Had a blast fooling around Lav’s big electronic wall of synth sound.
Just three chords, in the key of C

A song about reciprocal friendship with a “if you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” kind of theme.
Plus the added bonus of using the word “ruminate” in a song lol

Here’s the lyrics , pella uploaded here

“Shelter Me”

When I was lost at sea
(saw you swimming out to rescue me)
When I’ve been down and out
(you have offered me your company)
Asking nothing in return -
here to soothe my every burn

When I think about
(possibility of coming out)
My courage up then down
(looking at my feet dragging on the ground)
A friend to listen let it be
in the end its you and me

Yeah!
If you shelter me
I will shelter you
Helter skelterly!
(it is all that we can do)
And if you set me free
I will come right back to you
if you shelter me
I will offer love to you

Shelter me
I will shelter you
Shelter me
I will shelter you

And when I scream and shout
(give me space so i can work it out)
waiting patiently
(till I’ve ruminated all my doubt)
Asking nothing in return
you beside me every turn

Yeah!
If you shelter me
I will shelter you
Helter skelterly!
(it is all that we can do)
And if you set me free
I will come right back to you
if you shelter me
I will offer love to you

Shelter me!
I will shelter you!
(If you) shelter me
I will shelter you

Shelter me!
I will shelter you!
Shelter me!
Shelter you!
