Love Letter
Meet The Writer: Brigid Sax
"Love Letter" is a piece written to a Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish type beat. The piece was based off of a time in my life where I was constantly questioning my self worth. I wanted to create a piece that spoke on the “what if" questions often thought over after a relationship ends or a potential one is lost. I used this sad piano type beat to create the feelings of sorrow and loss. The lyrics are meant to move through the motions of questioning yourself and realizing that things may not have ever worked out the way you planned them and that maybe that is okay. I decided to use the pop genre for this song because I wanted to use the traditional verse-chorus song structure and talk about love which is a common theme in pop songs. The song is slow in rhythm, in the hopes that those listening can reflect on their own experiences.
LYRICS
Is it something I said?
Made you want to turn away
Did I make you upset?
I just want to make sure you’re okay
I wish I knew where we went wrong
My heart still stops when I hear our song
I know I’m easy to erase
But before you walk away
Oh, I could have been your second chance
I could have been your one romance
But you looked right through me
Oh, I could have been your final dance
You could’ve felt my love in every glance
But you looked right through me
Does she make you feel better?
Because clearly she was the better choice
Would you write you this love letter?
You’d only hear it in my voice
I wish I knew where we went wrong
My heart still stops when I hear our song
I know I’m easy to erase
But before you walk away
Oh, I could have been your second chance
I could have been your one romance
But you looked right through me
Oh, I could have been your final dance
You could’ve felt my love in every glance
But you looked right through me
Did you ever want that from me?
Did you ever want that from me?
