Liner Notes

#dark #soundscape #Alternative

I wrote this as a little acoustic number but heard a FAWMer using some excellent soundscapes yesterday so wanted to blow the dust off of my Electro-Harmonix Cathedral reverb pedal and this dark unsettling song came out of it. Quite a change from the happy bouncy little song that I originally wrote! It all came together so quickly as well and I think it sounds like I've spent a bit of time on it.

The inspiration for the lyrics was a quote I heard on a telly programme I'm watching. The quote was, "Tip the world over on its side, and everything loose will land in Los Angeles,”- Frank Lloyd Wright.
When I heard it, I thought, I'm having that!

Lyrics

Tip the world up on its side,
and everything that’s not tied down,
will all amass beneath our feet,
And so on,
rinse and repeat,
And all the while we end up with,
what we all deserve to get,
So be kind,
And let them be,
I know they’d do the same for me.

Use your sympathy,
If you’ve any,
Kindness is a gift,
That comes at such a little cost.

We kinda lived before we died,
If you skip to the end you’ll find,
We shoulda oughta lived a fuller life,
We used it up, forgot the hay,
That we made on those sunny days,
Before the world got hot and just gave up.
