Sad About Us

Shine a light on the heart of a mystery,
Change the future with a butterfly's wings.
The world looks better when it's spinning round,
Falling in the gutter with a crashing sound.
Try to forget it's a matter of trust,
And that's so sad about us.

It's just a whisper in the arms of a memory,
It's just a picture in a passing thought.
I feel better when there's words to say,
I wait for a moment and they've all gone anyway.
One that doesn't,
And one that does,
That's so sad about us.

(middle eight)

I never wanted this to happen (everytime).
I never wanted to be:
Making a connection on a different line,
Waiting for a moment in another time,
Between the pain and the pleasure - where do you draw the line?


It's just a whisper in the arms of a memory,
It's just a picture in a passing thought.
I feel better when there's words to say,
I wait for a moment and they've all gone anyway.
One that doesn't,
And one that does,
That's so sad about us.

Man this is good - superbly recorded and really nice lyrics , the instrumentation and arrangement is awesome

The female voice is stunning , so much so that the male voice sounds completely wrong next to it Its like Kirsty and Shane all over again

Absolute professional stuff

Just brilliant !

The production , the song, the voices - and the animation work perfectly; so impressed ( especially as someone struggling to learn Flash right now.)

It shows what can be done. Excellent.

i've come back for another listen, can only be a good thing!!!!! great track.

hi estreet
sounds perfect.
really enjoying it
hats off,
nooms

Hiya

I can only repeat what everyone else has said. It's really, really good.

Production sounds fantastic. Female vocalist is the strongest 

I was getting Cindy Lauper with the vocals, very nice.

I really loved it when everything kicked back in just when you thought it was over.

Did I hear voices right at the end? 

Great song.

No, no voices at the end Scha - just harmonica (does this mean you're hearing voices? haha)
Kafla,I'm well aware of the shortcomings of my own voice against a 'proper' singer like Julie. She casts a harsh light!
However, this song is not 'typical' of the stuff I write for our band 'eden' with it's slightly retro vibe and elements of pastiche so I'm more out of my comfort zone than usual. Normally, the reason I sing the songs is because I write them and they are very personal to me
So despite the fact that I don't have the greatest voice, it's sort of how it has to be.
Sometimes I'm interested in how a song would sound sung by someone else and I'll do a completely different production of it.
I'll post one such example with links to both versions soon.

Great video E and for some reason it reminds me of an acoustic Owl City feel on the melody  quirky good balance on mix and instrumentation .
With respect  on your vocals- slightly off tune now and again ( thats probally why Owl City use autotune  but there is something going on with this song Ican still sing the so sad about us 2 hours later always a good pointer to a good song.

really great, great vocals and a very professional recording

hard to give any useful feedback, it just sounds great

fantastic, catchy song. i don,t agree about the two voyces mixing together though.
