about
Groh spent roughly 200 hours on this song. It went through 7 versions, and started as an uptempo, major key jazz song.
His objective was to create a constantly evolving sonic landscape, that takes the listener on such a journey, that 4 minutes feels like a beautiful lifetime.
lyrics
Today was honey
Someday I’ll confuse it for a dream
You call me honest
Whatever that means
Life’s been good to me
The people and the path that I chose, chose me
I’m paid for by what I was made for
Even started winning in my dreams
You’ve got gamut you’re a star
You ain’t who they say you are
Same door different key
You don’t have to redefine the dream
(fade the lights)
You are what you think of in the dark
(stay the night)
I love you but you don’t know who you are
Something calms my spirit
In my careful dream
Used to be my morality
But it’s your drugs now
It’s your drugs now
It’s your drugs now
It’s a color that I think about
It’s my own face in the clouds
You’ve got gamut you’re a star
You ain’t who they say you are
Same door different key
You don’t have to redefine the dream
(fade the lights)
You are what you think of in the dark
(stay the night)
I love you but you don’t know who you are
Look at you even I wanna be me
We live for beauty that’s what makes you family
