On August 18th, 2021 I headed up to my friend's off-the-grid cabin above the White Salmon River. My goal was to spend four days slowing down, connecting with nature, getting my hands dirty, and getting some writing done. And taking at least one outdoor shower. To settle in I pulled out the recording kit and got to work on this cover. I have recently been digging back into Paul Baribeau's catalog. I love his lyrics and the punchiness of his songs. I wanted to try putting my spin on one of his tracks, and "If I knew" presented itself as a great option. Those couple hours recording in the cabin slipped away. I found myself more engrossed than I had ever been in the engineering of the song; exploring how reverb, compression, and EQ could affect the dynamics. Even trying to do a bit of mastering! I'm very happy with how it came together and I hope you enjoy it!

This song was written for the PDX Songwriters 2024 52 Song Club. Week 7's prompt was to break the internet with cute love songs, so here's a little love song I wrote to myself. Lyrics below.
--
VERSE 1
Felt you call out my name
Stopped in my tracks again
Lights flashing red and blue
Can’t get away from you
Stone sinking down
Still frightened of that sound

VERSE 2
Haven’t felt like myself
Wear the face of someone else
I still see you peering through
All the lines trace to you
In the dark of night
You’re sitting by your fire

CHORUS
And you, love to see me smile
You know it might happen once in a while
Through all of these years
And all of these tears
It’s called coming home

VERSE 3
Found you in the grotto
Soft light - pale and hollow
Your lovers circled round
Your feet on solid ground
In the holy quiet
They’re always by your side

CHORUS
