about

Being in Love is the first song I ever wrote on the guitar when I spent a year in Westcliff-on-Sea, England, in 1991. I'd written a few songs on the piano before, but for me, Being In Love was my first "official" song. I kind of felt reborn after I'd written it! Musically, the song is the same as I wrote it back then. However, I decided to revise the lyrics. Nonetheless, the song is still telling the same story. On my way to work in early December, I saw Venus rising. So I thought, why not do something with stars? So I wrote the first two verses, and the chorus and the third verse kind of wrote themselves after that. I also love having a small reference to Star Trek in the lyrics since I am a huge Trekkie. Funny enough when I wrote the song, I always heard a flute in the intros. But now with the Star Trek reference, it seems even more fitting - fellow Trekkies will understand! ;-)
I just love the arrangement Nathan Peter Illes came up with! It fits the vibe of the song perfectly!

lyrics

Being In Love

Looking out the window
Gazing at the stars
Quietly twinkling from afar
I speak to them sometimes
Send my wishes to the sky
Hoping for a sign

Cause ever since I met you
Stars are sparkling in my heart
And they brighten up the dark
You turned my world around
Turned it upside down
My head's in the clouds

I wish you could be here with me
So we could study astronomy
Discover whole new galaxies
And travel at warp speed
Overcoming gravity, escaping reality
I'll tell the sun and the moon
What it's like being in love with you

Stardust all around me
And a crackling in the air
I might explode but I don't care
The stars shout out your name
All over the milky way
I'm in heaven each day

I wish you could be here with me
So we could study astronomy
Discover whole new galaxies
And travel at warp speed
Overcoming gravity, escaping reality
I'll tell the sun and the moon
What it's like being in love with you
