I put myself in the shoes of a loved one recently and the following words sprouted forth. With the simple little tune, played on my new $99 martinez nylon acoustic, it’s my favourite song yet.

Despite (Sarah G)

V1
I don’t hear no music
I don’t hear no silence
I just hear the thumping of my heart
I don’t feel no pain now
I don’t feel no joy
I just feel you close to me deep in my heart.

Chorus -
Cos when I close my eyes,
I only see one sight,
It’s that your love hasn’t faded,
Despite, despite, despite.

V2
I don’t taste no flavours,
I don’t smell no fear,
but all my senses are heightened,
Just wishing you were here.
I don’t see no evil,
I don’t see no sense,
I don’t see no nothing,
I see you instead.

Repeat v1
