Liner Notes

#indiepop #emo #duet
Actually, I don't really know what this genre is. Suggestions welcomed...

@sync says: I'm so grateful that @alphagal could sing on my song! And let me borrow her Silvertone with the Nashville strings to boot!
@alphagal says: When would I ever get another chance to sing nostril or pimple?!?

Lyrics

Hats mop diesel then door stop pamper fan
Mall hearts but knot dull hamster Fortran
Quiet quiet the mud now poster floor
All talk spigot and fossil no more

Amount grave nostril Toucan

Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand me?

Every always that event unto fried
Heavy hallways and lunge dioxide
Distance marble reflect bat pimple day
More bit wire mom gnat plug and play

And crawl form corset sun tan

Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand me?

And black is blue
And red is white
And up is down
And left is right
And hard is soft
And loose is tight
And I just can't let go
My pain talks to your pain
And that's who we know
Here we go...

Ipsum and lorem et al

Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand?
Why can't you understand me?

I like embodying disconnect in the lyrics and capturing feeling through the sounds of words. Good work and thanks for your kind words

This is so cool. Sounds terrific to me sonically and emotionally. I think that flute-sounding part builds some nice tension like an ambulance siren or alarm in the background.

@sync you're a genius!!! Lol....i see what you did here. *kow tow*

I love the production on this. It sounds like 'Because the Night' by Patti Smith.

Love these vocals! Cool overlapping line n then the harmonies sound great. Love the modulation into chorus, what a catchy banger! Love the lyrics, nothing like a bit o Latin too (?)

@richaux 2w

This is rather fine. I like the simmering edginess that the lyrics, chromatic steps (?), monotone beeps and overall delivery bring.

I'm not good at the genre game. Usually, ignorance is no barrier to an opinion on my part... but I'm not able to add anything.

@nadine 2w

Abstract lyrics on indie rock are finally back! You do hamonise so well

IMHO, this fits comfortably into "#rock" but #indiepop works as well. The guitar solo is understated but sounds great. It has a very 60's Brit-Rock vibe to it, too, and the modulation at 2:10 elevates it from basic to interesting. Superb vocals, and I love the morse code organ at the end.
