“Stay Warm” by George Taylor – A Song Review

     We loved “Stay Warm” even before seeing that George Taylor identified one of our favorite relationship songs as a motivation for the track. He named Leon Russell’s “Song For You.” Melodically, the two songs do not have much in common. But both are soulful devotions to another, both reel the willing listener into the sentiment, and both have a focus on vocals with piano support.

      George Taylor is a singer/songwriter in London. The credits of “Stay Warm” note that Charlie Hugall contributed to the lyrics and produced the track.

Lyrics of “Stay Warm” by George Taylor

When you’re walking in the winter

With the snow beneath your feet

When you feel the cold and shiver

And the light streams through the trees

Put a heavy coat around you

And I'll just wish it could be me

And stay warm

If I could, I would, I'd be there

You shouldn't have to walk alone

I've been drifting through December

Don't know when I'm coming home

And my bottle’s almost empty

And I'm running out of ways to stay warm

And I've been dreaming of you almost every night

Then I wake up, you're not there by my side

When I come back I'll give you my love

And I hope that you'd not given up

Cause I've been trying everything

But I can only sing to stay warm

To stay warm

If I see you in the summer

Would you lie in the sun with me?

Cause I've been living in the darkness

I've been searching for some peace

When the clouds are gone above us

We wouldn't even need to stay warm

Out of focus in the picture

I see the color of your hair

I hope you've come to a decision

Cause I could come and meet you there

If I know that I'm forgiven

Maybe I could find a way to stay warm

And I've been dreaming of you almost every night

Then I wake up, you're not there by my side

When I come back I'll give you my love

And I hope that you'd not given up

Cause I've been trying everything

But I can only sing to stay warm

To stay warm

I'm stuck alone

Overgrown, need to know

Cause I'm out of my depth

You’re caught in my head

I need to know if you feel the same

We can grow only hope

I can show I'm a better man now

And you'll know that somehow

There's still time for us to change

When I come back I'll give you my love

And I hope that you'd not given up

Cause I've been trying everything

But I can only sing to stay warm

To stay warm, to stay warm
