“Useless”    (Wait for the synth) rough

The original version of this tune dates way back to 1928. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #521 by Glenn Miller

Jussi and Natasha arrived at the studio first and were just setting up when Jussi started playing the intro to "Lipstick and Ash " and Natasha began to fill out the strings.

By the time the rest of the band arrived the idea was pretty well formed and the song, cinematic post rock, is unusual as the drums and bass only feature for 8 bars, the rest being strings and guitar.

Laxá & Heima Kvartett are:
Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
Natasha Guðmundsdóttir - Viola
Ída Sigurðardóttir - Cello

Lyrics :

As I sit here beside you
Staring into your eyes
Loving everything about you
From your laugh to your smile

The picture is perfect
And I just don't understand
This impulse I have
To be holding your hand

And if I were holding your hand
I'd wanna feel your head lean against my chest
I like to think that would make me blind to this desire I have to feel your lips against mine
(bridge:)
There's something I need
Just something to feed on
A hand to hold onto
A shoulder to lean on
(chorus:)
And now I'm here beside you
I should be grateful just for living 
But even if I were inside you
There would still be something missing

Some are happy just by taking
Others are happy just by giving
But no matter what I do
There's just always something missing
(verse)
No matter how much I wanna feel
Or how much I wanna love
I always end up in the same place
Where I just watch you fly above

I almost feel like I'm like you
Yet I never feel quite human
Wish you could show me it's untrue
Just some paranoÏd delusion

I guess it all sounds kinda dumb
Cause after all, we all feel the same way
Just trying to make ourselves numb
While we're waiting for our Heyday
(bridge)
(First chorus)
(Second chorus:)
I've never liked to take
And I'm kinda tired of giving
I feel my bones start to break
Under the weight of something missing

As my hands start to shake
And the room seems to be spinning
If I took all I could take
Would there still be something missing ?
