Liner Notes

Found this guitar riff saved but forgotten in bandlab from years ago. Wrote some words and it came together pretty quickly. Double tracked the guitar and vocals then added some melodica and a toy glockenspiel.

Lyrics

Get your mind in the right place
Pressure building up with every move you make
I just need a bit more space

Try to focus on the now
I can feel the heat coming off my brain
Turn it round I don't know how

It's hard to really want something and see it slip away
But always remember that this could be the one today

So tired I can barely see
The silence ringing in my ears
Now they're looking right at me

When it's over I'll be glad
I'm running out of time to pull it out the bag
Now every choice I have looks bad

Sometimes it's easy to forget
You're not the only one who does things they regret
And no this isn't over yet.

Meodica and toy glock...hurrah for kid instruments knocking about! Beautiful.

Really dig this! The instrumentation and doubled voice work so well to set the vibe. Great ending too.

The opening chord sequence really drew me in. The melodica makes it really melancholy.

"Now every choice I have looks bad" is a great line.

Seems sad but ends with muted optimism. Really good song.
