Secret Garden (feat. Molly Parden)

I adore the words and melodies of Secret Garden (written by Bruce Springsteen in 1995), but I've always thought the song should have been recorded with a female voice rather than Bruce's - sorry Bruce. I've never produced a song for another artist before, but I love the melodic world of Secret Garden, and Molly was perfect for it. We tracked her vocal in a single take one afternoon and I built the musical elements around her recording.

Lyrics:

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in herheart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where You can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
