"I Found" is my cover of a popular song by the indie rock group Amber Run. I fell in love with its clever melody and lyrics which come through strongly in our recorded version. Radio DJ of "Unreal Bluegrass", Steve Martin, says it best: "Valerie Smith possesses one of the more interpretive and sensitive voices in all of music. She feels lyrics deeply and wants the listener to feel with her. 'I Found' is the perfect opportunity for Valerie, with strong backing by Liberty Pike, to reach deeply down and then stretch back out to the audience. Ultimately the song describes life, gliding over unexpected obstacles and finding love where it wasn't supposed to be. The serendipity of joy. Valerie Smith takes you with her, breathing with you as you find smiles and happiness." - Steve Martin (Unreal Bluegrass)
Lyrics
I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
Oh, and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
