LADY LOVE

Here's one from the fevered imagination of two young teenage boys. I think Krishna came up with the main riff and I came up with the bridge. It's a song about longing and infatuation I guess. When I play or listen to some of our songs from that time, I am pleasantly surprised by our sense of melody and musical direction in them — even though we were completely ignorant about any musical theory, chord progression or other songwriting norms. There's an innocence about this song that appeals to me even today. The video reflects the fantasy-like story of the song when we wrote it — but it's by no means meant to limit the meaning to the listener. Let the song inspire your own fantasies of love.

Sitting in the dark with nothing to do

Sitting all alone baby thinking of you

Ooooh o oh oh o…   Aaaah ah aah aha

And I love you with all my heart

My lady love…you’re my lady love.

 

Sitting here alone lost in thought

Don’t you know you’re all I got

Ooooh o oh oh o…   Aaaah ah aah aha

And I love you with all my heart

My lady love…you’re my lady love

 

My life is so incomplete

Like a bass guitar with no drumbeat

We can get married in the street

And be indiscreet

 

Sitting here lost in my dreams

Life is bittersweet it seems

Ooooh o oh oh o…   Aaaah ah aah aha

And I love you with all my heart

My lady love…you’re my lady love

 

We’ll get old together someday

And watch our grandchildren play

And  I could be your protege

If that’s okay

 

Mmmm… mmmmm…… mmmmm… my lady love

Mmmm… mmmmm…… mmmmm… my lady love
