Song information
This is a song from my 2021 RMP Challenge work A Promising Beginning. Like a lot of years I had no idea what I was going to do going into it and by the end of the second week of February I pretty much figured it would be a no-go for that year. Then, as they often do, an idea hit me while I was taking a shower as I was getting ready for work. I got to my computer (once I was dry and dressed) and made some notes on lyrics, titles and general ideas I came up with, hoping by the time I got home it would all make sense and I could spur the vague ideas into shape.

I eventually had eight song ideas, four of which I was able to complete in a satisfactory manner. (The other four range from 90 percent finished to just a title with few bars of music and a few lyrics - none of which are really worth finishing.) This was the last of the four songs and the most straightforward pop song of the bunch.

Lyrics
Directions To My House
©2021 Joseph Gurner

Take the highway south
first right that you find
three miles out of town

The house looks empty
even when I’m home
come over any time


When I hear your car
coming up the street
I hope this time 
you will stay

When I see your car
drive away
I know
you’ll come back again


The neighborhood is quiet
just some dogs barking in the dark
but I can’t sleep 
tonight

Dark TV screen
silence deafens me
with the emptiness I’ve built


When I hear your car
coming up the street

I hope this time you will stay

When I see your car
drive away

I hope

you’ll come back again


Take the highway south
three miles out of town
take the first left that you find

Take the highway south

take the highway home

Like trance/pop. Alright we're grooving. Keys make a gentle appearance. Vocals have a little bit of that Devo "Whip It" feel. I like the chorus. I feel like a soft pad could give it a little boost/support. I like the title a lot and it really gives the perfect context to the lyrics and the character. Cool tune!
