Transparent recording process reveals all.

I do believe all components of this recording are present and complete, the first song in The Singles Series to reach that mile marker. It now requires some objective ears to mix the thing. Gotta tease out each part more separately: Kelly Jones backing vocals, John Fields bass drums production, Mike Railo piano, Ken Chastain perch. Co-written with Cliff Hillis.

Here’s a list of all my “Singles Series” blog posts.

LYRICS ::

You moved to Manhattan
Like a moth toward light
Dreams gathered around you
But something didn’t look right

You were one in a million
But then millions of people made plans
They make it look so easy
From the outside looking in

I’m invisible, you’re invisible, did we stare at the sun for too long?
We watched our best years disappear
Now we’re invisible in love

Watching you unpack boxes
And putting all your stuff on shelves
If we’d have looked in the mirror
We wouldn’t have recognized ourselves, ‘cuz

I’m invisible, you’re invisible, did we stare at the sun for too long?
A hundred years, all but disappear
Now we’re invisible in love

I’ve got a solution
To keep love strong
To keep us both turned on
A cocktail of delusion
Meets skin on skin
To keep the walls from closing in

You said it wasn’t electric
Just something you turn off and on
But, here comes the unexpected
It was fading all along

I’m invisible, you’re invisible, oh it’s criminal what we’ve become
Nothing’s right or clear, like was it ever here, did a tree fall in the woods alone?
Oh I’m invisible, you’re invisible, it’s a poison we don’t drink alone.
You can’t taste or hear it just disappears in a bright white flash and it gone.
Cuz we’re invisible, we’re invisible, we stared straight at the sun for too long.
We watched as our best years, vanished to thin air, now we’re invisible in love
