Liner Notes

The first thing I pictured when I saw the prompt "Bungee" was those little toy cars that you pull back to let them zoom forward. It turns out those aren't actually Micro Machines but ah well. :) The verse lyrics were very stream of consciousness and I didn't want to edit them. Written in 40 minutes but went overtime as usual trying to get a good take.

Lyrics

I’m tied to you like a moth on a string
like a moth on a string
like a moth on a string
and you are the lamp that I am drawn to

I spin my wheels like a micro machine
like a micro machine
like a micro machine
and you are the hand, the hand that binds

CHORUS 1:
On your mark get set now ready go
I’m ready, ready go
You let me fly, oh you let me fly, oh you let me fly
and I'm free
But no matter how far I go
no matter how far I fly
your fingers find me
you pull me back to earth and launch me

CHORUS 2:
On your mark get set now ready go
Let go, not ready no
Don’t tell me to fly, I can make me fly
and I don’t need you
I’m free
Will you just stop watching, please
Get your fingers off me
Stop chasing my dreams
Stop bringing me back earth to launch me

Very pretty, nice guitar work...acceptance then the desire for independence. Also catchy with classic Debs harmonies. Well done, Debs.

such a pleasant to hear. great singing and playing, very gently played guitar and your voice is so beautiful... those background vocals are perfect and your vocals and background vocals sound really good together. i enjoy listening to this. the song sounds great. skirmish fun.
