about

This is a simple, sweet, and endearing song with a nostalgic vibe. I gathered some inspiration during a drive home from work, listening to The Carpenters, playing piano at work, and hanging out at Certain Sparks Music (music store/recording studio). I really hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I enjoyed writing it.

"And if for nothing else, I hope when you hear this tune, it'll make you think of me..." :)

With all my heart,
Jimil-Anne

lyrics

CERTAIN SPARKS

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

VERSE I:
Oh, the sky is gray today
I’m driving home
Listening to the radio
And your song comes on
Certain sparks of your voice catch my ear
Certain sparks of your words touch my soul

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

VERSE II:
I’ve been watching you here from upstairs
You’ve got your headphones on
Tuning out all the world
And groovin’ to the beat of your own song

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

CHORUS:
“La la la la la” is all I can sing
“Shoo bee doo ba wa”
My feet are shufflin’
Ain’t no song I write is worth rememberin’
But yours are, but yours are
But yours are, but yours are

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

VERSE III:
I’ve been hanging around this place for awhile
Singin’ my shoulda-coulda-wouldas out of style
Part of me feels a sense of vulnerability
Not my sort of thing to sing my heart out
In front of watchful eyes

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

CHORUS:
“La la la la la” is all I can sing
“Shoo bee doo ba wa”
My feet are shufflin’
Ain’t no song I write is worth rememberin’

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

BRIDGE:
All the insides of my heart in song
Like Prufrock on the beach

VERSE IV:
Hey, I know I am going out of my way
Hey, I know I am well below your league
But I can’t help it, Mr. Radio
When your songs play
I feel I’m singin’ too

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, da dum

CHORUS:
“La la la la la” is all I can sing
“Shoo bee doo ba wa”
My feet are shufflin’
Ain’t no song I write is worth rememberin’
But I hope all of this will turn to something
And if for nothing else, I hope
When you hear this tune,
It’ll make you think of me

Da da da da da dum, da da dum
Da da da da da dum, singin’--

CHORUS:
“La la la la la” is all I can sing
“Shoo bee doo ba wa”
My feet are shufflin’
Ain’t no song I write is worth rememberin’
But yours are, but yours are

OUTRO:
Da da da dum, da da da dum
(Shoo bee doo ba wa)
Da da da dum, da da da dum
(La la la la la)
Da da da dum, da da da dum
(All the insides of my heart in song)
Da da da dum, da da da dum

Like Prufrock on the beach
