Well, here’s the song of mine with the most plays on Spotify.
And it’s only 1 MINUTE & 30 SECONDS long.
That can’t be a coincidence — but I’m scared of the lesson:
Only write miniature songs?
This is a fairly simple song I wrote for my wife.
Whose superpowers of intuition and honesty always help me become a better version of myself.
Even when the truth, at first, like usual, isn’t easy to acknowledge.

LYRICS
Take the silver of the river
Where the river starts to run
And take the sweetness of
An apple in the fall
Take every lesson that I wish
I’d learned when I was young
And you are truer than them all
Take the wandering in the desert
Take the blinding of the sun
Take the bodhi tree
Or the letters of Saint Paul
Take every phrase from any book
A faith was based upon
And you are truer than them all
Take the silent fire
Raging at the center of the earth
Take the spirit
For those who hears its call
Take the polygraph
Quiet after every honest word
And you are truer than them all
Well I promised I will love
Until our days are done
But I know you know
I’ve made those vows before
But all of those old promises
Just lead me to this one
And this one’s truer than before
‘Cause you are truer than them all
