A rock tune that I wrote for the Express Yourself Contest 2023 by furrymusicians. It drips with melancholy and bittersweet chords from a jazz bass; A mood that teases a hopeful future but is drowned in a haze. I write about that future as if a playful dream of the past. One that is repeatedly disturbed, pulling the dreamer back to the dreary. A circumstance that I resonate to. I'm hoping to write this into a full song to be put on my first album. The art is a placeholder from DALL-E mini. I wrote and produced this song alone using Pro Tools, Guitar Pro 7, my bass, and a dingy $10 microphone... it's all I have.
Lyrics:
Waiting for the sun to set
The season’s end
To embark our journey
In tune, we shall ride the sea
Begone with me to greater oceans
Hang the curtain over my eyes and
Add a weight to pull and clock to turn
Separate behind a guise to
Live a lie and
Deny fate
Cast on upon a lake of dreams
Ensnare a scene of a wholesome family
Oasis in memory
Simplicity then
Again I’m awoken…
