Mark Williams - Romantically Obsesssed (Track By Track)
(More Than I) Love Myself: I wrote this back in like April of last year and its all about how delusional love can be. Where it’s practically to the point where you lose yourself and are driven entirely by desire. Some people sort’ve think of it as if you have really high self esteem and they manage to overtake that ego, which is fine I guess, but for me its more as if you have none so “if I said I love you more than I love myself, would it mean anything or does it mean nothing at all?” has a whole other layer to it.
How Romantic: This dance-pop track was written back in May. Basically I really just held a lot of hope for everything to come together just right, we’d turn out super tight, tighter than before. I had faith that despite whatever signs, maybe I could rekindle a fire.
Side By Side: This one was written in October, it really just captures how SURREAL everything felt at the time. As if I had crossed the line over to some fairytale land or finding an oasis in the middle of the desert after so long.
Fall Into You: I wrote this song in November and it’s about how ethereal losing yourself in someone is. Except then comes that little doubt in your mind that everything might not be as you find it. The world may be all glitter and shine but things don’t always stay perfectly fine. But who cares, ignorance is bliss.
No Matter: This song, written back in September, is definitely one of the more obsessive/paranoid tracks. When that little voice in your head nitpicks at every little thing till you need constant reassurance that things aren’t going awry. And it really doesn’t help when your heart is helpless.
You Were The One: I wrote this ambient pop track back in October and I was really just reflecting on details of the past. Like it pinpoints a certain day when the weather fit the mood with wind as rough as stone and rain soaked to the bone, and a period where you can’t help but mull over the thought that you just missed out on the greatest opportunity of your life.
Stretched: While the last song was more somber, this is just bitter and regretful. I wrote this in July and while many of the other songs wish that things could’ve been different, this song wishes that they could be entirely erased from ever interfering with your life. Cause after all, love makes everyone an emotionally unstable wreck. Totally.
One Kiss: Ooh this one’s my personal favorite(with You Were The One a close second but anyway)! One Kiss was written in June and it’s top to bottom, all about romanticism, fantasies, and whatnot. Like how romantic would it be if we were in this situation. And even though that may not be real, it atleast keeps you content just dreaming.
♥ A POEM ♥: This isn’t really much of a song but just y’know a poem obviously haha. Anyway, I wrote this in October and it’s almost like a letter written directly to the single person who inspired it all.
Everything: This song was written in November and its about how its torture of not being able to express the sheer amount of love and devotion you have for someone when it’s about to burst at the seams. Your just sortve stuck in the self-destructive limbo land cause your terrified of taking the risk.
Dreamer: This song is actually the person who inspired it all’s favorite! I wrote it back in May and its all about those cute little qualities in someone that make you smile in the middle of the day and just want to be with them right there in that moment.
Sick and Tired: This was the last song I wrote for the album, in December specifically, and its about how emotionally draining and exhausting love can be. They take you to polar extremes, never lukewarm or in-between. They occupy every nook and cranny in your mind so that you can no longer call it mine.
