Lovesick

Story Behind The Song

Written about when I used to work certain jobs where people would just complain about their relationships all day, but never do anything to make it better. It was like they were more interested in the drama then being happy.

Song Description

It's about a love-hate relationship you have with someone, and what you're willing to go through to be with that person. Sometimes people will stay together despite being miserable and just make each other's lives hell. The music is pop rock but has almost a sinister vibe to it.

Tempo Slow (71 - 90) Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Mood Stressed, Anxious Subject Dysfunctional Relations, Heartbreak

Lyrics

Lovesick

Verse:
Lovesick on the inside, I can't hide,
The pain I feel I can't hide any longer,
Once more I broke stride, I turned wide,
Couldn't see the other side of the street,

Suffocate, I won't accept my fate,
cuz what kills me makes me stronger,
Break me, take me, love me,
Go ahead, stand me back up on my feet,

Prechorus:
Oh, I'm going under,
Oh, I can hear the thunder,

Chorus:
You've got me Lovesick, I'm waiting for you,
You've got me lovesick baby,
You've got me lovesick, Darling it's true,
You've got me lovesick, Take me home to where I belong,

Verse 2:
Lovesick but I don't mind, I've been blind,
for so long, but when I'm with you I see,
Hang on, hold tight, I won't lie,
I can't guarantee that I can set us free,

Separate the weak from the great,
So you can see what's worth your time,
Don't tell me that it's too late,
Cuz I just might cut loose my mind,

Bridge:
You've got me lovesick, baby, what can I do?
You've got me lovesick, baby, what's in it for you?
You've got me, you've got me, you've got me lovesick,
what can I do do do for youa?

Verse 3:
Lovesick on the inside, I can't hide,
The pain I feel I can't hide any longer,
Once more I broke stride, I turned wide,
Couldn't see, the other side of the street,

But if you give me one more chance I,
I just might turn this around,
I won't be another mistake,
think it's time what's lost was found,

Bridge 2:
You've got me lovesick, baby,
what can I do,
You've got me lovesick, baby,
what's in it for you?
You've got me, You've got me,
You've got me, love love sick sick yeah!

Nice piece with a good, driving beat and really good instrumentation. The drum work really grabs me.

Wow, this song has immediate impact. Great intro. I like the lovesick lyric theme. Great instrumentation. Excellent, committed, compelling vocal performance. This is very catchy to the extent that I can sing it back to myself after hearing it twice. Sonically I like the fact that it sounds as if it was recorded with the inputs almost at the point where distortion kicks in. Overall the song sounds like a cross between two English bands; the early work of The Stranglers and another English group Madness.

Dynamite introduction - love the innovative approach not heard very often in rock intros. Strongest point: the passion in the vocals. Really great hook. Love the thunder/under rhyme. Drummer sounds excellent. Tight band. All players sound fantastic. I can see people dancing to this, also might make a really great music video. Nice mix and production. Love the double words on the ending.
