Lyrics
Roll me, spin me to the stars Keep me before I spin too far Cut the ties, and I’ll surrender Give you everything you need A heart that’s warm and tender A hunger I can feed
Release me, Float above the world Ease me where the quiet hum is heard Let the stars slip through my fingers Where I sleep on clouds of ice Drift away but I still linger No more ties, I sacrifice
Gravity only likes me when I’m down
Falling, coming back to life Tumbling when the time is right Riding winds to keep me weightless Rushing freely in the night Up above I felt so shameless Up above I’m out of sight
Catch me, crumble like dead leaves Pieces build a melody Sing me a song I won’t remember Build me world I can’t forget A summer in December A life I won’t regret
Gravity only likes me when I’m down

Oof that song title though. You are an excellent singer and musician, but your lyrics! All poetry and rhythm. I am so jealous! But in the best way lol.

Great song title and premise. Your voice is hauntingly beautiful and matches the somber guitar riff. Agree with @resonut123 that a real highlight is the way your voice and guitar play together during the title line. Awesome stuff!

The drop on the fourth line in the verses gets me each time... killer melody and lyrics, killer song @becooljanele 🤘🏻😎

Interesting inspirations for this, but I can hear it. I like the Gravity of how you sing the Gravity lines. Sublime lyric and Very Well sung too.

@williamjames thank you! I want to develop it in when I actually record it, but to play it and sing over it sounded weird and was hard lol 😂 thank you though that’s what I had planned!

The opening riff is very interesting. I would develop that if I was you. Maybe work the verse melody in with the riff underneath. Your vocal delivery is amazingly ethereal again matching the rather dreamlike lyrics. Very nice dreamlike floaty experience listening to this.
