Hum (Kazoo)

from Samples by Heather Aubrey Lloyd

about

People date songwriters to get songs written about them, but you don't get to pick which ones you get. And what about writer's block? If the songs don't come, does that mean we don't really love you? A sweet love song inspired by the idea that when words, and even voice fail, pretty much anyone can still play kazoo. And a satisfied hum even works during a kiss.

lyrics

If I had our song in my hands
won't find its way to a strum
would you think that I loved you less?
Wonder if I'd gone numb?

If I had our song in my mouth
won't find its way to a word
would you think I had nothing to say
just 'cause it couldn't be heard?

'Cause you make me feel like singing
but sometimes the notes just won't come
but even when my love goes unsung
well, I can still can hum. Hmm hmm.

Here with your head upon my chest
Must feel the beat like a drum
is that music enough to your ears
or would it just let you down?

'Cause you make me feel like singing
but sometimes the notes just won't come
but even when my love goes unsung
well, I can still can hum. Hmm hmm.

Don't feel slighted, I have pulled all-nighters
writing all of my thoughts on our love
but to do it justice I'm afraid I must admit
I'm not the one.
And it's your fault really, 'cause you make me silly
and I forget where all my songs come from
but even when you strike me dumb
I can still hum. Hmm hmm.

'Cause you make me feel like singing
But I've got better use for my tounge
'cause even when I kiss you
well, I can still can hum. Hmm hmm.
Oh, even when I kiss you...
Hmm hmm.
