Liner Notes

Can't think of what the title should be for this.. any suggestions?

Lyrics

I’d rather be among the living on the day of the dead
I’d rather be quiet helper than a figurehead
I neither wanna join the race
Nor stand still in one same place
I’d rather be gently quirky than a giant jerk

I’d rather spend the day alone than out with friends
Well I love ya but the social stuff - it really gives me the bends
I like to wander in my own head
Even better when I’m lyin’ in bed
I’d rather spend some time with me, if you know what I mean

Time flies quickly
Or it drags its feet
Some days you drive and some
You ride the back seat
Whether carousel or rollercoaster
Life’s what you make, to shun or savour, fear or favour, choose your flavour

I’d rather dance an awkward jig to my own drum
Then follow along and pretend I’m having fun
I don’t mind breaking the rules
I don’t mind looking the fool
I’d rather be a clown than a fiend, if you know what I mean

I like this! Many relatable lines. Two possible titles you may have already considered: The Clown or The Fiend, The Figurehead

I think I would call it. Time in my head! Ha asking for a title made me listen carefully but it was worthwhile! Very good song.

first i want to say this is another amazing song. you never disappoint. great melodies and harmonies, as always. it’s so catchy.

if this was one of my songs and i was trying to come up with a name i might choose some of the phrases that are repeated in the lyrics, like:

i’d rather
if you know what i mean
do you know what i mean

OR i might grab some fun phrases from the lyrics that don’t repeat, like:

carousel or rollercoaster
giant jerk
awkward jig
among the living on the day of the dead

there are so many great lyrics with interesting phrases here. but you could always call it something totally different that isn’t a lyric. this is a tough one. anyway i hope my rambling helped at least a little

I totally know what you mean! Great song! I really like the melody and your voice. The lyrics that stood out to me that I think could make a good title for this is "Gently Quirky"
