Don't You Want To Be Loved

Every two weeks on Scratch we document the birth of a new Echo Bloom song, each of which was written in an hour (I call them "hoursongs"). I'll talk about where each song comes from, how it was written, how it was recorded, and what could change about it in the future. See www.echobloom.com/scratch for more.

Scratch -  Episode 2 - Afghanistan

It was a death
I kinda felt numb
Watching bodies throbbing up and down to the kick drum

It was a beat
I found violent
Looking to the mirrorball
Looking at the mirrorball at

	Glitter on the dance floor
	Sweat on your shoulderblades
	Bourbon on your lipstick
	Dying with the DJ

It was release
It was a sweet release
It let me forget the person that i had to be

It was a rip
It was deafening     
Looking to the mirrorball
Looking at the mirrorball at

	Glitter on the dance floor
	Sweat on your shoulderblades
	Bourbon on your lipstick
	Dying with the DJ

Glitter On The Dancefloor (Scratch Episode 3 - HS 109)

Boys Don't Cry

I wrote this song about my good friend Steve, and a still frame I imagined of him and his wife sledding in Germany.  The video is hacked together from clips of an instructional video about marriage - 1950's "This Charming Couple" (a McGraw-Hill Text Film, courtesy the Prelinger Archives) - see on YouTube.

Listen to this single on Spotify, and subscribe to my podcast to learn lots more about this, and the rest of our work (link in the bio).
