ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 269

Looking for a Man

Just for Tonight is a song about clinging onto something that is no longer there, about spending a night with an ex in an effort to try and revive and resuscitate the relationship. Lying to yourself, looking for the short term fix and living in a moment of dangerous make believe.

Produced by Chris Bartholomew 
Written by Grace Savage and Ben Cartwright

UKSC 2017 Winner
BBC Introducing Mixtape by Tom Robinson 5.02.2018

I am so grateful to Luis for adding new colours  to this song with his enchanting voice and impeccable phrasing. He opened a new dimension to say the least.

Raindrops on my window
Echo in my heart
Never-ending winds blow
Tearing us apart.

You protect your distance
I enjoy my space
Bored of coexistence
Scared of losing face.

We both know it's time to stop pretending
Time to let it go
We embraced the imminence of ending
Long ago.

Yet you're still all tenderness and kindness
All I'm thinking of
Is you. Is this our comfortable blindness
Or love, we're still in love?

Rain is slowly painting
Gloomy skies in grey
We are tired of waiting
Who braves out to say.

You're so self-reliant
I'm so self-contained
Helplessly defiant
Painfully constrained.

Yet you're still all tenderness and kindness
All I'm thinking of
Is you. Is this our comfortable blindness
Or love? We're still in love...
