Hold on to the Fear

Liner Notes

Righto, I've got a bunch of songs that have pretty much gotta be finished today...

Here's the first. A warm-up, vocally, if you will. Just a demo.

This song emerged from a little idea I recorded in August. Very little, which might explain its length.

Lyrics

gotta work at 6am
but i don't want to
gotta pay rent, gotta eat food
gotta feed the slot machines
that we call our lives
pull the lever, you might be surprised

yeah, but i really don't want to
had enough of playing cards
had enough of rolling dice
yeah, and i really don't want to
hold my hand despite the pair
gotta hold on to the fear
gotta hold on to the fear
hold on to the fear of failure

never wanted to be king
no i don't want to
gotta make calls i don't want to
gotta make a bet or die
wither on the vine
pull the lever, you might be surprised

yeah, but i really don't want to
had enough of playing cards
had enough of rolling dice
yeah, and i really don't want to
hold my hand despite the pair
gotta hold on to the fear
gotta hold on to the fear
hold on to the fear of failure

Love the beatle like melody. You even say lever like you’re from Liverpool (do kiwis say it that way too and I just didn’t realize?!). Again, like the other song of yours I’ve listened to so far, your production is just spectacular. You got a link to your published songs?
