Tumble-dried
Liner Notes
With 50/90 in mind, I got motivated to make some music - finally - after months of not being able to write, though I badly wanted to. But something - probably my inner critic and perfectionist, and the voice that I should rather finish my old songs - kept me away. So this song started some days before 4th of July, but as I don't reach for 50 songs, I don't care if it "counts" or not.
My new playmate - the SOMA Cosmos Looper - which you can hear in the end, was actually the beginning of this project. The lyrics, as often for me, came as I sang along with imaginary words and nonsense. I don't know what tumble-dried dreams are, but I liked the image and went along with it. I don't know if I'll stick with the title of the song, right now it feels more like a placeholder.
Gear:
- SOMA Cosmos

Lyrics
Our dreams are tumble-dried
Ironed, folded
Versions of ourselves
And there's no need to hide
Them under our bed
Got my expectations wired
Around you like
Moon to earth to sun
When moving like the tides
Is all I want
So break me,
Make me feel alive
Oh, touch me
Barely like a cloud
So break me
Make me feel alive
Oh, touch me
Barely with your love
Comments
I wondered what would happen for the last minute after the lyrics ended and it was a captivating time, even though it was only 40 seconds...
Note song ends 3.05 but track length is 3.25...
