It’s a recording week. Huzzah! This month we’re heading in to Awesome Source to record a new Roo’s Radio song which is called Oberland. We have our last practice/writing session this evening.
This song is a first for us as Cec wrote the chorus and then we finished the rest as a band with Cec providing the direction and tone of the song as a whole. I’m pretty impressed with how it’s sounding pre-recording. It’s going to sound even better with multiple guitars and bass and Paul’s magic touch.
The subject matter is a little tricky to explain without it sounding too bleak. It’s based on our interpretation of a true story about a couple staying together in their home in the face of avalanche warnings, which sadly resulted in their death.
Cec’s intention was a positive song, however, and I think it feels positive. I guess there is a certain Romeo and Juliet vibe to it, but it’s about love and certainty and there’s a romance to it that overcomes the sadder aspects.
Anyway, as with other recordings, can’t wait to get this one out to you, so how’s about making do with the lyrics for now?
Oberland
They’re saying we need to leave
Like they said we might so long ago
Remember walking through this door
Remember wanting nothing more
Hold me close and then…
Just let it snow
Let it snow
Just let it snow
My love
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know
My love
Looking out upon our hill
Looking at the life we built
Where everything is beautiful
My darling you’re so beautiful
Just one more kiss goodnight
Just let it snow
Let it snow
Just let it snow
My love
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know
My love
They’ll never understand
There’s nothing more than this to us
This hill
This home
This love
I think I hear the future and
I think it’s time to take my hand
Forever in your arms
Just let it snow
Let it snow
Just let it snow
My love
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know
My love
My home
