FAWM: "Never Odd or Even"

Never Odd or Even

Liner Notes

My right hand is not used to getting the rhythm.

Week one Palindrome challenge! I looked up a list of palindrome phrases and this one stuck out to me. The piano is also palindrome-y.

Lyrics

We were young We were blind We were fools We were holding on the best that we could

We were old We were weak We were deaf We were holding out for a miracle

Where should I go anymore? I can't see Where should I stay anymore? Can't you stay with me?

We were lost We were found We were cold We were reaching for a light in the dark

We were torn We were scared We were sad We were clinging to each other for warmth

Who should I be anymore I can't say Never odd or even here Should I stay this way?

Where should I go anymore I can't see Where should I stay anymore Can't you stay with me

that first ominous bass note - what it reminds me of? Last Blade 2 on the Neogeo perhaps.

I always like that type of thing where you have the short lines and the one longer line of vocals. Explanation not needed I hope. It works great.

Love the piano riff and the lyric motif. Beautiful melody. Never odd or even was my favorite of the palindrome phrases I found too! I used it in mine along with a few others. I love how you buried yours in the lyric just one time. Melancholy and lovely

Great job summoning "palindrome" with that piano riff. I like how you've taken time with the vocals. Very nice!

so FAWM recommended this to me and I was SO confused cause I thought I was looking at the song I just posted because I too am a girl with a piano who wrote a song titled "Never Odd or Even" 😂 So fun to hear another song with the same title! Very cool tune, emotional and I like the left hand work. Has almost a lullaby quality.
