Circus Seal

by @matthewsanford

Liner Notes

I picked up my guitar, went what if C to Bm goes Bb to Am after? Some lyrics came, silly stuff, hit record and kept it short and to the point

Lyrics

Why does it seem
I’m living in a dream
Why do I feel
Like a circus seal

Arf! Arf!
And I clap my hands
Arf! Arf!
Do what the man demands

But why do I feel
Like a circus seal?
Arf! Arf!

Interesting chord progression. And the barking is... odd.

Outstanding Arfs. Truly incredible Arfs. The frantic pace adds to the theme of insanity through obedience.

There's this feeling that the progression keeps descending through the whole song. Maybe the seal is diving under the ice as well as clapping.

Haha, this is cool! Made me laugh and play it again.

I like the concept and it rings true. Such a tough way to feel, thank you for sharing! Works as a short song but has promise for more!

Love it, bro. Shades of BNL’s “Little Tiny Song,” for me.

this is so fun. the lyrics are silly but with a deeper kind of darkness about them, which i always love. the chord changes are great! i listened to this a few times in a row. i wanted more!
