Naked (Rough Cut) (Patreon)

I have another Firefly song. It'll be out on the next In the 'Verse podcast as soon as I get off my arse and post it. 

"Naked" is inspired by the episode Trash. I started work on it at the end of last month and I'm still trying to fine tune the lyrics. This is just the first incarnation. I've rewritten it a dozen times at least.

Well, at least with the lyrics.

The music... well, that's the reason I keep rewriting. I LOVE THE MUSIC. It's got such a great melody to me. And a very different strum pattern on the autoharp. 

The music was in part inspired by some random song I heard on Spotify. Literally, random. I don't remember where I found the song and I MIGHT be able to find it again... But I loved the rhythm and the chord change and though... "Hmm. Let's do that."

Then I added that vocal climb. I feel like that was inspired by something too. But I couldn't tell you by what... something out of the 80's. It feels like a major flashback.

The story of the lyrics starts of course with YoSaffBridge from the episode Trash. But then it turns into a song about letting down  your guard in a relationship. 

It's tough opening up in a relationship. I know it was for me. So this song is about becoming emotionally naked so that you can find a little more happiness in life with someone you love.
