All Of It

Liner Notes

Thanks for sending me some words @mctown : it made me get off my bottom and do a song! I did this last week when on holiday. Today I've just recorded it and added a bunch of stuff to make it bigger. It sounds quite different fleshed out: it was just guitar and voice initially. The bridge is a bit weak - I just kind of messed around until I thought I had something okay, and then I couldn't think of anything better.

The ominous electrical humming in the second verse is intentional! I thought it sounded cool but it might be nonsense.

Lyrics

I walk in a silent storm
In this world I was born
Dreams scatter like rabbits
And my doubts still roar

In this garden of truth
Grow a new crop of lies
I’ve had my own secrets
I must now confide

As the storm blows it all up
Twists and turns through your love
I hold my ground
But my feet begin to lift
And I realize
This could be all of it
All of it

The sky is no paradise
Nothing to sing about
Blue rankles and dangles
Until I scream aloud

As the storm blows it all up
Twists and turns through your love
I hold my ground
But my feet begin to lift
And I realize
This could be all of it
All of it

Wearing your knees out from kneeling
May help us all out in the dealing
And what is left all of all that’s revealing

As the storm blows it all up
Twists and turns through your love
I hold my ground
But my feet begin to lift
And I realize
This could be all of it
All of it
