FAWM: "Wring Me Out"

Wring Me Out

Liner Notes

I was inspired to write a little different than I normally do, so instead of my usual 60’s 70’s inspirations, I decided to change decades and try my fav 90s grunge bands. Specifically Unplugged Nirvana and Alice and Chains. #grunge #rock #acoustic #singersongwriter #guitar #acousticonetake #acousticrock

Lyrics

My warm embrace sets me apart
But I lost control of all my thoughts
Knowing the truth has left me scarred
A souvenir tied up in knots

Wherever I go, whatever I see
Is bound to a lasting memory
Hooked to a rope, hard to believe
Dangling right in front of me

Can you tell me what is happening to me?
Can you tell me?

I’m the moss on all the trees
I’m soaking up the information
I’m the clay in all the streams
I’m shaping up a new formation
I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge
You will never wring me out

4am I woke up again
Reliving a memory in a dream
I can recall the air that I breathed
Was rougher than a falling stream

I’m full of tension, about to burst
It’s not fueling anything that works
Heart is racing, pacing eyes
Lurking somewhere I haven’t searched

Can you tell me what is happening to me?
Can you tell me?

I’m the moss on all the trees
I’m soaking up the information
I’m the clay in all the streams
I’m shaping up a new formation
I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge
Can you help to wring me out?

Wring me out to dry

I’m the moss on all the trees
I’m soaking up the information
I’m the clay in all the streams
I’m shaping up a new formation
I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge
Can you help to wring me out?

This has a great melody to it and I really enjoyed the sound of your voice with the guitar. You’re right, it has a real 90’s Unplugged feeling to it.

Mmm.. I like the vibe. It's got a bluesy kind of thing going on..and very melodic at the same time. Your voice 😍 ❤

Totally sounds like a Cantrell riff! Wish MTV still did unplugged cause you'd be up there! 😀 also you have excellent taste, I love AiC.

What a beautifully haunting melody, you have a great singing voice. Well done 👏🏻
