A few years ago I was lucky enough to spend some time singing in a band with a dear friend of mine, culminating in a concert at Fundacio de Joan Miro up on Montjuic. The group wrote a few of their own songs, and the following is one that I re-wrote to try and make it scan better and make a little more sense of the wording (it was originally written in Cataln and then very roughly translated, so while the bones of it were there, it was quite hard to sing)
I sat up all night trying to understand the message of the original lyrics so that I wouldn't inadvertently offend the original composer, and finally came up with this. In the end it worked pretty well, I think, and was a really fun one to sing.
Contemplating my reflection
In the glass I see my dreams
An image of perfection
When you were by my side
You shook my heart
You and me have an affinity
Like I've never felt before
Seducing me with sincerity
It's beautiful
Good things happen
When we're together
I see this love
Echo back to me
Spinning out into forever
Flawless images shattered
See us shine, feeling free and defiant
Now is all that matters
With you here
I don't have to hide my faults
You and me have synchronicity
Like I've never felt before
Seducing me with sincerity
It's glorious
A life of pain
and indecision
You changed my world
I'm searching for
A different vision
Tell me I'm not dreaming
That we're moving in the same direction
Show me what I want
Show me connection
When I see my spirit mirrored
In your eyes, I feel brand new
You mirror all the best of me
It's beautiful
Say our love's no hall of mirrors
Mere illusion and refracted light
Show me what I want
Come here, hold me tight
The mirror shows me an infinity
Of the confidence we share
Seducing me with sincerity
It's powerful
I see your face (x3)
