This week’s song from Looking For Buildings is “Field Of View,” a song I co-wrote with Kyle Richards. I really enjoyed building this from a fragment Kyle sent me to start with. 

I was warned 
I might get into something
More than I needed to be
My friends said
“You gotta watch out for this one”
Maybe

Good advice
But I chose to ignore it
It was a chance meant to take
How would I
Know I should believe it
Heartache

Chorus:
There’s not a chance in Hades
I wouldn’t take that chance with you
In the center of my field of view
It’s true and you belong there

One step up
It’s a matter of feeling
I’m feeling more than you know
Two steps back
Taking moments to listen
Hello

Not so bad
Tell our friends we believe in
A love despite our mistakes
You and I
Understanding each other
Keepsakes

Bridge:
Sometimes you know
Something is right and extraordinary
And when you know 
You go right on through
And break into
That rendezvous is you

This week’s song from Looking For Buildings is “Known Diamond,” written and originally performed by Ken Stringfellow. I love this song and recorded it once previously, for the Theme Music group on Facebook:

Since I didn’t write this one, and lyrics are readily available on the web, I won’t put the lyrics here. But here’s a behind-the-scenes video about the song (it won’t be visible until 11 am on July 14).

This week’s song from Looking For Buildings is “Follow,” an oddly bouncy song about a broken relationship. Well, you know, I always had a thing for that bouncy minor key like in “Happy Together”…

The past is a foreign land so this was far away 
When we two met by accident and jumped into the fray
He expected to meet someone else and so in fact did I
 
It was years ago December and the snow was falling down
We laughed and fell together and made angels on the ground
Who needs to take vacation when you’ve got the warmth of two
 
And soon the rest would follow 
 
Chorus:
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
 
It was closer to a blizzard than I ever thought I’d see
We took forever vows among our friends and family
We left together for a honeymoon in sunny climes
 
And soon the rest would follow
 
Chorus:
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
 
It was snowing hard again on another winter day
I asked him where he’ d been and he didn’t want to say
His body was still here but his eyes were far away
 
And soon the rest would follow
 
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led

The year turns round 
the snow returns over and again
 
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow
