Pretty proud of this. A great song, one of my favourites, which is why I chose to do it as soon as I (somehow) got Audacity working, and also got my SM58 mic to finally record instruments (I had to turn its volume up stupidly loud).
Anyway, that makes this my first 'proper' produced song, hopefully I'll get better at the mixing side of stuff in future. { Tags : Blue, Light, Bloc, Party, Cover, Full }
You'll find it hiding in shadows
You'll find it hiding in cupboards
It will walk you home safe every night
It will help you remember
If that's the way it is
Then that's the way it is
I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
What could I ever run to?
Just tell me it's tearing you apart
Just tell me you cannot sleep
If that's the way it is
Then that's the way it is
And I didn't even notice
When the sky turned blue
And we couldn't tell the difference
Between me and you
And I nearly didn't notice
The gentlest feeling
First fully written-then-recorded song I've ever done, with lyrics + vocal melody etc...
I wrote the general music in early-mid 2006, then wrote the lyrics within an hour of recording everything else. { Tags : Behind, mattyp90, original }
So here we stand
End of the line
So much unplanned
I never saw so far
Cut me off
Put me out of your mind
Cross me off your list
And leave me far behind
You say we must move on
I say I've got to hold on
To the bits and pieces I have seen
Or do you live just to forget again?
Cut me off...
In a foreign place
I couldn't match your pace
Now, not a friendly face
Could remove this taste
Of keeping my mouth shut when I wanted to speaker louder than I ever had before but then I always let these moments pass
Autumn time reminds me of you
Gives me a reminiscent view
I walk along the garden path
Towards a scene from the past
Climbing into trees
I scrape my hands and my knees
Weaker leaves begin to fall
As if they couldn't hold on
Your legs, they won't carry you anymore
A swallowing disease
The more it takes the less you feel
We dread the future just in case
We are the memories that it takes
Half the size you used to be
Behind your eyes, a vacancy
Where once was colour; hazy grey
We think about you everyday
Your eyes, they don't recognise me anymore
It tears us up inside
Broken hearts and warped minds
When it decides that it's your time
We'll be the ones it leaves behind
There is no way out
