Story Behind The Song
This song was written while I was sitting outside a sunny summer afternoon. My thoughts were of relationships and about making and breaking up. The song is about a familiar smell associated with a loved one. Even after a break up something familiar can conjure up past emotions of love.
Song Description
Calm Down, Baby is song about taking a step back and realizing that all the worrying and fighting in life is not worth the time. Life is too short to be mad all the time. The mood of this song is pleasant and pretty. This song has an unusual structure. It starts off with a verse and a pre chorus and then another verse. It then breaks into two big choruses and an ending. There is a lot of instrumentation and backing vocals all done by the artist.

Lyrics
Calm down, baby, just calm down my dear we'll figure out a way to be ok.
The road I walk won't feel the same without you on the other side of me.
The leaves turn an autumn green. I long for my heart to sing, like this.
Now that you are gone my world has changed. All my memories cling to nothing.
My arms can hold barely a thing the strength they've held is lost inside the wind.
The seams of my heart need sown before the force behind implodes.
Till then I'll sing.
When I open up my eyes I swear I seen your ghost in thin air.
The sunny days blow right by me.
The smell of this place is clear like I knew you once here.
The days seem to drag on for years.
I tried so hard but I can't muster a tear.
The smell of this place is clear like I knew you once here.
Like I knew you once here.
