I don't think I can do this, one per day is too many. I can see why Coulton took a week for each song, but developed it into a full thing. He gets closure for each song, and leaves enough time in between to be reinspired. It's just too much to ask of myself for a new tune, and a new topic each day. It's no wonder the songs have been short and samey. If I had some decent recording equipment, and a better handle on the guitar than my awe-striking guitarist, I would do song a week. It'd be awesome, I'd love it. However, that's just not doable.
Besides, reading the lyrics to songs can't be that much fun. With all that said, here's my final tune for a little while, until I can rethink what I'm doing here.
You Heartbreaker
One by one, metal foils fall from my thumb. I’ll never fill it up; keep telling me this is dumb, To my son, little coils spring dearly some. As the blood seeps slowly – Here it comes.
We’ll never fill it up – This race we ride eternal. The contest is enough to spark my human desire. One more sheet I’ll try, but I’ll give it up. When I’m wading & waiting at the top of the spire.
Keep running your tracks, never look back. But the feeling it don’t come mutual. Rip another one off, turn your head and cough. For the hunt it ends eventually.
We’ll never fill the cup – This race goes on forever. The battle so hot it strike my animal nature. Tear the cord, break the bag. Crank the machine’s lever. This war is so fearsome. It’s like a broken matchstick in the dark.
Now I’m trying to weep, I’m crying to sleep. For fear of the night makes love of the bright. That’s the cycle – Get used to it.
(Short & heavy guitar solo) Kablam!
Hey keep that all down, turn your frown upside down. I’ve got a girl now – To keep me human. What I said was wrong, I’ve been alone for too long. ‘Cause I will never write an emo song, no I’ll never write an emo song. (Fade to outro)
I like the human nature of this song. Defeatism, denial, acceptance, ressurection! Hooray! Annie makes me go through these stages daily. It's a beautiful thing from another man's perspective, but it's a bit exhausting on my end. (Tip: I like the resurrection stage the best)
