i caught my breath - words and music by michael dollan And as the nights get colder I’ll only want to hold ‘ya. I caught my breath you caught yours too. Crossing and dotting, oh yeah. Knowing, not being told, yeah. When I caught my breath, I caught yours too. Became the start of ours. Crossing and dotting, oh yeah. Knowing not being told, well nobody tells us what to do - no-one apart from us. Now our race is run, lying in the sun.

save me 02:56
Save me – written by Aimee Mann. Arrangement by michael dollan. You look like... a perfect fit, For a boy in need... of a tourniquet. Can you save me? Come on and save me... If you could save me, from the ranks of the freaks, who suspect they could never love anyone. 'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like. The long farewell... of the hunger strike. Can you save me? Come on and save me... If you could save me, from the ranks of the freaks, who suspect they could never love anyone. Can you save me? Come on and save me... If you could save me, from the ranks of the freaks, who suspect they could never love anyone.

about

‘I caught my breath’ is about finally finding the person to hole-up with for the rest of my life, my wonderful fiancé Nicky. It's a love song, about how we hurtled through life and in finding each other, at long last we finally found a chance catch our breath - as we began our journey together. The song started out on a loop pedal, and evolved into this final version - featuring my first composition of 4 part vocal harmony. It’s a very special song to me.

Aimee Mann's 'Save Me' – is a song with similar themes to ‘i caught my breath’ – and is a song I have always loved, with my own stamp on it here. As with all my covers work, I learn the basics of the song, and then make it my own, adding the parts I hear, rather than what's actually on the original recordings. This is a new and officially licensed arrangement moved into in 3/4 (rather than 4/4), with a new instrumental section I composed replacing the bridge.

I hope you enjoy!
