about

I wrote started writing this song on a subway in NYC and recorded it years later in a Portland, OR living room.

lyrics

Sitting on the subway yesterday
A little something caught me
I had never seen before
Just outside a tunnel
As I turned to face your way
Hey, hey--- hey, what’s that?

Chorus:
Was it love in your eyes?
No, it could be the light
Was it love in your eyes?
I don’t know
Was it love in your eyes?
Or a trick on my mind?
I don’t know
I want to, though

Through the years I’ve known you, we’re just friends
And never had that conversation
Could we be much more
To tell the truth I’ve wondered
But I’ve been afraid to say it
Hey, hey--- hey, what’s that?

Chorus:
Was it love in your eyes?
No, it could be the light
Was it love in your eyes?
I don’t know
Was it love in your eyes?
Or a trick on my mind?
I don’t know
I want to, though

Bridge:
Fear of losing
What we’ve got
Keeps me quietly wondering
But now and then
I feel like jumping off
Maybe we should try

Chorus:
Was it love in your eyes?
No, it could be the light
Was it love in your eyes?
I don’t know
Was it love in your eyes?
Or a trick on my mind?
I don’t know
I want to, though

Was it love in your eyes?
No, it could be the light
Was it love in your eyes?
I don’t know
Was it love in your eyes?
Or a trick on my mind?
I don’t know
I want to, though

Kelli Caldwell Portland, Oregon

With her distinct vibrato, Caldwell’s sound is very unique. Though compared to that of Alanis Morrisette, Gigi Love, or “a cross between Tracy Chapman and Nancy Griffith,” her voice and style are all her own. But it’s the lyric, the storytelling that drives her…“I love trying to settle into someone else’s soul for awhile, trying to tell their story honestly.” ... more
