I delight in you

A new original song from Songwritings, complete with reworked 1927 video

I delight in you,
find a light in you.
Every day a new
horizon to ride to,
I find in you.
I delight in you.

So work isn’t going so well.
Nobody wants to buy
what they want me to sell.
I come home in the dark
and turn into our street,
where my heart starts to beat.

I delight in you,
find a light in you.
Every day a new
horizon to ride to,
I find in you.

I rise and rationalise,
try not to unravel as I travel through
each daily compromise.
And descending in the lift,
at the end of every shift,
however late, the weight starts to lift.

And if I could change a thing,
I’d change everything,
but for just one thing.

I delight in you,
find a light in you.
Every day a new
horizon to ride to,
I find in you.
I delight in you.

Video contains edited scenes from Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927).

We’ll write more about the song and video in our next post. For now, thanks to everyone who comes along for this ride. Music is a strange and subjective thing to share with the world, but we delight in doing it.

For anyone new here, Songwritings is a conversation between Kate van der Borgh (copywriter, novelist, D&AD Masterclass trainer, singer, musician) and Nick Asbury (copywriter, poet, Perpetual Disappointments Diarist, with a side interest in Tin-Pan-Alley-tinged songwriting). The conversation features original songs, usually written by Nick, then reinterpreted and brought to life with Kate on all instruments and vocals.
