New song! A voice memo
🕑 Added 2021-02-09 19:36:04 +0000 UTCHello my amazing patrons!
Here is a new song I wrote last weekend that I think has some really solid bones and I'm excited to share it with people. I messed up a bunch in the voice memo but that's ok xD. Let me know what you think!
More to comeeee

Lyrics:
I’ve gotten good at crying quietly
My mouth wide open, hoping you can’t hear me
Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes
You kiss my shoulder out of worry
Several hours later I finally wake up
To flowers in a red plastic cup
You’d placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare
at the door you left unlocked
If you’re gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
I know it will all catch up with me
eventually
When you get home you apologize, waiting for an “it’s ok”
But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain
And so I play fiddle on the roof while you burn
Knowing full well we’ll never learn
If I’m gonna wear you down
I’ll wear you down slowly
But I know it will all catch up with me
eventually
I stitch up the wound
But it’s too tired to heal
It’s unclear
where we could go from here

I like it. It calls up a lot of feelings involved in getting over emotional abuse with a new and healthier relationship.
Brent Dreher
Sounds really raw and stripped down. Love it.
Christer Lind
I'm not a musical genius but I like this song.
Audrey
Ya know, this kind of reminds me of Alec Benjamin’s “Let Me Down Slowly” song :) I love it so much
Martin Schorel
Yes, this can definitely work out... reminds me a bit of a young Missy Higgins (the special two/sound of white etc) especially like the chorus repetition with the intermittent A/B at the end!
This sounds...pure. Not just in composition, but also the message you're communicating. I REALLY don't want you to throw this one away; keep it because I can tell it speaks your character amazingly.

The raw-ness makes it hit even harder! Goodness this is spot on.
Thomas Morley (Mojo)
This has the potential to be a very powerful song!
Cinnder
Love this! Love the shifts in tempo. I have definitely been there too.

This is really the foundation of something amazing
