Punchline - World Caruso_Demo

The most radically altered song on the album. Fittingly in last place, it has it's own sound. The original song was guitar-based and had lyrics about stumbling around on Eglwysilan Common up in the valley above Treforest, chasing your mind's eye.

Crashing doom-laden piano chords, synth bass, end of the world trumpets, a guitar sound like Johnny Marr joined The Cure, a coda leaning into 90's rave. What's not to like?

Lyrics:

This day started like any other
Till Zillow hit me in the face
My mind was jumping all around
Is it time that we leave this place?
I’ve kept busy doing what I do
Trying to finish what I start
thing’s change and move so fast
It’s not right to be so far apart

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

If the humming birds fly in our backyard
and the cool breeze blows real nice
All will be the way it was 
Before we rolled the dice
Ever changing as each day comes
taking count of what it’s all about
Not always easy to navigate though
but making sure there is no doubt

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

This track is about crossing over to the other side. I have tried to capture that moment when it happens and my feelings around that, since I have seen it quite a few times over the years.

The Sunset In Your Eyes

“Our daughter said the most fascinating sentence for turning the room light off, which was “turn the dark on”. I absolutely loved this perspective and had to include the line as a lyric; this spark inspired the song and its direction. Echoing those late night wonderings when the mind is overactive I use insomnia as an acronym in the chorus to ponder if people are asleep in life and need to be inspired to wake up and really live? My hope in both the music and lyrics is to capture the restlessness, fatigue and high energy of insomnia.”  

turn on the dark again. Insomnia. 

I’m here, yeah, turn on the dark again 
Open red lightning eyes, coffee adrenaline 
Maybe I can catch some peace tonight?
If I don’t sleep before I wake then insanity is coming, right?
I never sleep or maybe need inspirational awakenings? 

Insomnia 
Insomnia
I never sleep or maybe need inspirational awakenings? 

Shut eyes gone just dusty chunky robot eyes 
I am meant to sleep by design, I’m not doing fine 
No way, no way
I don’t want to process the day anymore
I want to possess the night and see my dreams 
I never sleep or maybe need inspirational awakenings? 

Can I sleep tonight? 
Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are 

(Insomnia, Insomnia)

Can I sleep tonight?

This is my attempt at performing this song in a single take with just me and my guitar (Taylor 114 ce)
Also to compare and contrast, here’s a  link to a more polished full band version of this song that I recorded with the help of the Eclectic Collective

Lyrics
When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers but I continued to play
And as the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
And now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great 
even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure and a catchy vibe and beat 
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine
I had a steady paycheck that could feed me 
And the record companies didn’t need me
In my fifties once again my musical juices started flowing
I bought the necessary equipment I was eager to get going
I recorded all my strumming and saved it onto my PC
The internet and technology were advancing rapidly
I took those special songs I’d written of which I was most proud
Posted them Instagram, You Tube, Tik Tok and SoundCloud
I asked myself if a tree falls in the forest and no one’s around
Does it make a sound?
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will like your songs even though you didn’t write or play a single note.

hi I'm Anelie. I write, record and produce songs in an alt-pop style with hints of French Touch inspired by my Parisian upbringing and a like for The Marias, Clairo and Mac Demarco. Phoebe I-H from BBC introducing Scotland described my voice as being "warm, inviting and somewhat otherworldly" 
but also one of "a creepy mermaid" when my song "Daisy" aired on the show... Would you agree? 
Thank you for listening and supporting x
