Love Sick

NSFW Skirmish: What kind of blues are th... (@dudachris)

Liner Notes

It's been a while since I posted a song, but I've been writing a ton, just several at once so expect more to come. This song came about from a skirmish called #WhatKindofBluesAreThese. I wrote the riff and before I knew it hours had passed and I knew this wasn't going to be a simple write. This is the "first" draft, meaning the lyrics and sections are complete, the song feels whole, but I believe there will be rewrites. I liked the play on words with being love sick and being sick of love, but the more I sang it the more I think the focus shifted to falling in love while "sick" while not focused on personal healing. I don't know the lyrics reflect that meaning yet, but I was itching to post. So here's track 5, and I definitely plan to complete this challenge by the end of the month. Some tracks will be produced like this one and others will be me and a guitar. So stay tuned! #pop #indiepop #lovesong #breakup #singersongwriter

Lyrics

All by myself I've gone and changed my mind no more leading like I'm blind All by myself I've turned and walked away from your cheating lying games And all by myself I've learned to help the one who needs it and right now that one's me All by myself I'll find the time to figure out who I'm gonna be now

Fuck it I'm fine now I've got this side of me that decided to fuck it I'm fine now So sick of everything but mostly sick of falling in love sick

Falling in love sick, falling in love sick, of falling in love, sick of falling in love, sick of falling in love sick, falling in love sick, of falling in love, so sick of falling in love.

All by yourself you'll have no one to love you barely even like yourself much All by yourself you'll hit me up in days promising you've changed All by yourself you've learned that help is something given And all you do is take All by yourself you'll break within the week I'm the strong and you're the meek

Fuck it I'm fine now I've got this side of me that's excited to Fuck it I'm fine now Been sick of everything but mostly sick of Falling in love sick

Falling in love sick, falling in love sick, of falling in love, sick of falling in love, sick of falling in love sick, falling in love sick, of falling in love, so sick of falling in love.

There's just this side of me that's excited to Fuck it I'm fine now. There's just this side of me that's excited to Fuck it I'm fine now. Been sick of everything but mostly sick of falling in love sick.

That chorus is SO catchy, I was immediately singing along. What a fantastic idea for a song.

I love me some good falsetto vocals. And we also like the quirky instruments and variety of sounds.

Sweet riff! Sick vocals! I love you describing your process of trying to find the lyrics, it's relatable to any songwriter who has "something" but knows it's just off by a little.

Your production is, as always, lush and full and a breath of fresh air. I love the chorus, how it's like a semi-ramble that blurs into itself to have multiple meanings. And the POST CHORUS! That synth melody is addictive! Love the bass at the end, so thick and juicy. I'm jealous of your production skills, mate.

Another great one. Haven't disappointed!

Nice riff!

The skirmishes really drag out some cool ideas.

I like the way the rhythm of the lyrics in the verses.
