Song #6: Girdwood, Alaska
Download MP3 Here!
This is sort of nostalgic song written with Valentine's Day in mind (it's right around the corner, boys, I hope you're making her something)...said girl is no longer my Girlfriend, but she is my girl friend and I still care about her alot despite us going our seperate ways. So yes, this is sort of a personal "Pinkerton" song for me. Lot's o' inside jokes and just insider stuff in general in it, it's a trip down memory lane for me....man oh man.
I think my favorite line and the one that sums up our relationship is "I'm in love with you but I know the timing's off"...and I like all the stuff about Stevie Nicks - my favorite.
I met this guy Marc Broussard last night...ever heard of him? He just toured with Maroon 5 and he's recording his new record here...the song he played me sounded sweet!
Girdwood, Alaska
Lyrics/Music by Matt Hopper
I remember the day we met you had your black leather jacket on
And when you walked by me the whole world stopped for a little while
Later on at my house you grabbed my guitar then you did a little finger picking as you wrapped your fingers around my heart
It’s a tragedy we both can appreciate
Look who fell in love
When their path’s were crossed
I remember seeing you outside of a little club
in the middle of the forest in Girdwood, Alaska
Rumors on your tape deck we were having fun
Stevie Nicks singing Gypsy in the midnight sun
We on a trail and followed it to your mouth
But I can’t help myself and now the pressures on
Mama don’t ask me why I just feel something when I look in her eyes
And why oh why does it hurt so bad to fall in and out of love again?
Yeah we had some good times got to know your father and mother
Snuggling under cover establishing myself as your lover
We’d run around down town drinking coffee by the pound
Walking home in the moonlight searching for the sweetest sounds
I know your not the type to get involved with
But I’m in love with you and I know the timing’s off
Mama don’t ask me why I just can’t help it when I look in her eyes
And why oh why does it hurt so bad to fall in and out of love again?
