so you said

Liner Notes

A friend inspired me to use a certain phrase I said once as a lyric in my song.

Lyrics

SO YOU SAID
all my favorites are dead
so you said so you said so you said so you said
never listening up
do i really know

first impressions instead
so you said so you said so you said again
i am reading the books
that you'll never know

it made sense then
year after year
you'd try and replace
your persona

i will listen to them
so you said so you said so you said so you said again
are you listening now
do i really know

do they fill you with dread?
so you said so you said so you said so you said
did you hear the solo?
that you'll never know

it made sense then
year after year
you'd try
and embrace a new persona

two days from sunday
is where i take my leave
swelling with summer's elastic
three days from wednesday
is where i will begin
listening
to my favorite Bowie album of the year

I found this doing the random song search. Great hook! I like that falsetto turnaround, the somewhat vague but also quite relatable lyrics, and the endless summer groove. What is summer's elastic? Don't know, but it feels like something I know. Bravo! Good one!

The "so you said" repetition works very nicely. Beautifully crafted lyrics and the melody does them justice... Enjoyed my listen a lot...

I hear Radiohead and Decemberists. Some really interesting textures in your melody, it shows you have a knack for songwriting.. Very cool!

This is very creative. I like the "so you said" repeated. You really reach for some of it musically, but that makes it interesting.
