Where Now?

NSFWLiner Notes
I didn't mean to stay up late again but then a chord thing happened and then I was thinking about the #political thoughts bouncing around my head from finishing the novel Alien Clay and then this happened. I want to revisit the lyrics (and the off kilter singing) but thought I'd get something rough down. Enjoy!
Lyrics
Non final off the top of my head lyrics that still feel emotionally right:
calling from the undergrowth holding hands to take the oath You’re the idea I love the most A box of empty deadly ghosts
approach the subject take the test give me a chance and fuck the rest approach the subject from your eyes and then we’ll see with no disguise
Calling from the undergrowth holding hands to take the oath we don't know what we’re doing but we’ll try our best we’re not thinking that far ahead now
look out me I’ll look for them you’ll look out for you I know it’s true look out for me I’ll look out for you you’ll look out for them I know it’s true

"You're the idea I love the most." :-) Like how you affected your voice but also glad I can read the lyrics while listening. Nice melody. Cool production. Yes, agreed, this feels emotionally right.

This has a nice drive to it - I like "A box of empty deadly ghosts" - cool line. Digging the theremin-y vocal at the end -

A nice reminder of how much I love shoegaze, though I forget about it. Something about the way the heart massaging beat takes over and lets the lyrics float around less important that they think they are. Then that opening up when the lyrics briefly drop out - and the simpler cycle of look out lines.
