From the recording Skyhouse & Scarlet - 2001
Pretty interesting vibe here, I think.
One day I stumbled upon this cool drum pattern and I recorded it twice, turning it into a stereo loop which supports the heavy-handed, complex piano chord I was looking for.
I'm quite pleased with the tension that builds up before the song resolves into, I think, a pretty positive message. Pretty funky bass in the verses, too.
I also dig the vocals, the backwards piano, the 'telephone' vocals, the sound effects, the weird guitar sounds, and the huge Queen-like feel of the chorus....
Lyrics
You probably think I'm crazy
But I must admit I'm intrigued
I'm much too tired for sleeping
But I'm awake enough to dream
And it seems I'm always called back
To Double Pure
And we don't want to think
We don't want to feel
Believe all we touch is all that's real
We don't want to need
Don't want to be freed
Think our backs will break
If we bend our knee
We just want to laugh,
Must dam up the tears
Turn decades to months, and months into years
It isn't faith that makes me nervous
But religion engineered by man
Folding God like oragami
Until He fits so neatly in our hand
And we don't want to think
We don't want to feel
Believe all we touch is all that's real
We don't want to need
Don't want to be freed
Think our backs will break
If we bend our knee
We just want to laugh,
Must dam up the tears
Turn decades to months, and months into years
If I want to think...
If I want to feel...
Would you call me fake?
Could I still be real?
Not afraid to love
Not afraid to cry
I'm not afraid to sing
And what if I...
Was caring? And sharing? And love?
