Hi all.

I posted this song before as a work in progress, but I feel its as close as its going to be to a finished song now. I think it just needs mastering. I was lucky to get a real drummer and saxophone on this too which has made a real difference.

Like most of my song, it is written about someone I know.


When all the lights go out you’re falling, falling
And you are drifting in a dark dark place

When fire burns so bright the heat burns your eyes
You disappear without a trace

And when religion fails you
And when the church bells toll
And you have nowhere else to turn, at, all

When you deceive yourself and pray for recompense
Its just a mirror and it makes, no sense

And when the well is dry,
And when the flowers die
And when you’re putting up your best, defence

This is not a test,
This is not a game my son
This not a practise run
And while you’re having fun……

This is not a film
This is now reality
And this is how it’s meant to be
You’re not the only one who feels this

Don’t ignore the ones who love you
Don’t betray the ones who care
The one’s you need the most, are the one’s you should keep close
They’re the ones who always will be there

Don’t forget just who you are
You’re a diamond in the rough, a brilliant rising star
Don’t give up on what you want
I’m begging of you please so I’m telling you  in this song…….

Oh man we don't want to go on religion and how it works on biz , Who knows Rightly
Mumble mouth in a Nashville term , on lousy diction , I'm very conscience now in studios
If you sing like Whitney Houston but diction sucks , Ya got fix that , Producers come in handy on all that
Jesus love you and God , lets leave it at that , I have no idea on the rest
I think apple computers are better , You don't get all that bullshit on ads politics ect ect
Maybe later , then you got transfer and all that . I could carless what the worlds doing , music wife and fishing

I like this
creepy lyrics. They fire up my imagination

I've never heard my own laughter
Too in it to take note
an elemental aspect of living, living as opposed to surviving

I remember reading Jesus' life stories as a kid
Sometimes, there was a born again Christian within spitting distance (Evil laugh)
I remember asking if he'd ever come across a JC story where he was actually, intentionally funny
With unusual sobriety the born again said something to the tune of "nothing ages faster than humour"

I've heard Dylan capture humour (at least for me) in a song
With his persona there's a whole lot of setting the context.

It's rare we get humour in a song.

Songwriters will go to any length to give us something to cry about.
just saying

Hey, Great song!

 

I have reread your comment, in the process I give a boost to this song that I like so much and that has aroused so little interest, apart from yours and that of @Elvis Nash
Humor is a natural measurer of emotional intelligence, that's what I think, I'm not intelligent but I am very emotional and quite tragic, I could have been the protagonist of a historical Greek drama!
Every time I listen to the song and hear the laughter that I have put next to mine, I laugh a lot, there is something contagious about it and I love that.
You say you've never heard your recorded laughter? It's just as surprising as when you hear your voice for the first time... but has a special difference, I think laughter depicts many things about oneself.
