a love like acoustic r&b
light tones and good vibes
the sound of bright acoustics
smiling guitars, tickling ears
or gentle whispering
the moments of time
spent together in coffee shops and small boutiques
sunny days and blue, cloudy skies
warm, comforting memories with you

and in a moment
these tones can have so much depth
a dark undertone
hints of a past love
or an unrequited love
a love lost but now found
minor chords resembling teardrops
harmonics drying them away
dark blues and grays
perfect for rainy days

but in the end
the sweetness overcomes all
compassion in songs vanquish
the emptiness of a quiet room
filling it with light from chords
sung from my heartstrings and yours
and one harmonic on the guitar
blooms into songs painted with 7th chords
each melody as a gesture from the heart
collecting through time into entire albums
a love that will re-write the acoustic r&b music library

I was in the middle of listening to Have You Ever Fallen In Love? by Standing Egg, and then an idea popped into my head that went along the lines of "What if love could tie to your favorite genre of music?" Then before you know it, I was typing away on the notepad.

Love is something people identify with on a personal level where it's not the same for everyone, and someone's favorite genre of music can also be very partial to someone for personal reasons that can be different from why someone else likes that genre. So I tried relating the two together. For me, acoustic R&B is my favorite genre of music to listen to. It's a part of my day. It soothes me and makes my heart happy.
