Day 6: Writing on the Wall
Today is a special day here at The Supernova Experience. We’re nearing the end of the whole event, and as we go out, I’d like to go out with a bang.
I wrote many ideas on my way to the songs that made it on to the record, and a few of them actually made their way into full songs that weren’t included on the final record.
Today I want to share a song called ‘Writing on the Wall’ with you that was originally slated to be included on Supernova, but ended up on the cutting room floor. I still love this song! It just wasn’t right on this album.
Check it out below as well as a deep dive on One Night in Spain, with an early voice memo, the first demo of this one.
See you tomorrow for our FINAL DAY!
Much love,
Danny
Unreleased Song - Writing on the Wall
Writing on the Wall almost made the cut as an album track for Supernova. Give it a listen below and let me know what you think about it. This song idea has been in my head for years - maybe we see it pop up again somewhere in the future in another format.

Here’s the voice memo version of the first demo! Straight from the iPhone. Check out that high note at the end. Yikes.

Fun fact: this was shot in my living room!
Lyrics
If I had a whole damn lifetime
To live for you and me
I'd write a hundred books about the way you talk and look
Chronicle everything
And if I had a whole damn lifetime
To give you what you need
I'd write a hundred songs about the way you turn me on
And I would go and sing
But my plane takes off in the morning
And this road keeps callin' my name
And this night feels like it could burn forever
When you tend the flame
If I could, girl I would, you know I wanna
If you tell me that you're feelin' the same
We could live a whole damn lifetime
In one night in Spain
If I had a whole damn lifetime
To keep you by my side
I'd always have you near
And we would bottle every year and drink it up like wine
And if I had a whole damn lifetime
Tomorrow didn't come
I'd never leave this town
And I would probably settle down and make it where I'm from
But my plane takes off in the morning
And this road keeps callin' my name
And this night feels like it could burn forever
When you tend the flame
If I could, girl I would, you know I wanna
If you tell me that you're feelin' the same
We could live a whole damn lifetime
In one night in Spain
That Flamenco dance you do for me
It feels like it's my destiny
But time ain't on our side
It's just our enemy
'Cause my plane takes off in the morning
And this road keeps callin' my name
And this night feels like it could burn forever
When you tend the flame
If I could, girl I would, you know I wanna
If you tell me that you're feelin' the same
We could live a whole damn lifetime in one night
A whole damn lifetime in one night
A whole damn lifetime in one night in
One night in Spain
