LYRICS

When the innocence is gone
It's hard to get back
But it's possible
All those people that hurt you
It's hard to forget much less forgive
But you have to move on 
And gain some innocence
Some innocence

When the kindness has left your eyes
Because they taught you that it's wrong
Don't give up the fight
Move on
Leave them behind

Innocence isn't lost
It's just been misplaced
Not lost
Misplaced
Innocence isn't lost
It's just been misplaced
Not lost
Misplaced

When the innocence is gone
Can't make it on your own
You'll try and you'll try and you try
But you have to find someone
To take your hand 
And understand
You can't make it on your own
Innocence

Innocence isn't lost
It's just been misplaced
Not lost 
Misplaced
Innocence isn't lost
It's just been misplaced
Not lost
Misplaced

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

Meanwhile I try to write a new song
Bang my head against a brick wall
Nothing new will come
That’s just how it falls

I feel that I’m wasting time
Time passes so very slow
Can’t find that perfect rhyme
Nothing seems to want to flow

Chorus

Make it fine 
Make it good 
Live your life the way you should 

Take your time
Pass it around
Don’t let time let you down

Solo

Now this song is haunting me
Can’t think what I want to say
Dig deep in my memory
Maybe leave it for another day

Chorus x 2

Don’t let time let you down x 3

Don't let time let you down

Continuing to evolve my Ableton setup, I've added the Push2 midi controller. I sent the first tune that I created with it over to @enigmacurry. I felt like it my initial composition was a bit too linear and it needed to be mixed up a little! He produced two amazing remixes. Here's the shorter one. 

Check out the epic 20-minute extended cut here:

Fractal Traffic B (slow cinematic mix) - w/ Enigma Curry

Today is my late wife's birthday.  Her last birthday with us was in 2020.  So, if this track feels a bit more personal than most of the other Interbay tracks...that's because it is.

Sad, with some heartfelt but hard to say truths might not be your idea of birthday wishes, but I'm not sure how else to honor a day that will never be as happy as it had been before.  

I knew that I'd wanted to do a song specifically for today, but when I started the project, I assumed it would be a soft, piano-forward ballad.  The fact that it starts with music box and dark strings sent me on another path altogether.  You get to about 2/3rds of the way through the song, and suddenly you're in a mystery thriller and who knows what might be lurking behind every shadow.  Who can say if you're in danger or if you're just scaring yourself.

It was not my intention to bring everyone down with this track.  However, it certainly was my intention to express myself within the context of the music that I make.  And, as you know, some Interbay tracks end up being a path to more insights and expressions than others.

I think the track itself says anything else I would want to say about it, so let's post a smaller description than normal, today.  (My gift to you, I suppose. ;) )

I would appreciate you giving "Birthday Wishes" a listen.  I know it might be hard to "like" a song that is a bit darker and depressing than you'd typically find here, but if you think it was well done, give it a like for that.  Obviously, you reposting it, sharing it, adding it to a playlist, and/or commenting on it..all that or any of that would be welcome.  

And follow this page for more Interbay, every single day a new track drops.
