Wring Me Out
Liner Notes
I was inspired to write a little different than I normally do, so instead of my usual 60’s 70’s inspirations, I decided to change decades and try my fav 90s grunge bands. Specifically Unplugged Nirvana and Alice and Chains. #grunge #rock #acoustic #singersongwriter #guitar #acousticonetake #acousticrock
Lyrics
My warm embrace sets me apart But I lost control of all my thoughts Knowing the truth has left me scarred A souvenir tied up in knots
Wherever I go, whatever I see Is bound to a lasting memory Hooked to a rope, hard to believe Dangling right in front of me
Can you tell me what is happening to me? Can you tell me?
I’m the moss on all the trees I’m soaking up the information I’m the clay in all the streams I’m shaping up a new formation I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge You will never wring me out
4am I woke up again Reliving a memory in a dream I can recall the air that I breathed Was rougher than a falling stream
I’m full of tension, about to burst It’s not fueling anything that works Heart is racing, pacing eyes Lurking somewhere I haven’t searched
Can you tell me what is happening to me? Can you tell me?
I’m the moss on all the trees I’m soaking up the information I’m the clay in all the streams I’m shaping up a new formation I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge Can you help to wring me out?
Wring me out to dry
I’m the moss on all the trees I’m soaking up the information I’m the clay in all the streams I’m shaping up a new formation I’m like a sponge, I’m like a sponge Can you help to wring me out?

ooo, love it when you let that high register ring! great imagery with the moss and the clay and the whole chorus with its cadences is infectious! Great unplugged grunge vibe too!

This has a great melody to it and I really enjoyed the sound of your voice with the guitar. You’re right, it has a real 90’s Unplugged feeling to it.

Mmm.. I like the vibe. It's got a bluesy kind of thing going on..and very melodic at the same time. Your voice 😍 ❤

Totally sounds like a Cantrell riff! Wish MTV still did unplugged cause you'd be up there! 😀 also you have excellent taste, I love AiC.
What a beautifully haunting melody, you have a great singing voice. Well done 👏🏻

I'm into 90s grunge (AiC is one of my all-time favorite bands), so this was a treat! Cool progression, and I think you nailed the melody sensibilities of the era. Great lyrics too! Love it!
