Every Pose Is Empty

Liner Notes

#garagerock
Well, I gave it a go. As I always say, I'm an idea man, not an execution man. Another one in my songish cycle, and a bookend to the first song (Every Rose Is Empty)

Lyrics

You can set your mind
On Heaven
You can turn your eyes
Forever
Upward to the sky
And never
Get at what the next life holds

You can turn your mind...
To heaven
And not know what the next life holds

Strike an empty pose
And fill it
Pluck an empty rose
And smell it
Strike an empty pose
And feel it
Who knows what the next life holds

Strike an empty pose...
And fill it
Who knows what the next life holds

Your lyrics are wonderful and thought provoking. Great work on the guitar. The arrangement is good, and leaves room for further development.

@berni1954 5w

Oh yes, this is well worth developing fully.
Those missing out on "carpe diem" in favour of "pie in the sky" are missing out IMHO

@daveyboy103 6w

This is very fabulously laid back in delivery and the sparseness of the arrangement suits the subject very well indeed. The guitar tracking gthe melody is genius. Good job. Short too, sweet

@kahlo2013 6w

This is fantastic! You had a great idea here and you executed it quite well. Love the chorus! Love the concept and your development of it!

@fuzzy 6w

" I'm an idea man, not an execution man."
Yeah, me too.
I'm liking your quiet approach to vox.
The guitar line is super appealing.
Nicely done.

@ayais 6w

So calm and clean. Execution great - what are you thinking? Your abstractions are really growing on me.

@odilongreen 7w

The stuttering, almost soft-punk, hard-pop feel of this is very cool. And your vocals, as always for me, completely sweep me away.

@gwynjones 7w

Instant assimilation into the hippocampus for this one...short, sweet and to the point...top stuff!

@catmisgivings 7w

my guy. this is the grooviest thing i've ever heard you play. literally toe-tapping. i love that it's so clearly part of your song cycle and also so individual and its own thing.

@ttg105 7w

Nice, almost Western-sounding guitar. Chorus really grabs you! "Who knows what the next life holds" is a great refrain.

@jerrypettit 7w

REALLY liking your vocal and treatment thereof. (What's your vocal chain?) Great lyrics and an all-around terrific song. ❤️

@cjk 7w

Intriguing lyrics very well put to music and voice.

@billwhite51 7w

on the contrary, you are expert at the execution of your ideas. what you lack is a producer, and that is (artistically) a good thing because there is not a lot of crap dressing up your recording and minimizing the bare bones of genius on display,

@sbs 7w

Intriguing lyrics. Super cool beat with your lovely vocals. Your take on “Strike A Pose.” Way too short. 🙀

@mahtowin 7w

I really like the idea of playing with text lines! Maybe I'll pick up on that.

This song is a little different than your others. It sounds more like a band.
I like everything about it and wish it was longer.
I'm repeating myself, but I particularly like your calm way of singing. It's more reserved, almost whispered at times. This creates a special atmosphere.
Lyrically, I really like how you play with an idea and develop it further!

Very, very nice!

@robynmackenzieMod 7w

This is great. Love the doubled vocals, and the softness with which you deliver the lyric. There's a restrained energy here that I just can't get enough of.

@coolparadisoMod 7w

ah i think they call that faith! unfortunately i come from the doubting thomas clan. quintessential FSY. and as interesting and enjoyable as always.
