I Don​’​t Know Where I Stand (feat. Metropole Orkest)

from Clear Day (High Res) by Emilie-Claire Barlow

about

This started out as an arrangement for voice and electric bass. We then adapted it into a full orchestration. I had the pleasure of singing this one live off the floor along with the Metropole Orkest when we recorded at Musiekcentrum in Hilversum.

lyrics

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil and wrote, "I love you, " in my finest hand
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand

Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange
To say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand

Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you,
I know that I miss you
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
but I don't know
I don't know
where I stand
