Curtains Close

Story Behind The Song

I was thinking about the performances I've had throughout my life in musicals where romantic scenes are acted out. It gave me the idea for this song and I thought "Surely, a real relationship has formed on stage before". So, I wanted to create a song that told that story and creatively captured the intimate moment between a couple realizing that their chemistry goes "beyond the scene" as the song says.

Song Description

This song invites interpretation through its storytelling and the listener's perception. It can be seen literally as a relationship developing between two actors who transition from performing a romantic scene on stage to a real-life romance once the curtains close. Alternatively, it may be viewed metaphorically, exploring themes of privacy and the hidden aspects of romance that remain away from the public eye.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look into your beautiful eyes
Lost in them as you speak your lines
A night I know I'll always reminisce
As I feel the passion in your kiss
It's the finale, a success full of cheers
Dropping the curtain, but we don't have to end here, here

[Pre-Chorus]
They say we have chemistry
Could it be beyond the scene?
We don't have to end this show
We can keep going when the curtains close

[Chorus]
I want you, ohhh
All of you when curtains close
Nobody will ever know
What we do when curtains close

[Verse 2]
My hands, still rested on your hips
As I feel the seduction from your lips
Mmm
I love how you perform
I need a private encore
Curtains closed and it's lights out
But, she's still shining, still kissing me now

[Pre-Chorus]
They say we have chemistry
Could it be beyond the scene?
We don't have to end this show
We can keep going when the curtains close

[Chorus]
I want you, ohhh
All of you when curtains close
Nobody will ever know
What we do when curtains close

[Bridge]
A performance they will always know
Mmmm
And now we're loving with the curtains closed
Mmmm
I know everyone could see your glow, oh
But now we're loving with the curtains closed
Oh whoa

[Final Chorus]
I want you, ohhh
All of you, now the curtains closed
Now it's our time to show
What we do when curtains close
When curtains close
