Song information
I wrote this in June 5, 2012. Those were the days I did not know how to record in multitracks. So I recorded the track live, and sent to Lafayette (Patrick Poulou ... rest his soul). The produced the wonderful instrumentation around my one-take MP3 track. This is one of my treasures. Am very happy to share this with you! Patrick...thank you very much!

Lyrics
I’m Like A Firefly
copyright June 5, 2012 Stan Loh
VERSE 1
I’m like a firefly trapped in a jar,
And my light’s about to go,
I’m like a child gone too far,
I find it hard to glow.
Can I keep on shining?
This light’s about to fade,
A shadow is looming,
Over the dark side instead.
There’re times I tried to reach you,
But end in self-defeat, 
The glass between you and me,
A curtain that cannot break,
If you are my fix, then darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you.
Instrumental   F   Am/ Em   Am  F   Am
VERSE 2
My light can’t say goodbye, after all these years,
Your flame is part of me,
Oh you switch me on with your smile,
Darling, what will I be?
My light knows no darkness,
No twilight emptiness,
Ever since we tied the knot,
Those vows I ain’t forgot,
Please don’t flame me out,
Don’t douse my light throughout,
I beg for you to give me a chance,
For love to soon rebuild,
Cause you’ve been my fix, oh darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you … yes I love you…I love you.
Instrumental   F   Am/  F   Am/  F
Outro
Can I keep on shining?
This light’s about to fade,
A shadow is looming,
Over the dark side instead.
There’re times I tried to reach you,
But end in self-defeat, 
This glass between you and me,
A curtain that cannot break,
If you are my fix, then darling … I need a fix…
Cause I love you…I love you…I love you

Chilling me out! Perfect for laying in bed before sleep. Enjoying your vocals, lots of personality. Uniquely you. Spacious mix and well balanced in my opinion. All the tones from voice to keys to guitar have clear character and are nice to listen to. Relatable authentic expression.

Glad you held on to part of the memory. This combo proves music can still have drama over just a steady beat.
