Liner Notes

Not an incredibly chipper one today, but hopefully still fun. Lyrics are inspired by the shit that's been happening in the u.s. cause I think it’s kinda obligatory that we’ll all be writing about that at least once, right?

Instrumentally I am continuing the empty house recording saga and this time I did hand claps and stomping work boots on the ground in my echo-y garage. Ain't a trace of plugin reverb on this track baybee!
Oh and the bass was played on acoustic guitar and pitched down and octave.

Lyrics

eyes open see, you are waiting for me when I don't want you to be
freed from the sheets, I'm afraid I'm still asleep in a dreadful dream

I don't wanna be fightin' your fight
it's not the one I asked for but you pushed it down my throat
and it's tight and sore... Gotta push it away because
I don't wanna be livin' this life
it's far away from what I'd hope this dream would be
could you get your lips away from the mic

freedom to be someone that they strictly force you into being
something we've seen, what a sight it would've been in some old magazine
...and I gotta be honest with you

I don't wanna be fightin' your fight
it's something I'd expect as fiction on TV
better get your shit together it seems
turn my head away before
I give up on fighitn' my fight
I'll let you push and shove until I cannot breathe

you won't get your way
you won't win this fight

oh this hits so many good buttons. The sound is really rich! Love 'freed from the sheets, I'm afraid I'm still asleep' and 'something we've seen, what a sight it would've been in some old magazine'. The sentiment of the song really nails it (unfortunately, right?)

@max 1w

Love this. A real treat for the listener. Great songcrafting.

The garage verb goes crazy 🔥 love your vocal tone, has just the right amount of grit. Definitely leaning into some Elliot Smith vibes 💚 and that acoustic solo part at the end is lovely

@kvnwoodruff 2w

Damn dude, this one slaps. Garage verb for the win. You are on your way to something this year so far.

My favorite line is “could you get your lips away from the mic”. Um, yup.

@pumpkinhead 2w

Very nice melody and harmonies and that shift inte major (I believe) is so refreshing. That bass is so smooth and heavy, could never have guessed it to be a guitar.
I prefer love/peace lyrics, too much shit happening everywhere and music is my safe haven. Take care ☮️

@cblack 2w

Wow! This sounds great! A quality song, plenty of air, yet still energetic enough to rock. I like it. 😀

Playing bass with acoustic guitar and tuning down is such a fun production trick and gets your job done for your demos. I love how the acoustic guitar compliments your vocals - reminds me of Elliot Smith. Great stuff!!
