about

Due to the surprising popularity of this track, a Music Video is currently in development once again with collaboration with production company 'The Light Pirate'

I wrote this based on the 2 romantic leads of the TV Comedy 'The Office' while their love was developing in the early seasons of the show while the character of Roy (Pam's fiancé at the time) was still around.

I had been listening to Jenna Fischer's (the actress who played Pam) audiobook, 'The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide' which was not only a help to my being an Actor in Australia, but I had also noticed the fondness she had in her voice talking about her time on sets and the relationships she had as the character Pam. In another section, she talked about TV commercial castings and how to keep the acting 'real'/ being a 'real person' - which helped in how straightforward the Chorus lyric was. I can be quite verbose - as evidence in these small blurbs you're reading for this EP - but hearing that advice helped simplify the writing for the song.

As always, I'm a big fan of incorporating some element of the 80's in there somewhere, which is pulled off by the recurring synth sounds throughout.

lyrics

I once
I once had visions
once had visions about you

I was
I wasn't kidding
when I told you I loved you

PRE CH 1
Now it might seem like that was truth or dare
but it looks like you were caught unaware
If it's one thing or another, I can't stand being the fool
always asking:

CH
Are you somebody
that needs somebody
but got somebody too?
Isn't it funny
how there's nobody
how there's nobody like you?

Enough of indecision
'bout what it is that I'm gonna do
Because, I'm only winning
when I'm betting against you

PRE CH 2
Once upon a time I would stop and stare
(you say you could get it)
anytime, any place almost anywhere
(but would you really want it?)
But it's one thing or another, always being a fool
always asking

CH

PRE CH 1
