I continue my reverse Leonard Cohen vocal experimentation.
I had the house to myself this weekend so I could track with a real amp. Hell, I even whipped out the dang Space Echo for this one.
lyrics
I
Pale, ugly sky
Blue bird fly by
Singin’ his song
Through the snow
Tune sweet and fair
Froze in mid-air
And it’s midnight wherever I go
II
A Dank, bitter breeze
Wafts o’er the trees
And hints at what’s waiting below
Sick dog of sin
Cries, hungry again
And it’s midnight wherever I go
Bridge:
Wherever I go, I never can flee
There’s no separation, I’ll never be free
Wherever I am, wherever I’ll be
I carry sweet midnight with me
III
Cicada shell
Clings to the rail
And the firefly stars start to glow
Weak drops of rain
Streak ‘cross the pane
And it’s midnight wherever I go
