Cosmo Sheldrake - By Being With You

Listen to the new album Eye To The Ear here:
found.ee/eyetotheear
This is a song I wrote for Flora. I had been listening to a lot of Andean and Latin American music at the time which might have rubbed off. The tune emerged from a little guitar melody I had been playing around with for a while. The lyrics emerged a fair while later. I have always been inspired by the way Oscar Wilde personified seasons and animals and processes in some of his short stories so it’s possible that this influence may have also worked its way in somehow.
Lyrics:
I’ll be the moon
You’ll be the sun
We’ll make the day glow
You’ll slowly rise
And I will fall
I’ll be the sky
You’ll be the ground
Under the hillside
We’ll slowly wait and watch it all
I’ll be a bee
You’ll be a bird
We’ll feel the wind blow
I’ll be the rain and you the snow
You’ll be the light
And I’ll be a cloud
Casting a shadow
You’ll bring the shine
And I the shade
You’ll be the morning
I’ll be the day
Dressed by the evening
That melted away
By being with you

[@paintably]

I have a certain love for songs like this that can be viewed as either platonic or romantic, shows how love can take up many forms

[@RangerofRivendell]

Holy cow this personifies everything I want in a romance ... Cosmo is so good at writing love songs!!

HE DID IT AFTER LIKE 10 YEARS HE FINALLY WROTE A LOVE SONG

[@mindyklotz6512]

This made me think about the moon and sun being together in the sky and painting a harmonious pattern with the light and shadow parts compared to trying to destroy one another for their oppositions. We would not be able to come together if we were not also far apart.

[@moontheastroyaut7081]

I like how this song can show which person is which in the relationship: Lets start.
1. The dim moon, The freedom of sky, A Bee (a prey), Gentle Light, And a quiet morning.
2. The harsh sun, The firm ground, A bird (a predator,) Clouds (shade or a storm?), and the business of the day.

[@bagelscoundrel5581]

AINT NO WAY HE DID IT HE FINALLY DID IT AFTER LIKE 10 YEARS HE MADE AN ACTUAL LOVE SONG

[@cjs3838]

Lyrics in case you were interested
I’ll be the moon
You’ll be the sun
We’ll make the day glow
You’ll slowly rise
And I will fall
I’ll be the sky
You’ll be the ground
Under the hillside
We’ll slowly wait and watch it all
I’ll be a bee
You’ll be a bird
We’ll feel the wind blow
I’ll be the rain and you the snow
You’ll be the light
And I’ll be a cloud
Casting a shadow
You’ll bring the shine
And I the shade
You’ll be the morning
I’ll be the day
Dressed by the evening
That melted away
By being with you

[@quimp.s.7355]

[@jazz_monkey]

I can’t listen past 1:26 without thinking about skylanders giants
flynn’s ship theme is baked so deep into my brain

[@ShiroKuro13]

You are my sun Cosmo! You make my day

When I first heard this song it made me so much think about my girlfriend. I did a video cover on the guitar just for her with this song that I'll send to her. The guy that said the song will be played in someone's wedding it's right, maybe that'll be mine.
