Arctic Monkeys - No Buses

It's not often when I receive an optimistic song from the universe.

"This Time" is one of those. 

I was quite obsessed about getting this one all done. The first element that came to me was the melodic intro (this song was actually born from a prompt in a songwriting group to write a song with a melodic intro that plays at least twice in the song); most of the melody and the chord progression followed quickly. A few days later I managed to write a lyric that fit.

It's absolutely true that I had some late nights just thinking and obsessing about this song. But I'm so glad that I did, because this is one of those few songs that I've written so far for which I feel so much pride and gratitude to the universe.

Albert Hammond Jr’s fourth solo album Francis Trouble explores a deeply personal topic – the stillborn death of his twin brother, Francis, and the lingering effects that event has had in his life and music.
In November of 1979, Hammond Jr’s mother, Claudia, miscarried. Although they rushed to the hospital, Claudia and Albert Hammond Sr. were told that the baby was far too premature to live. Albert continued to grow inside of his mother undetected until she was nearly six months pregnant.

Lyrics:
I was so quiet 
But you were excited 
Waiting for romance
Someone come talk to me 
Lonely out on this tree
There is a need to feel safe
How do we get to this place
With eyes on my back
I'm set to attack
I've come to take your hand

Hold on (x8)

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do with you

I was so quiet but you were excited
Waiting for the dance
They all just waltzed in a second behind me
I stood there like some dumb kid
The music played and the boys would take you far from where I was
I was still hoping that you were the victory to what felt like love

Hold on (x8)

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do with you

Hold on (x8)
