Smash My Watch

Liner Notes
These are daydreams, these are hidden lessons, advice I should take, advice I keep on getting - in the back of my mind, one can do anything but listen, and so instead, I try to sing it (lol, did not mean to make these liner notes sound like beat poetry, but once it starts, it can't be stopped... dun dun dunnn)
Happy with this one :)
Lyrics
Your hand feels nice Hot as ice Thudding pulse Tap the time Pull me through Portals to Things unknown Petals grow
If I just take a second to breathe And stop all this thinking
Can I time travel To tomorrow To today And yesterday I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off But I could stare At your face The second hand’s Tired of running I could use A moment to stop I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off So take a second And let time stop
Smash my watch Let time stop
Stars are shining Close my eyes and Wake up somewhere I don't recognize Beach aglow Draw my pose I find myself Answering Questions I didn't know Check my tongue Check my face I'm drawn in ink I hold the brush Just scuba dive Unlock the cage And new things rise With the waves I didn't know It was underwater My knowledge, things I know Rising with the water
Can I time travel To tomorrow To today And yesterday I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off But I could stare At your face The second hand’s Tired of running I could use A moment to stop I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off So take a second And let time stop
Smash my watch Let time stop
If i just take a second to breathe And stop all this thinking If i just take a second to realize This is real This is real This is real This is real This is real
Can I time travel To tomorrow To today And yesterday I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off But I could stare At your face The second hand’s Tired of running I could use A moment to stop I smashed my watch The wall clock’s off So take a second And let time stop
Smash my watch Let time stop

Wait........What? That was trippy. I really dig it. Going for seconds.

Amelea your timing is impeccable here, you're really in the pocket! Fantastic lyric writing per usual, "So take a second And let time stop" at abt. 2:28 was definitely a favorite line delivered precisely and suddenly. So I'm wondering if the dynamics and energy could be enhanced by some rests and restarts from the guitar line at one or two places. It's such an addictive guitar by Nuke that is amounts to a rewarding payoff. And I feel like I'm being overpaid throughout! Tease me Nuke. What if you had a bridge where the 2:28 line "So take a second and let time stop" is repurposed and actually stops all of the instrumental tracks suddenly. And some subtle and swirling frozen moment outside of time takes place. The listeners catch our collective breaths and maybe only hear Amelea breathing and delicate echos and stuff? Then it kicks back in with the familiar charging guitar line. Just a suggestion for a push and pull of sonic energy.

Groovy backing track and the unmistakeable rapid-fire Amelea vocal makes this an instant earworm. Great job both of you!

Yet another gem. I want to be pogoing around in a dark club, getting high (mostly on the energy). If you plan to do any of your stuff live, please come to Penticton, BC. I know we might seem like a little podunk town, but we're really into our music and we attract big crowds in the Summer with our sandy beaches, warm lakes, gorgeous scenery, loads of craft breweries, distilleries, wineries and pot shops :) No, Travel Penticton don't pay me... but they should!
