Liner Notes

This quickly written, #acousticonetake started as a jokey message with a friend 2 days ago. She told she had come out of hospital with "vicious, dark circles on my face". I suggested it was a great name for an album. Then I decided to write the title track for the album.

Lyrics

‘VICIOUS & DARK CIRCLES’
Vicious and dark circles
Dragging me down
Vicious and dark circles
Can’t tell air from ground

Vicious and dark circles
Pull me in
Who knows where they end
Or how they begin?
How they begin?

Vicious and dark circles
Sharp edge of a whirlpool
I was not taken unaware
But taken like a fool

Spinning hypnotic
In I stumbled
Watery spiral
Drawing me under
Drawing me under
Vicious and dark circles
Hateful hurricanes
Tearing up trees, towers, tenements
Without restraint

Smashing everything in reach
Like cheap toys
Don’t need to get swept up
You could die from the noise
Die from the noise

Vicious and dark circles
Shadows seal my fate
Black, black holes
Infinity of space

Murdering stars
Swallowing hungry
Until there is nothing left
Then it comes round again
It comes round again
It comes round again

Great title and I like the late night jazzy feel (although that mood is actually improved by the slightly unsettling tension you add to it). It might be dark, but it's effective... I agree with Graham, I could see this as Grinning Scarecrows song 😊

@bradgates 4d

Definitely Grinning Scarecrows material. Nice guitar work. Like it. This would sound good with double bass and congas, possibly some muted trumpet too.

Really lovely guitar playing and chord choices, love the emotion in the vocals

That's a keeper. Possibly my favourite song of yours from this FAWM. Great chords progression. The melody is very catchy and the lyrics are superb. Well done.
