Forgive Me - Keith May 2003

Mother, I think I've made a terrible mistake

Lately I've taken the time to see how I sink

One. Last. Gasp. And that's down I go

But we both know I never go alone…

Please don't blame yourself (oh Mama)

I'm ashamed and I can't even help

How you must feel

Forgive me       

Daddy I don't think there is much to say

I know the disappointment that I‘ve made

I admit to being less than grown

Self obsessed and always reaching for the phone

Please don't blame yourself (oh Daddy)

You've guided w/o ever

Casting a single stone never ever losing hope

Daddy please

Forgive me

I can't live as your burden

Loving me shouldn't be so hard

Must this be?

I ask you please

Forgive me

Imagine someone who has lived a selfish life and took for granted the only people who refused to judge. Imagine they had a moment of clarity and asked for forgivness. Pure fantasy.

I came up with the music on the spot at Chuck Bechard's house.  Every part of it.  It was like magic. But the real magic came when I recorded the instruments over a unused drum track I had of Jon Comes.  That's right, Jon recorded that beat to another song of mine.  I particularly enjoy my sloppy organ playing on this track and my Sign 'O the Times era Prince guitar solo on this one.  A huge track that sounds great real loud.
