about

I’d recorded some guitar parts on a looper pedal, it was on my phone and I was in a supermarket and it came up on shuffle, though I’d forgotten all about it. I thought, “oh! I could put a lyric to this and do something”. When I looked through all my lyrics, the only one that seemed to fit was this one. Originally I didn’t really want to use this one, it didn’t seem to have any edginess or dark undertone I like. The original lyric was more like a long form poem that I’d written when my girlfriend was away, I split it into three verses and added the “I am just a fool, I am such a fool” chorus endings to each verse. I really like this song now.

lyrics

I want to say I love you
A thousand times
I want to say I love you
In a voice like thunder
I need to say I love you
In a touch
Tingling and tender
But I am such a fool
I am such a fool
I am such a fool

I want to say I love you
You are asleep and far away
I want to say I love you
From the deepest depths of me
To the deepest depths of you
With silence in between
And I am just a fool
I am such a fool
I am such a fool

I want to say I love you
In a voice unheard
With lips unseen
I want to say I love you
To every morsel of your being
I want to say I love you
Till it's printed on your heart
Please let me say I love you
And say we'll never part
I know I'm just a fool
I am just a fool
I am just a fool
I am just a fool

about

Anphortas Sheffield, UK

Anphortas is the music project of Sheffield based musician, painter, fencing coach and guitar maker Adam Blight. Songs sort of drop out of the air, what to do with all these songs? As I got involved in music making, I sought to make my songs more real and tangible and to get recorded versions that sounded how I could hear them in my mind. Now they seem to sound how I imagined they would. ... more
