Easy come, easy go – a song

Listen on BandCamp and SoundCloud Having put together a song for Mrs Sciencebase that was about some of our shared experiences and made some kind of lyrical sense – The people we can be – I thought I’d go back to my usual unintelligible, stream-of-consciousness approach to lyric writing for my next song. Basically, start a tune in demo form, ad lib some lyrics, burble a few of them incomprehensibly, write them down as best I can and then edit into a useable form for a proper recording. The only difference with this one is that I had a go at recording it using a Wikiloops instrumental backing track called Easy Come, Easy Go and the chorus morphed because of that to use that phrase rather than my allusion to repairing my head. In the end, I didn’t use the Wikiloops track and started from scratch with electric rather than acoustic guitar and built percussion and bass and then acoustic on top of my demo. The title’s a bit of a cliche, but a little bit more understandable than the original and provides a stronger hook than what I’d thought of originally. It’s on BandCamp and SoundCloud as usual. Easy come, easy go There’s a tension in the air Always someone being so unkind Never found the right time to make that repair To my confounded state of mind Didn’t see you out and about You couldn’t bear to breathe the air You’re clued up there is no doubt But you missed your cue ‘cause you just don’t care And, I feel That something...
