Anybody with a Heart

Liner Notes

Well this was fun and yay I was able to make a second song this month! The reason I had time was that boo I caught a stomach bug. The lyrics are probably pretty obvious... I've been feeling pretty nervous about the future with the way things are in the world these days. I'll leave it at that. Typically, I'll just do a quick record with my phone but, this time I decided to play with some garageband features. It's pretty primitive and I left a few mistakes in there because I'm lazy but, I like it. Hope you do too!

Lyrics

Writer with your pen knocked the swords out of our hands and rewrote the script to fit the characters... unfit I was walking on a path my mothers walked before seeing a future ahead Deepening the road for my daughters getting closer to the sun The way was warmer, warmer than expected sweat and tears rolling from the skies soon we realized... the future was on fire

and it burn, burn, burns everything we've worked for burn, burn, burns everything we've made

Wrestle with the pen let's write it all again put somebody else in place someone's got to be the right one to save the human race This time, a woman or even an alien anybody with a heart The future has got to start somewhere

Before it burn, burn, burns everything we worked for burn, burn, burns everything we've made

This time a woman or maybe an alien anybody with a heart can save us anybody with a heart can save us

really like this... some cool imagery like "sweat and tears rolling from the skies" and a really relatable message to boot. trying to comment on the "song" rather than the "demo," but for me the harmonized vocals really add a lot to the overall vibe, and the sparse arrangement is pretty rad.

Really like the lyrics in this. Some great imagery. The harmonies sound awesome throughout. Chorus took me by surprise how it descends with the chords like that. Good stuff. Definitely got some Nirvana vibes from it as @balancelost mentioned.

The sentiment is shared, nicely done lyrically.

The verse is really catchy, melodic with a cool rhythmic hook; and neat harmonies. The chorus when it comes in, then, surprises me with its more dark, modal feel.

As others have mentioned, really nice production.

Terrific harmony, paired nicely with the sparse guitar. A very dark message that is saturating the collective mind. Nice production.

This has a much more dark and brooding quality than your first tune. It almost sounds like a Nirvana tune stripped back with that descending chord pattern in the chorus. I can definitely imagine this with crunchy guitars and drums. Great lyrics.

This is so entrancingly dark sounding…. With the lyrics guiding a nice story, great job !
