The goal of this song was to create something that sounded like a retro jazz ballad. I remember this is one of the few recordings where I used an actual upright piano to play the keys parts. Normally I don&#8217;t use upright pianos because they&#8217;re always a tad out of tune, but that effect worked very well on this song to give it an authentic retro feel.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To my memory, the sax parts are synth saxes with a real saxophone player on top who also plays the sax solo.<\/p>\n<p>There was one lyric that always bothered me but I never knew why. Now, looking back on the lyrics I can see clearly what the issue is. In the bridge I have three lines in a row that rhyme at the end with &#8220;day&#8221;, &#8220;say&#8221; and &#8220;stay&#8221;. There is no punch with the last rhyme because &#8220;say&#8221; has already closed the rhyme loop. In addition, &#8220;say&#8221; and &#8220;stay&#8221; are so close that I think the ear hears them more as the same word rather than an impactful rhyme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LYRICS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just tell me<br \/>\nYou want me<br \/>\nTo stay a couple more hours<br \/>\nAnd then when that time is through<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll take that couple more hours<br \/>\nAnd turn them into a few<\/p>\n<p>But I will lie here silently<br \/>\nWith my secret blues<br \/>\n\u2018Cuz you don\u2019t even know<br \/>\nThat I\u2019m in love with you<\/p>\n<p>I want you to tell me you love me too<br \/>\nBut I may never ever see that day<br \/>\nSo til I hear what I want you to say<br \/>\nJust tell me you want me to stay<\/p>\n<p>And so I lie here silently<br \/>\nWith my secret blues<br \/>\n\u2018Cuz you don\u2019t even know<br \/>\nThat I\u2019m in love with you<\/p>\n<p>(Instrumental Break)<\/p>\n<p>I want you to tell me<br \/>\nYou love me too<br \/>\nBut I may never ever see that day<br \/>\nSo til I hear what I want you to say<br \/>\nJust tell me you want me to stay<\/p>\n<p>And so I lie here silently<br \/>\nWith my secret blues<br \/>\n\u2018Cuz you don\u2019t even know<br \/>\nThat I\u2019m in love with you<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t even know<br \/>\nThat I\u2019m in love with you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music and Lyrics by Conrad Askland (ASCAP). &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Even Know&#8221; \u00a9 1997 Conrad Askland.
