Appreciation

from The Four Corners by Myke Mazzei

/

about

I wrote the poem "Appreciation" as part of a college assignment on forms of love, in 2002. The fairly descriptive and somewhat sensual imagery in this song, which I'm normally apprehensive about putting out in public, comes from showcasing a variety of these love types! Also, I wrote it for a girl.

This is an updated recording/mix, replacing the 2002 vocal with a much, much stronger vocal performance in 2010 (and adding 3-part harmonies!), and cleaning up the general muddiness of the lo-fi tracking.

lyrics

Don't think I don't notice the way you brush your hair
How the light beams make it shimmer in the early morning air
That it falls upon your cheerful face
A subtle smile, an endless grace
There's nothing you can do to chase this beauty soft and fair

Don't pretend to look away every single time
I catch your eyes upon me, the intensity sublime
A casual glance my way at first
Then desire and lust, and passionate thirst
You're my sweet temptation at worst; your eyes are safe in mine

Don't stop sharing with me your wild and charming ways
A voice so filled with laughter sets imagination ablaze
Excitement never seems so clear
As when you whisper in my ear
I love you every time I hear your voice, you fill my days
I love you every time I hear your voice...
