the muse by michael hermiston ©️ (original)

another song with minimal views reposted with silly pictures.. from 2013
just me on guitar with a touch of strings ...there are several "muse" songs
here's another one: • oh that muse by michae...
lyrics:
Bm7
she wears a dirty old shirt
A
and a pair of ratty old shoes
Em G
she races like the wind,
A
consistently you lose
Bm7sus
she takes all that you have
A
and throws it in the sea
C
she'll steal your very breath
D4
and mock your final gasp with serenity
Bm7
while laughing at your manhood
A
offers a toast to your tears
Em G A
amid the crowd that cheers and laughs along
Bm7sus
you shake you head and catch her eye
A
she knows damn well you're gonna cry
C D4
and so she offers you a little song
G Em
i would love you
C D
if i could
knowing me, and knowing you
us just won't be good
that doubt would eat me up
like those ants that live in wood
knowing me, and knowing you D4
i should run far away… if i could
Bm7
she loves to wear her see through dress
A
and heels to look real tall
Em G
she flaunts her hips and licks her lips
A
ignores you when you crawl
Bm7sus
rolls her eyes disdainfully
A
should you meet her gaze
C
she'll squint and sigh and touch your arm
D
your qualities appraised
Bm7
the room empties magically
A
or from her subtle wave
Em G
you feel a sweat her arms enclose
A
her gifts can make you brave
Bm7
tear off your shirt, and drop your pants
A
fill spaces through the lines
C
hear the strings feel the peace
D
the climax of the rhymes

Oh Lordy, how I love this song! How lucky we are to have a muse visit us from time to time…I especially like the scruffy and dirty one..she seems to give me my favorite songs…that dirt is soft and real. You describe the songwriting process very well, we can’t help but write. At least, that my interp. Beautiful, Michael. :)

[@michaelhermiston]

amen Janet!!! you know her well 😎 thanks so much!

[@lynnthepoet4560]

Wonderful lyrics and vocals dear Michael And it feels sooo wonderful every time the muse comes in whatever form and we are helpless to resist where that takes us in those moments of climbing creative bliss Really love your guitar sound on this and the chorus melody 🎶 Have a beautifully inspired day 🎶🌿🌼🎹🎺✨🌈⛅🌞

"Us just won't be good." Something simple, almost childlike in the grammar of that line. Perfect Michael.

[@michaelhermiston]

Your songs are such a delight, Michael. Real or imaginary, that Muse is everything and I am most grateful for the inspiration. What a wonderful poem and song!

It's amazing where inspiration comes from. But unrequited love is great emotion place to create from (but not so great to live through🤣.) Excellent composition and brilliant poetry. Super cool 👍👍

[@pianothingsmusic]

[@Franswa]

Beautiful lyrics and beautiful singing, it’s always really nice listening to your songs Michael.

[@michaelhermiston]

very kind, thanks a lot François, i hope you have a terrific week!! 🧡🌎🌘🪇🍂🐕‍🦺🦋🙏🏾🌞

[@goreedysings]

It's all about the vocal qualities for me - pulls me into a different place. Very good.

[@therealrosswhite]

Genius🙏🙏 All my best always Ross

[@EnormouslySmall]

I suppose my muse is female, but I doubt she's a woman. Most likely a cat. Anyway, a great, underappreciated song, Michael. Better get your muse a bouquet of flowers, and have someone in to see about those ants.

[@michaelhermiston]

it's funny, i can't imaging my muse other than a woman....animals aren't recalcitrant .... am i saying women are recalcitrant? 🤣 thanks Don (maybe i should study linguistics)

[@RoseAkerman]

Excellent song Michael!

[@BrianNeil]

Wonderful Michael!

[@sofarsogut]

Lovely lyrics in harmonious music 👍

[@berniarmstrong]

Ah, like Leonard Cohen, you are bamboozled by the muse and her wiles, her gifts, her smiles and her fears.

[@michaelhermiston]

aye...she be a rascal!!! thanks Berni🌎😎🌞👏🏾🦋✌🏽🙏🏾❤️🕊🌤️

[@CristinaS]

Wonderful, Michael!
