It is Sunday again and time for SLS. Helen Vahdati’s This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time, Song Lyric Sunday. The prompt for this week is Harmony/Melody/Music, so let’s light it up, set it off, kick it into gear, As Jim at newepicauthor said “let it rip, start jamming, let the dogs out, release the hounds and get the party started.”
Okay I want to play but I don’t have much time so I am going straight in with Extreme an actual American Rock Band though from this beautiful, gentle and truly gorgeous close harmony. The song More than words.
“More Than Words”
Is not the words
I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say
But if you only knewHow easy
It would be to
Show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do
To make it real
Then you wouldn’t
Have to say
That you love me
Cause I’d already know
What would you do?
If my heart
Was torn in two
More than words
To show you feel
That your love
For me is real
What would you say
If I took
Those words away
Then you couldn’t
Make things new,
Just by saying
“I love you”
More than words,
More than words
Now that I’ve tried to
Talk to you
And make you understand
All you have to do
Is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
And touch me
Hold me close
Don’t ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever
Needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t
Have to say
That you love me
Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di dai, dai dai, di dai dai da
La la di da da da
La di dai dai da
La la da da
More than words
Oooh uuuuh uuuh
Uuh
More than words

The guitar accompaniment on that tune has become rather iconic in the world of finger-style guitar. Hard to imagine the song played any other way. Great choice.
