After over eight months of much toil over the creation of Frozen Coco’s debut album plus various other academic and extra-curricular preoccupations, my third single is finally out! The initial conception for the song’s tune came back in May when I received my brand new Les Paul with which I recorded the guitar tracks shortly afterwards. The overdubs of drums, electric bass and vocals were done much later due to the hectic schedule of my final year at school prior to graduation. As is the intention of my solo career, the song digresses immensely from the style of its predecessors, “Rock Nomad” and “Gold Ringers”, cultivating a more guitar oriented sound with catchy bass fills and delicate drum rolls. I hope you relish this track since it is likely to be my last release for 2013 which has indeed been an exceptional year musically!

Lyrics:

VERSE 1 

It started with me telling him: 
“Boy, don’t commit such a sin” 
Thoughts preluded my wonted instinct 
But then I finally gave in 

PRE-CHORUS 

Now I hear every pin drop 
See every raindrop 
And every damn thing seems alive 
Said I hear every pin drop 
See every single raindrop 
And every damn thing seems alive 

CHORUS 

My thoughts are in reclusion 
Requests in abnegation 
Nightmares are in the zillions 
And fears in exposition 
Gonna break the damn workstation 
And indulge in exultation 
‘Cause my mind’s in evaporation 
Gotta go into detraction 

VERSE 2 

The morbid low and ultimate high 
Won’t leave you without a smile 
But when every element dies 
Don’t let it take you by surprise 

PRE-CHORUS 

Now I hear every pin drop 
See every raindrop 
And every damn thing seems alive 
Said I hear every pin drop 
See every single raindrop 
And every damn thing seems alive 

[GUITAR SOLO] 

CHORUS 

My thoughts are in reclusion 
Requests in abnegation 
Nightmares are in the zillions 
And fears in exposition 
Gonna break the damn workstation 
And indulge in exultation 
‘Cause my mind’s in evaporation 
Gotta go into detraction 

BRIDGE 

And don’t you know? 
I want it so 
Yeah, don’t you know? 
I need it so 

CHORUS 

My thoughts are in reclusion 
Requests in abnegation 
Nightmares are in the zillions 
And fears in exposition 
Gonna break the damn workstation 
And indulge in exultation 
‘Cause my mind’s in evaporation 
Gotta go into detraction 

[INSTRUMENTAL FADE-OUT]

When Every Element Dies
