They sound slightly cheezy on paper but I doubt they will to music..

I like them so far. Although going along with melodies we may have to re-write some lines. For example:

"And I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop"

May need to be written as:

"Just waiting for the other shoe to drop" Or something like that.

Ran them by the roomate, she thinks they're very sweet.

For another song - I've had one line stuck in my head for a while:
"Skinny little white boy" There's a rhythm that goes along with that too...not sure if it works with either song we've got going, perhaps a third.

Just playin' with more lyrics last night

Light creeps in upon your face
It's early yet to rise
I feel you with each heartbeat
And I breathe you with my eyes
Who knows what this new day will bring
It's so far from my mind
My only thought is, "How lucky
You were there for me to find."

And I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop
Just like it has so many times before
But you slip them off so silently as you kiss my lips
I know I've never loved anybody more

The problem I'm having with writing these lyrics is that they sound really fuckin' cheesy to me. Meaning I'll have to play with them more when I have the actual melody. I dunno. I have problems writing happy, sweet love songs. But I guess that's why you're there, isn't it? To tell me when the cheese level is too high.

PS-02 Palmtop studio is absolutely amazing! The Tascam seems a little less user friendly. We'll see.

The PS-02 has some REALLY nice acoustic effects for Breathe You.

OH the ideas are flowing! For the "rock" song I've found some effects which will lend themselves REALLY nicely.
Not too harsh, and with a slight electronic edge. I think some of these will be able to implement later in the recording process as well.

I have two digital recording devices at home! I will send you a CD once I figure out how to get music onto and off of said devices.

Dig the comments on the lyrics.

Note to self: the last verse of "Breathe You" should end with "you" breathing "me." I'd like it to be the moment of him waking up, her perhaps touching his face that makes him wake up, and the two of them sharing one of those beautiful, peaceful, silent moments of total connection.

Once I have the melody, it'll all work out.

Oh, and to expound on something I wrote earlier, I think the line should be "I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop but you slip them off as you kiss my lips." I like that imagery a little better.
