about

This is a song about my feelings of being disconnected from my peers, or otherwise people I know but have little confidence in talking to.

The lyrics were influenced by a handful of David Bowie songs. The track is mostly in 4/4, but briefly switches to 3/4 at the end of each chorus.

I played all of the instruments and sang lead and backing vocals. The bass and electric guitars were recorded via my Steinberg audio interface, the drums were recorded via MIDI in Mixcraft (dating back to 2018), and the vocals and acoustic guitar were recorded via my Android phone.

With the lead guitar, I attempted to channel Robert Fripp's guitar lines and effects on "Heroes".

The song was written in February 2018.

lyrics

Two of us face to face
Guitar in hand, I walk the line
Will things be the same tomorrow?
Oh man, who really knows?

You feel like you're on your own
Reality is stranger than known
Everyone's just faces in the crowd
A show of fools, erratic and loud
I withdraw

I'm lost in this world
And I told you how I felt
You spoke of your surprise
And how it was so peculiar

You feel like you're on your own
Reality is stranger than known
Everyone's just faces in the crowd
A show of fools, erratic and loud
I withdraw

It's been a long time since we spoke
In all certainty, life is no joke
Whether or not we break free
It doesn't really matter to me

You feel like you're on your own
Reality is stranger than known
Everyone's just faces in the crowd
A show of fools, erratic and loud
I withdraw
I withdraw
I withdraw
