Spark In the Dark
V1: Those little things, like your laughter brings – Removing this down on my angry frown – Your giggling glow, is the final blow – Constantly craving, the laughter you bring – Chorus: A spark in the dark, a meadowlark – A glimmer of hope to help me cope – A shooting star to take me far – A ray of light breaking through the night – V2: Changing my style with a simple smile – Lifting the weight off my quivering gait – Your chuckling cheers, defeating my fears – Constantly craving, the laughter you bring – V3: Battling my chagrin with your gleeful grin – A counterpart to my heavy heart – Your lingering laugh, left for my behalf – Constantly craving, the laughter you bring
I found this so uplifting, Martin, with such beautiful chords & contrasts in your lyrics. I love how you play with the lyrics. Great arrangement too.
Quite haunting, left me wanting to know why you’d been left alone and why were they laughing, are they taunting or is it a memory of something precious? You don’t have to answer these obviously, just explaining that it left me with many questions which is a sign of a good song I think. Clever rhyming lyrics and haunting tune to accompany. Really nicely produced too.
