The Songs : Wednesday


*Finished* 4/06
Music (1-6/99, 4/06) Words (4-5/05, 9/05, 3-4/06)

In the afternoon around 12:15
I was just sitting down to eat
then your smile walked into the room
with my jaw firmly on the floor
I didn't know that you were spoken for
when your eyes left me all too soon

I'll never forget, the day we first met
it was a Wednesday
it was a Wednesday
we didn't know it yet, but our future was set
on a Wednesday
on a Wednesday

It took some time for me to be your man
but it was all part of my five-year plan
pretending being fine as just your friend
lots of laughter was to plant my seed
though I was a pest until you agreed
to take a chance on how this could end

and that I'll never regret, 'cause our first date was set
on a Wednesday
on a Wednesday
no we didn't know quite yet, how amazing this would get
on that Wednesday
on that Wednesday

I know it seems we may have found a theme
though I swear I wasn't aiming for ring finger vacancy
but I'll gladly take our destined fate
because it's worked out really well for me

And I'll never forget, the day we first met
it was a Wednesday
it was a Wednesday
no we didn't know quite yet, how amazing this would get
on that Wednesday
on that Wednesday

Wednesday just may, be our lucky day
but I'll marry you, any day you say

Background:
Music: Kinda similar to some of my older stuff, very simple and a bit repetitive but it's fun as hell and rockin'. The guitar fades out for most of the verses, something different for me. Almost all the words were done before the music came along (the random jam intro/break riff just fit and the verse/chorus chords were written for the words specifically). The bridge, however, was a pain in my ass until I reconfigured a riff from 1999 and another song (Times Like These). The song sucks, but that riff is killer and it's done slightly differently here and fits in nicely.
Lyrics: All a true story. I met my future wife on a Wednesday and five years later, asked her out for our first date on a Wednesday. We are not getting married on a Wednesday. I suggested it, though. A few bits and pieces were thrown around (start of a 1st verse/chorus) but 90% of it was done in March 2006.
