One of the most magical singer-songwriter songs I've ever heard!

Phildel

Not Yours Never Was

A unique journey, Strange Ships is a universe spell, encompassing human experience, stasis, the rock cycle and forces of nature.

Strange Ships (Universe Spell Mix)

Written, produced and mixed by Austen Moret

VERSE I
I never thought I’d be just another phone call
Some kid you read about, the bottom of page three
Some story or headline you forgot in no time 
Guess my hearts upon my sleeve, an awful sight to see

PRE CHORUS
So picture me in the back of a cop car
Broken limbs, dirty mess cause you’re so far
If you’re gone, would you come back if I bleed?

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

VERSE II
I’m driving my car, as if it were burning 
I may not survive, but that’s not the point 
Cause if I die slowly, then maybe you’d love me
And this is all inside my head, but it helps me to sleep

PRE CHORUS
So picture me in the street, by the wayside
Broken limbs, dirty mess, would it make you cry?
If you’re gone, would you come back if I bleed?

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

BRIDGE
In twenty seconds maybe I’ll be gone
I did it all, just to see your face
The paramedics say I’m hangin’ on 
Cause I don't wanna be here all alone

CHORUS
You and I are amazing
It wasn’t fiction in my mind
You and I are amazing
I love you more and more each time

Liner Notes:
This is my first song for the month.  I loved this skirmish prompt from  and Liz's take on it resonated with me deeply. (FYI, a "Skirmish" is a group songwriting sprint. A time is announced, a prompt given, and then everyone has 1 HOUR to write a song.)

Liz says: I’m so grateful that Tara brought her beautiful music and insightful sensibility to create this moving gorgeous song from lyrics I quickly wrote for a skirmish. Her tweaks and nuanced delivery elevated the poignancy I was trying to convey.

Lyrics
If That Were To Happen 
©️Liz Petty and Tara Craig 2024 

C 
when I dream about the future 
I dream about us 
about growing old together 
with deep lasting love…. 
but then I wake up and wonder 
if that will be enough 
it’s not you it's the future 
that I can't trust… 

V1 
maybe I’ll grow more hair 
on my chin than my head 
if that were to happen 
would you still love me then? 

maybe I’ll forget that 
you were ever my wife 
if that were to happen 
what would become of our life? 

PC 
maybe oh maybe 
we were meant to be 
but baby oh baby 
that’s not up to me 

C 
when I dream about the future 
I dream about us 
about growing old together 
with deep lasting love…. 
but then I wake up and wonder 
if that will be enough 
it’s not you it's the future 
that I don't trust… 

V1 
maybe I’ll stumble 
into the depths of despair 
if that were to happen 
would you ever find me there? 

maybe I’ll see you out 
in another’s arms 
if that were to happen 
would I live without warmth? 

PC 
maybe oh maybe 
we were meant to be 
but baby oh baby 
that’s not up to me 

C 
when I dream about the future 
I dream about us 
about growing old together 
with deep lasting love…. 
but then I wake up and wonder 
if love will be enough 
it’s not you it's future 
that I don't trust… 

B 
maybe we’ll grow old together 
with deep and lasting love 
but even if that doesn’t happen 
 I’ll know this love was enough 

  OUTRO 
 oh even if that doesn’t happen   
I know this love was enough 
I know this was enough
