Une rose danse sur l'eau – Original emotional Piano

I wrote this song after seeing a friend lose their loved one, and how they coped.  It made me wonder how I would move forward if I was to lose the love of my life.   

I've been back and forth whether I should release this track because lyrically it is very direct and personal, and in general, as a songwriter, it's a rule of thumb that released songs should be more relatable and broad in terms of their emotions and lyrics.  But, I'm at a time in my life where I don't really care :)  I've been finding that I've been following too many songwriting "rules" and now I just want to release music and if a song happens to connect with someone else then I consider that a win.

This song was written on piano and then given to composer Oliver Lodge who understood exactly the vibe I was after.  It's definitely got a musical theater element to it.

Thank you for listening xxx. (Lyrics below)

TEA and TOAST
© Joanna Finnis

There’s some things I love most
Rainy mornings, tea and toast
Curled up by the fireside
My favorite book, apple pie

There’s some things I detest
Scary movies, private access
Walking hills, macaroons
Losing you, way too soon

Swimming never was my scene
I’m drowning in our memories
Pull me out, I need some air
It’s not my time to join you there

Here’s some things I’ve learned to like
Cappuccinos, morning hikes
Sandy feet, waiting in lines
Top 40 hits, my aging lines

Here’s some things I sorely miss
Your stupid jokes, your soggy kiss
Laundry on the bedroom floor
Making love, the way you snore

Swimming never was my scene
I’m drowning in our memories
Pull me out, I need some air
It’s not my time to join you there

Here’s some things I regret
Banging doors and arguments
Wasted moments, staying sore
Not saying ‘I Love You’ more

Here’s some things I look forward to
Sunset beaches, foreign foods
Springtime gardens, writing tunes
My final breath, joining you
