Liner Notes

i wrote this with a plan to do a live one-take outside in the below freezing temperatures. but i missed the daylight, so i figured i'd do a half-decent multi-tracked recording. but i had some troubles with mic latency, and that was all i needed to just do an indoor one-take into my phone.

Lyrics

babička used to sing and dance all day
no matter if mood or weather was all grey
sometimes others found it hard to bring the light
but she would never let the darkness in her sight

babička always used to say to me
when the dark side of the coin moon wouldn’t let me be
you sing what you wanna sing, you see what you wanna see
i remember what babička always used to say to me

keep the inside out
all the light inside
luminate your world
every moment of the ride

maybe the road goes on forever
maybe it’s endless wide
keep the inside out
all the light inside

i’ve loitered in the darkness for so long
i’ve let the broken notes creep into my every (fireball) song
just another blackened hearts club refrain
stumbling groping over enemy terrain

I wanna see all around me get lit
gather up all the brighter moments from all the greatest hits
think about what i wanna sing, think about what i wanna be
i remember what babička always used to say to me

keep the inside out
all the warmth inside
radiate your soul
every moment of the ride

maybe the road goes on forever
maybe it’s endless wide
keep the inside out
all the warmth inside
