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 (2022)

I've been writing songs for ages and ages, because it's something I enjoy doing, and that's about it. 

I've added dates to titles, however, these aren't always dates recorded, mostly just dates written because the original offerings, back then, had little to be desired with consideration to production values and all that stuff!  For the older tracks some tracks have the old backing with a modern vocal (often with a lyric rewrite), the original vocal with a new backing (when I could work with the original vocal, but not the original backing), the original song newly recorded in all areas, and less often the original vocal and backing, but with a few additions, "No" is one such example.  Otherwise, most of it is newer stuff, post 2018, and is as is, when written and recorded.    

I've had to re-record some things on account of my abilities to record demos and all that being very limited once upon a time.  

In the early days I only had a Farfisa F1 workstation thing (it's amazing what I managed to do on that), later an Atari ST, with Cubase 2 probably, a Proteus 2000, and Fostek 8 track recorder thing, and now I've got Native Instruments 14, and Cubase 12, in what amounts to an astonishingly good set up compared to my earlier resources, for about the same money as that older rubbish was back then. 

I still use the microphone I've had since I was 18, though did just recently upgrade that as well, however still pick up and use the old one, as it's still good - a Sure SM58 with a dent in it! My upgraded mic is a Sure SM7B, which is great, and I see it all the time on TV and podcasts, so must have made a good choice! 

My musical chops are focused on the piano, my main instrument, and the ukulele, which I play a lot as well.  Not doing a lot of piano-orientated songs at the moment, but I do sometimes, and mostly try to get the best out of my Native Instruments stuff.  I'm barely scratching the surface with all of the NI stuff I've got.
