about
I wrote the music for this around 2011 in the old home studio, and put the lyrics together in 2016.
I always thought it was OK, but when I started recording it it really started to impress me!
I had a friend in mind when writing some of the lyrics, as he had just been through a tough breakup and I wanted to say 'keep strong etc', although the original idea for the song came from me having a prolonged sense of loneliness.
lyrics
It's the way it feels, when all your feelings are alive, a lonely tear will hit your eye, and hit your heart - so we strike a deal, and hold our heads up higher than we did.
Cut high, or cut loose, the fucking fear will capture you, be bright, stay true, is it/still too much for you?
Hold tight and don't lose, there's a way, there's a view, a forward life and a thousand sensuals. The tears will stop, be strong, get/stay tough, a forward life and a thousand sensuals.
Because you wanted too, is all you need, to justify, no one has broke you, it's all in your head but you've been pushed to this.
How will you cope, when you feel you're on your own, that the world's left you alone, and none of this is your control.
