What I've Got to Hide

single

Mia Rose Lynne & Anna K. Eaves

Lyrics

Sitting here at this empty table
My life's a mess and I'm so unstable
Wonder when the sun is gonna shine?
People look then walk right past me
I catch their eye but they don't see me
Maybe ‘cause they haven't got the time?

I just need someone
To take a look inside
Tell me what is wrong
What I've got to hide?
What I’ve got to hide?

Taking a walk down memory lane
I'm thinking of you and you're to blame
Now I'm the one I couldn't seem to find
So I've packed my bags for tomorrow
I'm getting ready for the ride
I'm leaving my past behind

I just need someone
To take a look inside
Tell me what is wrong
What I've got to hide?
What I’ve got to hide?

So pretty baby if you walk past me
Let me think you didn't see me
Please don't say you haven't got the time

I just need someone
To take a look inside
Tell me what is wrong
What I've got to hide?
And I just need someone
To take a look inside
Tell me what is wrong
What I've got to hide?
What I’ve got to hide?

Story

This is a beautiful first in the collection: the birth of a song from lyrics written by Anna K. Eaves before her stroke.
Found on a sheet of paper, as a rough draft, this text has beautifully inspired Mia Rose Lynne who signs the music.

Mia Rose Lynne is an artist, musician and actress, from Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Author-songwriter, she is multi-award winning American songwriting award - Best Folk Songs.
Visit her website here, she's wonderful.

The common desire to bring the two artists together has enabled the recording of their voices, which are beautifully together ... a huge challenge for Anna, who records here, a whole sentence for the first time in years.

At this beautiful stage of collaboration, we had a piano and voices, recorded in the USA and France.
The idea came to add a quartet of violins. In Croatia, Olja Dešić agrees to write a sublime arrangement.
The song then goes back to the USA for the recording of the violins while Olja happily offers us the recording of a new piano.

Beautiful emotions motivated the inspiration, the creation, the discovery and the realization of this song born in the head of Anna at a very young age ... thanks to the words written by her hand on a piece of paper, history perhaps of to make them live one day.

It's today.
