about
I produced and recorded this song from my bedroom, layering vocal harmonies, keys, and guitar to create a dreamy landscape. I was inspired by the poem "Come, and Be my Baby" by Maya Angelou, as well as my own experience wanting to take refuge in a relationship, but struggling with what it means to love and need someone.
lyrics
move around the furniture
put my keyboard by the bed
stayin in for a while
nightmares in my head
see i’m only human
and maybe this is fate
clear away my life
i can make some space
be my baby
the world us is ending
be my baby
the world around us is crumbling
be my baby
what else can you do?
be my baby
i’ll take care of you
what if everything we know
could just someday disappear
but you held me closer
ease away my fears
i can be a lifeline
and no i’m not ashamed, no, no
nothing wrong with needing, part of living, breathing
baby its okay
be my baby
the world us is ending
be my baby
the world around us is crumbling
be my baby
what else can you do?
be my baby
i’ll take care of you
baby, baby
slow down
baby, baby
slow down
baby, baby
slow down
baby, baby
slow down
