First submission for the Furry Musicians Express Yourself Contest 2021.
This is an short acoustic song I was playing around with but never had a reason to record till now. It's in a Beatles/R.E.M. vein and lyrically inspired by Crash Test Dummies' style of 'what if' songs. It's a song imagining how people would react if I died, particularly if they were people who hurt me. It's a pretty morbid subject, but I needed to get it out of my system and I think the tune's pretty catchy. Simple enough to, that it fits within the minute required by the contest, so there we go.
Lyrics:
I wish I was dead, just for a moment
Watching the world from above
Would they admit that they didn't want this
And I should come back down to earth
Would the false friends I've had look back and say
If only we could've made it up someday?
And my family would be lost for a while
But my burden would be lifted and I could just smile
Floating above the world
Looking down on those who've hurt me
If they'd only admit they were wrong in this lifetime
I wouldn't have to think this way
But for now I'll just hope for the best
Instead of moping I'll just be productive I guess
