jacq28 Music and the arts have been invaluable during these difficult times. So great something positive and totally wonderful like this song has come out of it. Great catchy melody, fabulous vocals and harmonies, tremendous mastering and of course love the art work #lockdown2020 #makingmusicinlockdown

about

A fun little pop ditty I wrote in collaboration with my girlfriend whilst in pandemic-induced lockdown. An exercise in the limitations of cheap bedroom recording facilities and music software programming.

lyrics

D.I.T.T.O...

Verse 1

Take your time, slow your wheels
Think the thought and fight it
Temper tides a little low
Just the twilight invited

Simultaneous minds
Will combine when the time’s right
So for now I’ll let it go
Glide alongside my mind’s eye

Come a little closer, there’s much
I need you to know...

(Ditto)

And if I was bold, I would tell you it all
Why must I refrain?
Maybe you are braver than me
Or just maybe you’re the same

Youthful and young, independently strung
Up there to dry
I’ve held this on the tip of my tongue
For so long I’ve had to lie

(Then you said) Come a little closer, there's much
I’ve been meaning to say
Before you’d even let your lips touch
I’d said it already

(Chorus 1)

Chorus

Boy while you’ve been taking your time
I’ve been thinking a lot
Boy while you’ve been making your mind up
I’ve been joining up those dots
You say you’ve had your fun
But now you’re looking for love
You want to find someone
That’s just what I was thinking of…
(Chorus 2 - That and all of the above)

Verse 2

Took my aim, hedged my bet,
Shot the bullet to bite it
Held my horses set to get,
Just so that I wouldn't go quite… (yet)

[Yet] You held your own nerves of steel
Kept it in your folder
Funny how a little stone
Holds the weight of a boulder

Before you opened up your mouth to say…

(Chorus 2)

Outro/(Chorus 3)

(Repeated line) D.I.T.T.O babe, do I tell thee or wait?
