Strong lyrics and arrangement. Got me singing along. You're so creative in finding images and metaphors!

I sit here listening … such wonderful metaphors and descriptive words. Also that eye in your avatar keeps staring at me!!! Creepy!!! Anyway, I enjoyed this tune even if it came at your uncomfortable experience. ⁓Rebecca

great tune. not sure if the next plug was matrix inspired or not but great lyric either way. strong lyrics and catchy

Love the lyrics.  Different instrumental sound, which is great.

This was written right off the back of suffering a severe bout of vertigo last week - quite a nasty experience.  I guess otherwise it's a song about having had enough of something, or other. 

Lyrics

The rug has been pulled                   
And I’m suddenly down
Can’t make out where I am                   
or locate any sounds
I hear voices of reason
Start closing in
I can’t stand any longer
Seems I’m feeling too sick                             

I know the world
only goes round one way
But this kaleidoscope turns me
a new kind of day               
Something has triggered 
a thing in my head
And if it keeps turning                   
I might wish myself dead

This vertigo’s got me down
I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be
A little Hitchcock in my ear  
I feel messed up just like it's killing me
This vertigo’s pulling me down
And I can barely even find my feet
I’m drilling into the ground
Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees

Something pulled the plug
At the base of my neck
And my brain went like water
Swirled right out of my head
This whirlpool wont settle
I’m locked in it’s flow
Feels like an event horizon
Much like I’m soon gonna go

This vertigo’s got me down
I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be
A little Hitchcock in my ear  
I feel messed up just like it's killing me
This vertigo’s pulling me down
And I can barely even find my feet
I’m drilling into the ground
Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees

Someday I’ll walk 
Will hold my gaze
Get myself through
This twisting maze
This crazy dream
Will come to end
Soon I’ll be still
Control the bends    

This vertigo’s got me down
I’m not as high as I thought I’d need to be
A little Hitchcock in my ear  
I feel messed up just like it's killing me
This vertigo’s pulling me down
And I can barely even find my feet
I’m drilling into the ground
Feels like I’m sinking right through my knees

Vertigo

Got to say it's gone a little dead on here, listener wise... not even getting those spam bots anymore! 🤣

Anyway...

It's all a bit scrap tastic on my profile - have uploaded all sorts of things, lots of the same sorts of things, in addition to which the production quality is rather... urh... varied (inconsistent actually - sometimes damned right lazy 🤣)

In any case, a portfolio of music going nowhere in particular, all written by a person with little else to do with himself! 

I've spent a long time trying not to share this hobby of mine (aside from a few exceptions), out of embarrassment I guess, way back, but now I just can't see the point in me being the only bugger who hears this stuff of mine! 

I'm only just starting to get to grips with mastering - what a nightmare - and starting to see just how muddy some of my mixes are, especially older ones. Crikey.  Didn't seem to notice before, but just did a comparison between a new mastering experiment and a version of the same track I thought I was happy with - turns out I shouldn't have been so pleased with myself.   In any case it's clear I don't yet have a knack for mastering!  Onwards and upwards - I hope!

Just purchased this massive Native Instruments package, and trying to use it well - have barely scratched the surface with it!  Anyway, I've got everything I need, but generally don't know what most of the things that come with it are!  

If you're playing something of mine - thanks!! They're all written and recorded at home - a collection of rough and ready demo's combined with a few slightly better polished bits and bobs, odds and sods, here and there.
