Break This Angel
Liner Notes
Been a hot second since an honest to god rock song came out -- fun to stretch those muscles, for sure for sure. Lyrics are also more gestural than anything else, but they feel good to sing. #singersongwriter #queer #personwithpiano
Lyrics
We’ve got your number Hide away Don’t shape another Brighter day This younger brother’s Gonna stay
Sing into cyclones Prettily Dumbbells and smartphones For a fee Screams from these old bones Gonna see See
Take this danger away Make this anger stay Break this angel in me Oh, no, you said so Take this danger away Make this anger stay Break this angel in me Oh, no, you said so
Dry out your sorrow Let it stay There’s no tomorrow Anyway Buy beg or borrow From today
All that you thought would Never be Jump scared your conscience Lovingly And even still you refused to see See
Take this danger away Make this anger stay Break this angel in me Oh, no, you said so Take this danger away Make this anger stay Break this angel in me Oh, no, you said so
Comments
the MOVEMENT of this one! it feels urgent, like it has no choice but to take off. The moments where it comes down for a landing right before the "Take this danger away" section gives it some nice levity.
A really interesting structure! I like the two different paces and nice key flourishes and some very classical.piano as well. very nice.
