Liner Notes

#rock #alternative #poppunk

hello

I haven't been feeling very inspired musically for quite a long time, which is annoying and sad! I don't know how much I'll be able to do this FAWM, but at least I've done this :)

It didn't come together that easily, I recorded the guitar parts without any thought about the vocals and then it was difficult to find something that worked. They're a bit last minute and dodgy.

I used a new digital amp which sort of makes guitars sound good more easily but also seems to make them kind of flat and hard to mix? Maybe I'm just not used to it yet/doing it wrong

as usual my temptation is to write more about everything I think is wrong with the track but I'll refrain and I do quite like it overall anyway. thank's

Lyrics

down down
throw me into
the pool

a penny drops
and a penny drops
for you

that all your secret wishes
and all your hopes and dreams
won't come true

need some change
to feel whole

so join me here
at the fountain floor

where all the secret wishes
all the hopes and dreams
live on

Great sound, I dig it!

Oof, love the HIGH energy, and yet again I envy your compressed, explosive sound. The uplifting yet melancholic riff reminded me a bit of Mutemath, and the synth and vocals fit right in. Hope to here more from you this year!

oh wow. this is sick. right up my alley. guitar tones are absolutely on point. drums too. the keyboard part really takes it to the next level too. couldn't stop head banging after the guitar break. fantastic song, really. keep them coming! 😄

This is ##### awesome. I feel like band comparisons is a bad thing but I will do it anyway; It's like Cloud Nothings and Cribs with "Feed Me With Your Kiss" dynamics. It definitely does not sound like someone who is not inspired, quite the contrary. I know we are not in close contact but if there is anything I can do to help you get inspired I want to do it, encouragement/collab/tiddlywinks tips, then let me know cos you're amongst my favourite fawmers and I need more circle in my loife.

Powerful blasts of guitar! SO rocking and in-your-face. Great riff! Love it when that keyboard (guitar?) enters and the soloing at the end. Vocals are good but too low in the mix.

Hell yeah big noisy guitars! The bass is huge too. Really enjoying the energy here, hope a penny drops for you in terms of inspiration because I wanna hear more more more!

Like the attack of this song! The guitar really drive the tune. Showing my age but reminds me a lot of THE JAM!
