This was one that I started several years ago, but I finished tonight.  The project seemed like an appropriate time to let it go as/is.  It was intended for the Orphan Work record I made; the inspiration was reading accounts of anthracite miners.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get it together in a way that made sense with the rest of the songs I was working on.  There's some midi mellotron, violin, guitar and I manipulated cassettes. . .

This is my latest contribution to the Disquiet Junto. The assignment this week was to use the speech about how magic works from The Prestige as inspiration. So the track had to go from part A to part B and back to A. 

I felt like "B" needed to be some kind of trick, not just like verse/chorus/verse. I hope you can figure out what the trick is and, either way, enjoy.

Had the guitar written for this for ages and recently put it to some nice lyrics about performing at an open mic, no ones listening except the one person you care about, and that's all you need. Lots of clean up possible but kinda burnt out on it and wanna move on, initially thought id have harmonising vocals and some strings but I never got them to work (hence the demo).

Lyrics:
The bar is filled with noise
Louder than my voice
My song will go unheard
Aren't open mics absurd
But you're always listening
I know that you care
lost the room but I'm focusing
On the moment that we share


Guess it feels the same
Our secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one


I crack a stupid joke
Your laughter gives me hope
You've heard them all before
Still laugh while they ignore
Dont care they're not listening
I just care that you do
Lost the room but I'm focusing
Focusing on you


Guess it feels the same
A secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one
