Under the Oak

about

My new song ‘Under the Oak’; a very slow, dreamy ballad with minimal production. I made this with just two instruments, my guitar and my 80s keyboard. I have always loved soft, slow jazz beats with brushes and I was able to find one online that I have used here too. I wanted this song to be slow and soft because it is really an ode to nature. I always think that humans often make the mistake of thinking that we are separate from nature when we are actually part of it and we need to make time to appreciate that. Let’s face it, the world is a lot sometimes and this song is about those moments when you find peace in doing something as simple as sitting under an oak tree. Also, I couldn’t get rid of those slight scratchy noises for the life of me, I hope they are not too annoying. I have no training in music production so please forgive haha XD.

lyrics

Under the oak
That’s where I go
When I feel alone
And harken the soul
That gently unfolds
Upon its green throne

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak

Under the oak
Where nothing’s untold
There’s tales of long, long ago
Like how those old folk
By fire and smoke
Would sing, dance and joke

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak

Oh, life is Heaven
Oh, when I’m sitting

Under the oak
That’s where I go
When I feel alone
And harken the soul
That gently unfolds
Mounted on its green throne

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak

Oh, life is Heaven
Oh, when I’m sitting

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak
Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak
