about

The fourth in a "once a month or so" series of tracks from TCSO, a very personal song, "I Will Wait For You", and as Chris will tell you, one of his proudest moments as a songwriter.

Featuring TCSO regulars Rob Lundgren (vocals) and Dennis Leeflang (drums and mix) alongside Chris Szkup (guitars and bass), due to the content of this song, Mathew Szkup was high on the list of people that Chris wanted to try and get on the track. While his schedule was tight, he does appear on acoustic guitar which was an awesome touch, and makes the whole thing "complete" in a lot of ways.

"Lyrically the song talks about the whole dealing with losing loved ones, and also what it means for the people left behind, really trying to make sense of everything and offering some thoughts on it all, as well as some personal recollections of people that were close to me who are no longer with us", says Chris.

Another thing of note with this song is that with the "bridge" of the song, which to me was meant to be a bit of a Beatles esque jammy section, I realised that the lyric "Come Together" was in that section followed by a gap, so I had Rob sing "shoot me" as a little nod to the masters. Great fun to do that, and I think it sets the section off perfectly.

Once again, mastering on this track was done by Andy VanDette at Engineroom Audio in NYC, while artwork was done by Dan Verkys.

All of these songs will gradually be revealed as time (and finances) allow, and when complete, will form a "collection" type album which will be available on the usual digital outlets and on the store at www.cs-songs.com however until completion, the best and fastest way to purchase the songs as they are released will be right here on bandcamp. You also have the option to throw in a little tip if you desire and pay more than the listed price for the song. This will help future songs be released faster, however this is completely optional, and you can even just listen to the songs in full for free and not buy at all - up to you!

lyrics

I tried so hard
I gave it my all
Intending to see it through
If this is the end
In my heart I know
I did what I could do

Always acted
True to my heart
Knowing you would approve
I gave it my all
I offered everything
I wish it didn't have to conclude
I don't want it to conclude

Why does it have to end?
Instead why don't we all come together?
So much that we could share
A life that should live on through us forever

Are you there watching?
Are you listening?
Would really like to talk with you
I miss your lessons
And your encouragement
And every little thing about you

Why does it have to end?
Instead why don't we all come together?
So much that we could share
A life that should live on through us forever

Is it too real?
Is it too challenging?
A click much simpler to do
I hope some day you see
The right way
Will be waiting for you
