Backstory:
This is a draft version done co-written with Raul Barba. I also have a SUNO version in an EDM style because I have a vocalist in the UK who wants to record this song. I thought about sharing that version, Dylan described it as Epic,but since you can't use AI demos in sync, I thought it best to share this version. The possible changes below are ones that Dylan suggested to the lyrics. I was open to making changes because the song was too long. In this version, the female vocalist mispronounces a few words which is another reason this is considered a draft.
Lyrics:
V1
Perfection is an illusion
We think belongs to someone else
Becoming lost in confusion
Over hurt so deeply felt
V2
Soft brushes from an angel's wing
Darkness fading into dawn
Waiting for my heart to sing (Might remove)
Telling myself to hold on (Might remove)
Chorus
Shivers in the shadows
Makes my blood run cold
Strong Northern winds blow (Dylan thought a different word than strong would be better)
Growing tired growing old (might remove or change this line)
Deep inside I'll find the way (Might remove)
To take the less traveled path (Might remove)
Idols from my yesterday
Don't define who I am
Shivers in the shadows
Shivers in the shadows
Bridge
Behind the darkest clouds
The sun takes away the doubt
V3.
As soft as a warm summer breeze
No need to hide my face in shame
Losing myself in a deep freeze. (probably will rewrite this line)
A number instead of a name
Chorus
Shivers in the shadows
Makes my blood run cold
Strong Northern winds blow (better adjective to describe Northern winds--might change this line entirely)
Growing tired growing old (might remove or change this line)
Deep inside I'll find the way (Might remove)
To take the less traveled path (Might remove)
Idols from my yesterday
Won't write my epitaph
Shivers in the shadows
Shivers in the shadows
