In November 2014, Luke drove for five hours with two friends to his grandparents old house in Lake Tyers Beach to record a live soundtrack in their memory.
Recorded live in the lounge room at 3am.
'Speechless' was written in 2013 after some prompting from his nan to write some still lovely but more positive songs. Here is the product of that suggestion.
lyrics
It's late but we're awake,
Long talks all through the night,
I don't need no sleep, I just need you
The sparkle in your eye, the way you look in mine
I won't let you go
You're so incredible, and you're perfect to me,
No words to describe at all
Oh we are both still here,
Hours after first goodbye,
Eyes close and all they can see is you
'Cos, you leave me speechless
Yes, you leave me speechless
When I saw your pretty face, I knew you were the one
When I saw your pretty face, I knew you were the one
When I stare in to your eyes, I see you are the one
When I stare in to your eyes, I see you are the one
When I hold you in my arms, I know you are the one
When I hold you in my arms, I know you are the one
'Cos, you leave me speechless
Yes, you leave me speechless
