about

What started with a goal to make a song taking full advantage of the big muff to create a fuzzy/warm sounding song ended with a lush love song that I love. This is one of the more personal ones I've written this year and as a result, I delivered a vocal performance I'm really proud of. The rhythm in the verses is a little wonked, but I'm still really happy with this.

P.S: The Mr. Brightide line was because I discovered a YouTube channel that makes music sound as though it's coming from another room, and that coupled with a late night got me to *feel things.*

lyrics

Verse 1:
We're under neon street signs
The sunlight's out of sight
Amateur imagery's her favorite
Or I hope it is

The storm cloud's disapating
I'm free from all my old mistakes
And I'm all set to make some new ones
I'm prepared for this

Chorus:
So, do you agree with me?
We'll never ever be lonely
I'd love to be in love with you
But I know you don't want me to be

I've built it up for weeks
And now I need a sweet release
So cut it mercifully

Verse 2:
And I'm up half past midnight
I'm keeping chronicles in prose
A wordy diatribe that
Doesn't say too much at all

Oppourtune times are finite
Just look at what's already passed
I fall asleep with
"Mr. Brightside" blasting through my wall

Chorus:
So, do you agree with me?
We'll never ever be lonely
I'd love to be in love with you
But I know you don't want me to be

I've built it up for weeks
And now I need a sweet release
So cut it mercifully

*solo*

Bridge:
Gardenias spell her name
The color of my ex's hair
We're leaving in about a day

Chorus:
So, do you agree with me?
We'll never ever be lonely
I'd love to be in love with you
But I know you don't want me to be

I've built it up for weeks
And now I need a sweet release
So cut it mercifully
