Day 7 - Half Past Four

I didn't want to write a song that had the words "you" "I" "me" "they" etc. . . basically no people or feelings that could translate it to be a love song, or a break up song . . . you know what I mean. Do you? ya you do. I was just sitting at my dining table looking out my window and it was half past four . . .  this actually took a couple hours to write . . .

Verse 1 - It's half past four the sun's out 
the sky's clear blue and the wind blows
its friday the house is still 
and the day is open for anything

mini chorus 1 - The days are longer now 
the days are slightly warmer

Verse 2 - Nothing moves within these four walls
nothing breathes
sunlight seeps through the curtains
casting shadows on the floor

mini chorus 2 - The days are brighter now 
the night comes creeping slowly 

Middle 8 - The night differs from the day 
the night takes it all away 
the night turns blue skies grey 

oh . . . oh . . . oh . . . oh . . .


there is a distinct difference in melody between the middle 8 and the rest of the song sorta sounds like its going off in a different direction. It's all intentional.
This was also the first song I record fully and liked. . . then I went back and recorded a few of the other days.
