Story behind the song

Just one of those things...

Lyrics

I never cared for etiquette some things just never cross my mind
so why do I remember this?
I suffer no delusions - I’ve never really had the time
There are some things I’d rather miss

I won’t predict just when it falls apart
I only hope it leads to better things
And it may cause distress before it even starts
And leave us guessing what tomorrow brings
And leave us guessing what tomorrow brings

I’m all wrapped up around the promise of a
Tender heart

I spoke of inspiration like a tired old picture movie
That leaves its viewer uninvolved
It occurs to me from time to time you never really knew me
Like most things somewhat unresolved

I won’t suggest life owes us clarity
I only hope it leads to better things
I never doubted your sincerity
But I’m still guessing what tomorrow brings
But I’m still guessing what tomorrow brings

I’m all wrapped up around the promise of a
Tender heart

And when the movie credits roll and I’m left waiting in the wings
What will be our legacy?
Both aching for what was and agonizing for much better things
I’ll be terrified to let it be

They say to let the cards fall where they may
But colors sometimes fade to grey
I know not everyone sees better days
And there is nothing time can’t take away
And there is nothing time can’t take away

I’m all wrapped up around the promise of a 
Tender heart

Top job, both of you!  Really enjoyed this.  If I had heard this on the radio, I would have assumed it was Nora Jones!!! - John

Class work all around--great production & mix Jeff, and a very strong performance from Jen. Really, her voice & phrasing are perfect here, and she's mixed right up front--exactly where her voice belongs in the mix. 

Love the Rhodes-flav & the pno fours, & the drums are just right. The restrained & tasteful lead--yes! Oh my God, and you fade on the lead! Awesome!

Kudos on a great track, guys!

Jeff and Jen, 

this is....wonderful!
I love it. Your voices in the harmony parts! This is heavenly!
Doesn´t get any better. Smooth rhodes, piano, guitars, drums!
This is a top-production. 

So Jeff, back from the Garage or just an excursion here?

Cheers from Frankfurt
