The Spy (demo)

LYRICS:

My love is an empire; Your beauty my Rhine.
Well, I just gotta know babe - why did we set fire to all our good times?

And now the river has dried up.
It's a damming of spite.
It toppled me over, it's like I'm not sober.
I'll give you a ring with a piece of my mind.  

You know it took a thousand years for Rome to truly fall.
And that is just a single grain among the sands of time.
So I will bide my hours even if it takes them all.
With no regard for changing power: I will make you mine.

Do you regret what you said now?
Well, I know I do.
But when the bombs started falling, you left me here crawling without any clue.

Well, now the border has pushed back.
And we both put up guards.
But damming be damned. I’m pulling the plug.
River will flow here comes the flood...

You know it took a thousand years for Rome to truly fall.
And that is just a single grain among the sands of time.
So I will bide my hours even if it takes them all.
With no regard for changing power: I will make you mine.

Do you regret what you said now?
Well, I know I do.

EMPIRE

Sad Money

Working at two themes with this one. First theme is 'SPIRIT' while the second is to make a song in a genre that I don't normally touch. I went with a heart-break cowboy folk song for it.

It's the first time that I'm playing the spoons and harmonica on a song, so that's a thing now. I also really enjoyed how the first verse contrasts so much with the rest of the song. It was fun to put together the atmosphere around the song in general by including a backing track of a bar and recording some Foley work with cork sounds, clinking glasses together, etc. 

LYRICS:

I’ve been seein’ spirits of a love I used to know
But fate, it seems, had other plans in stow
I guess I got too near it, she’s a light up in the sky
And it hurts so much to fall from so damn high

My mind is running circles. And slumber still evades
A heart that’s torn to pieces - in my chest a vacant hole.
Still might be too near it, but she took my spirit, yeah

I’ve been drinkin’ spirits thinkin’ bout that love of mine
I wonder why she up and left me behin’
And curse out holy spirits she’s the one that got away
And I won’t find that again for all my days

I have so many questions - some best left unresolved
Quickened breath and heavin’, but I’m drownin’ in my mind
Still might be too near it, but she took my spirit, yeah
