about

I'm wearing my Beatles/Spongetones influence on my sleeve for this one. It's a simple love song about a guy who falls in love at first sight and doesn't realize right away that the object of his affection feels the same way. He goes through the classic stages... Cupid's arrow strikes and he becomes smitten, is overcome by self-doubt, overthinks how he will approach her, and is relieved when she reaches out and expresses her openness to his attentions. Ain't love grand!

lyrics

VERSE 1
It was a dreary day, until you passed my way
Saved by the love
And then the clouds resigned, the sky began to shine
Saved by the love
When the sun came out, I had to find some shade
My thoughts were all on parade
But then my eyes could see, this is my chance to be
Saved by the love

VERSE 2
Should I confront my fate and ask you for a date
Saved by the love
Will I put off my flight to get the moment right
Saved by the love
I was trying too hard and started slipping back
I wasn’t on the right track
But then I saw the sign, “no need to stand in line to be
Saved by the love

BRIDGE
And then you made it easy when you came to me and said
“Call me anytime”
You made me feel secure, and now I know for sure
There’s no mountain we can’t climb

VERSE 3
I didn’t have to knock or try to pick a lock
Saved by the love
You opened up the door and let me in for more
Saved by the love
It took some time to get my head on straight
I guess it’s never too late
Because it’s clear to see, that when you came to me, I was
Saved by the love

CODA
Yes it was clear to see that it was meant to be, I was
Saved by the love
Saved by the love

about

Mike Browning Southport, North Carolina

Imagine working most of your adult life as nothing more
than a cog in the corporate machine. Then imagine finding
yourself in a community college classroom, led by one of
your musical heroes. That happened to me, after I ran into
Jamie Hoover of the Spongetones at a Dairy Queen. His generosity in sharing his vast knowledge of studio techniques with me has led me to releasing my very first EP. ... more
