Liner Notes

written right after midnight local time february 1.
finally sat down to record something... it was supposed to sound something like this, i guess...

Lyrics

moving hands time the game round round round same same same

hours and minutes ours and theirs songs at midnight
musical chairs

play the intro hatch yer plan first midnight
since the new age began

orbs in motion time in flux missing seasons bag full of fucks

chords and chorus lost romance songs at midnight
sleepless dance

talk about the passion machine learned rage first midnight
since we turned the page

clock strike echoes down each lonely path premonitions of the aftermath

cartoon faces clandestine raids songs at midnight
harmony fades

reconsider wayward ways first midnight
for the rest of my days

Hey there, "first song of FAWM starts a capella" twin ;) This is great. The lyrics strike me as very Dylanesque, all these scraps of powerful imagery piled up leaning casually on each other, making a kind of kaleidoscopic patchwork of a song that's threaded together by the slowly expanding instrumental backing.

Love the lyricism here - nice buried intro. Personally the guitar and piano is enough for me, but the beat does keep a nice pace with your lyrics.
