Self - Sabotage V.2

The Way She Goes

Middle Child is inspired by post-punk fused with dancey electronic beats. The song is lead by a driven energy of drums and lead bass, along with passionate vocals and somber, chilling lyrics. The lyrical themes are about silenced emotions.

MiddleChild

here is a track i've written about the covid-19 story (so far)
songwriters are supposed to document their part in the cultural narrative (i've heard)
parts played by me
mixed and mastered by me
photograph taken by me (of my two housemates - james and Luke)

Standing in line, waiting for food
People in masks, reciting the rules

Let’s form a queue, first me then you

Two metres apart, if you please
Cover your face when you sneeze
Stock up on pasta and beans
The government has got you on your knees

Symptoms include, feverish moods
Does your cough feel new? 
They’ll quarantine you!

Police cars patrol, fining the free
You can’t see your friends
They might have Covid-19

Two metres apart, if you please
Cover your face when you sneeze
Stock up on pasta and beans
The government has got you on your knees

Politicians in the ICU
Do you see me?
“Guidelines to govern your day”
And music to soothe you at night

Two metres apart, if you please
Cover your face when you sneeze
Stock up on pasta and beans
The government has got you on your knees

You and Me and the Universe

This is a track that took me a while to complete, drawing on feelings of adoration, loneliness, bitterness, lust, desperation and existential angst. 
All instruments are played by me. Mixed and Mastered by me. The photograph is also one of mine. I hope that the feelings I have expressed in this piece of music can provide some solace, catharsis or sonic relief for any of you. I have put a lot of my soul into this one. I recommend you make it to end, if you can ;)

Lyrics:
I think of you when I’m high
I think of you when I'm low
I think of you when I come
I think of you when I go
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
I see your hair in my smoke
I see your lips in my drink
I see your breath in the clouds
I see your eyes when I blink
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
It’s been a matter of days,
But still i’m sick without your kiss
If I write this down, If I sing
About how much I miss your touch,
I want your love, I need your love
When my girl’s gone away,
All my thoughts turn to clay,
Days are long, nights are cold
Sunlight aches, moonlight scolds
Memories, holding me
Melody, set me free
Harmony
Come back to me
Set me free
Harmony
Set me free
Come back to me
