Brain on the Runway

Liner Notes

This tune originally began as just a loop of G and A, which I was using to try and make a Weezer-sounding template last year... then, perhaps inevitably, a melody appeared, which I tucked away for FAWM.

The lyrics might sound a bit cryptic if you're not from NZ, but anyone who IS from NZ will know exactly what/who it's about. (Spoiler alert: It's about our piss-poor landlord-loving excuse of prime minister. Yes, he does have a bald head. Looks like a frickin' egg.)

Took ages to mix this vocal. God I hate my voice. Got a few more in progress to get done by the end of this month...

Drums: Kontakt Just Add Drums
Bass: Kontakt Prime Bass
Guitars: Les Paul knockoff through Orange Crush amp
Synths: Minimonsta

Vocals partly through Ovox.

Lyrics

how i wish i was like the PM
never ever aware
failing ever up because i'm white
and i've got a bald head

there is nothing that could ever happen
that would get me out of my chair

and did i tell you i used to run an airline?
and did you notice that i was born on cloud nine?

and i can't recall my name
and i don't remember my birthday
and i have no recollection of being elected

and i can't recall my wife's name
and i don't remember her birthday
remember her birthday
brain on the runway

i don't even know what i'd be worth
if i wasn't a punchline
would i really earn millions of bucks
without giving a fuck?

i get miserable looking at polls
showing everyone hates me

and did i tell you i used to run an airline?
and did you notice that i was born on cloud nine?

and i can't recall my name
and i don't remember my birthday
and i have no recollection of being elected

and i can't recall my wife's name
and i don't remember her birthday
remember her birthday
brain on the runway
brain on the runway
brain on the runway
brain on the runway
brain on the runway
