Eternitea Time demo

Here’s an Easter egg for you! I wrote this Friday night and recorded a demo of it yesterday in a super stripped back fashion. I had to resist the urge to over produce as the song’s theme is this isolation/lockdown period and I don’t think inviting a Mariachi horn section round is quite in keeping with the ethos at the mo. It was a first take on vocals/acoustic guitar with just one SM58 through my tape machine pre-amps and into Logic. A smidgen of reverb added but no other treatment. I added tabla, cabasa, 12 string guitar and some harmonies afterwards. Oh, and I forgot my almost convincing trumpet solo on kazoo. It felt like one of those songs that just falls into your lap for me which is always a wonderful experience. I really hope you enjoy it! I fluffed a few of the lyrics and am yet to write a second chorus but here’s what I’ve got so far: There’s more than one way to skin a KitKat I tear off it’s chocolate flesh and carve it’s biscuit bones into knick-knacks, I make a straw to suck tea, Waste not want not, I see it now The hunter gatherer in me doing my ancestors proud Curiosity scales new heights of mundanity But I’ve always wondered why I felt a little wonky and so I measure from hip bone to ankle on both sides and I compare my findings just because I have the time The longer right leg confirms I’ve always leaned to the left (To the left, to the left) and so I glow like a bride, no, the one who catches the prophetic bouquet Scrorching sun shines down to scorn us and I know it, for not recognising dawn or dusk When all this madness is through I will play in the park and sing About the time spent inside getting sun from a tangerine The future’s looking at us in grave earnest If we could just avert it’s gaze, we haven’t earned the graves we purchased like you I borrowed the time, thinking that it was mine for keeps And I would do it again for eternitea time is bliss Love to you all!
