah!

And, it's not really new stuff, more like old stuff.  I have a few new pieces I haven't loaded up and am working on about 15 songs off site as nobody here wants my lyrics anymore  .  I think you guys are tired of me, you know, same 'ol same 'ol relationship crap
