“Nothing So Right” is the 9th track from the original Runaway album. The “BigSpinMix” and “House Party Mix” are featured on the Runaway Revisited album.
Ah, l’amour. This one’s a strong contender for “catchiest” of the bunch. I liked it enough to created a few alternate versions of it, and would likely make more…
I’d say a definite air of (stupid) chivalry influenced creating this song. The thing about a muse is that sometimes it’s the fantasy of what could be that outshines reality. You can’t save someone from themselves. But this is the stuff of romance, I tell you! The challenge of poetry and lyric throughout the ages to woo and coo our way into someone’s heart is an awesome thing. And falling for someone who needs rescuing is as cliché as it comes, but hey, whatever.
Suddenly I’m thinking of Enrique’s “Hero” for some reason…
Nothing So Right (As Loving You)
by Trance Blackman
For some time now it’s been around in my mind
Thoughts of you and me carry on in time
Funny how I seem to have held on for so long
For something love would bring maybe make me strong
When you tell me you’re not ready
I try to hold my soft heart steady
‘Cause something deep inside me knows
My love will follow anywhere she goes
Chorus
Whenever I dream, I dream of kissing you
Whenever I imagine my life, I imagine it with you
Whenever I dream, I dream of holding you
Whatever it takes, I’m gonna hold on,
There’s nothing so right as loving you…
I know you’ve heard it all before, for sure
So what makes my words different, or pure
I think you sense the nature of my tone and voice
But baby I can see you doubt my loving choice
Seems the rough and tumble is your usual
You know me and I offer what’s respectable
So if you want to live life beautiful and free
Set your soul to flight and trust in me
Chorus – Solo
Bridge
I can sense when you pull away
Go hiding somewhere like a stray
God help this heart be patient still
We’ll see the fruits of loving will
Give the gift of holding tight
My dream of loving you tonight… (Hook)
Chorus
