songs for a girl I loved for 48 hours

you cried when you heard this.

This post is an accompaniment to this letter:

we were in love for 48 hours

1. Crush

This song is, admittedly, not about you. But we filmed a music video for it, my first music video, one I’ll never release.

It’s about that feeling you get when you meet someone new.

Here’s the very first demo version:

2. Something That’s Real (demo)

A few days after I met you, I was lying in the grass at Riverside park along the Hudson, and it felt like the rhythm of earth was speaking through me. It gave me a rhythm, then a melody, then the words to go with it.

It’s about a love that feels natural, organic, real.

3. I Think She Likes Me (demo)

I wrote this after walking you home that first night, about that moment we spent on the bench beside the grass. How I almost leaned in and kissed you. It’s kind of a goofy song. But it’s also sad. And when you heard it you cried.
