03 The Permanent Rain

"Just Wanted You to Know"
This is a deeply intimate and tender Acoustic Ballad framed as a quiet, direct message to a former partner. The mood is bittersweet, reflective, and warm with nostalgia, focusing on the permanent, priceless value of small, shared memories rather than the pain of loss.

Musical Style & Vibe
Genre: Folk / Acoustic Singer-Songwriter / Melancholy Pop Ballad.

Vibe: Intimate, conversational, and raw. The song should sound like it was recorded late at night in a living room. The lyrics are actually inspired by a cold, wet night camping near to Spiddal Pier in Galway.

Instrumentation: Highly minimalist. Primarily requires one close-mic'd acoustic guitar (preferably fingerpicked, not aggressively strummed) and very subtle, atmospheric string or pad work to elevate the choruses. Drums and percussion should be used sparingly—perhaps just a soft kick/snare pattern or subtle brush taps in the chorus, or even left out completely for maximum intimacy.

Tempo: Very slow, around 60-70 BPM. The rhythm should follow the natural conversational flow of the lyrics.

Vocal Requirements & Direction
Vocal Range: The song is written for a Male Vocalist with a comfortable Baritone or low Tenor range. Crucially, the song is built around an intimate, low-register delivery and must avoid any high-note belting or vocal acrobatics.

Performance: The vocal performance must sound conversational and slightly broken with emotion at times. The delivery should be quiet, almost whispered in parts, particularly in the verses, conveying the feeling that the singer is physically sitting close to the subject. The power comes from vulnerability, not volume.

Key Moments: The end of the Bridge and the Outro contain essential [spoken/whispered] lines that require sensitive, quiet delivery to maximise emotional impact.

Core Theme for Artists
The song offers a vocalist a powerful opportunity to showcase their ability to deliver pure, restrained emotion and storytelling over technical skill. It is an exploration of a miracle found not in grand gestures, but in the micro-expressions of a loved one's face.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Remember that time, just watching you sleep?
I'd check your breathing, a secret I'd keep.
I’d use my finger, so careful and slow,
To lift a strand of hair, just so you wouldn't know.
And my palm would follow, a touch on your face,
Just feeling the peace of that moment and place.

(Pre-Chorus)
You'd give me that smile—that little, tired thing—
And you made me believe in everything.

(Chorus)
And I’m just telling you, my eyes still fill up.
It's not sadness, it’s a brimming cup
Of something I saw, a miracle I knew.
And that memory's priceless, baby, all because of you.
Yeah, I miss you, but I won’t complain,
I’ve got the kind of treasure gold could never gain.

(Verse 2)
It wasn't just how you looked in the light,
It was watching your thoughts as they moved through the night.
The way your eyes would shift, that sideways, quick glance,
You'd mouth a silent word, giving thought a chance.
That little movement, your expression would change,
A whole living story you never had to arrange.

(Pre-Chorus)
You were a canvas that moved and that breathed,
The purest work of art I ever believed.

(Chorus)
And I’m just telling you, my eyes still fill up.
It's not sadness, it’s a brimming cup
Of something I saw, a miracle I knew.
And that memory's priceless, baby, all because of you.
Yeah, I miss you, but I won’t complain,
I’ve got the kind of treasure gold could never gain.

(Bridge)
I wouldn't trade that moment for anything you could buy.
It's tucked right here, something I hold high.
A perfect picture, breathing in my mind,
The best that I had, the best I could find.

(Outro - Spoken/Whispered)
Just wanted you to know...
I still see that smile.
Yeah.
I still see it.

...never to see any other way...

you know she likes acoustic
likes those sad songs
she likes to play my heartstrings
likes to sing along
a knife deep in my back
it feels so wrong
a killer dressed in all black
with her make up on

you know she likes acoustic
likes those sad songs
she likes to play my heartstrings
likes to sing along
a knife deep in my back
it feels so wrong
a killer dressed in all black
with her make up on

i wonder why
things change in time
but you don't mind
you'll be just fine

'cause you'll cover it all up

with all those drugs
your lack of trust
addiction to lust
could you give a fuck?

i don't think that's possible
you make it so impossible
she looks adorable
i feel so horrible

you know she likes acoustic
likes those sad songs
she likes to play my heartstrings
likes to sing along
a knife deep in my back
it feels so wrong
a killer dressed in all black
with her make up on

you know she likes acoustic
likes those sad songs
she likes to play my heartstrings
likes to sing along
a knife deep in my back
it feels so wrong
a killer dressed in all black
with her make up on

lyrics:
when the phone rings, there’s nothing to say
cause i’m wasting another fucking day
i know that i should get up
but i’m stuck in my head in this bed
and the walls are singing me to sleep
i know you’ve heard it all before
but i really cant sleep in anymore

i hope you’re sleeping well tonight
while i am running for my life
someone save me, i need it lately
someone save me, i’m going crazy

now i’m listening to those old songs
we listened in your room
and singing the words back to
but it’s better if you do 
i know nothing stays the same
i know everything will change

i remember every word you said when you’re laying in your fucking bed
and now they’re running round my head, got me feeling dead wrong 
keep the window shade shut, keep the door locked
keep my eyes closed, keep the lights off
no one is fucking home

i’m so nostalgic for a time that really wasn’t much better
romanticise the past that’s ever changing like this weather
i know all of this but persist with these thoughts
is that delusion or hope I guess i’ll never know

Nobody's Happy (feat. Kellin Quinn)

Fossil Youth - "Nobody's Happy (feat. Kellin Quinn)"

lyrics:

i never learned how to swim good
so you had to dive down
into the bottom of the deep end
and pull me right out 
know i never need a reminder 
i could lose it all in a moment
a lot of people i saw at their worst times
never found a way how to show it

maybe cold, cold water
could bring me back to you
if i need to, if i need to
maybe cold, cold water
could bring me back to life
because i can’t see tomorrow
for a moment past tonight 

eyes closed
i didn’t want to see it
with eyes closed
you can choose what to believe in
paper crowns on empty bodies
won’t stay on the under the surface 
know i’ll never need a reminder
i could lose it all in a moment
drop the world off onto my shoulders 
i’d sink myself just to hold it

(chorus)

Never let this go - Paramore
