Just Maybe

from Shallow by Myke Mazzei

/

about

"Just Maybe" is maybe the most sombre song I've ever released. for sure, there are other, bleaker gems in my archives, but this takes the cake for being on an actual release!

It was late at night when I set my recording system up with just one microphone and sat in front of it in a creaky chair (see if you can hear it!) playing random chords and expounding on how love will save the world. I was down and out, and this song was the only way out of it for me. The actual running time is probably over 25 minutes and raggedly unlistenable, but my edit (presented here, in reverby stereo!) runs just shy of the 5-minute mark.

Enjoy!

lyrics

Maybe love will save the world from total disaster
Maybe love could save us all from those nuclear reactors
Maybe love could save this song from gettin' too "out there"
Maybe love could save us all from gettin' colder

I'm goin' [down]... (only in the unedited version)

People trapped in submarines
People trapped on movie screens
People dyin' in their dreams
What's the point? It's all a dream

A dream.
All a dream.
All a dream.
All a dream.
All a dream.
Your love.
Your kisses.
Your sweet caresses.
All a dream.
All a dream.
All a dream...

I wanna go back to how it was before.
I wanna go back, I wanna open all those old wooden doors.
I wanna go back, I wanna go back to before--
I knew you then
How I knew you then
To how I knew you then
To how I knew you then.
I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back
So bad.
So, so bad.
So bad.
So bad.
So bad.

Maybe love.
Maybe love.
