A dark and melancholy track, inspired by Portishead among others.  

---------------------------------------------------
I'm getting tired, so tired
of reading between too many lines.
Just forget the world outside,
I'll play with the fragments recombined

In my mind, left behind.
Apologies pushed to one side.
Good intentions undermined,
I'll play with these notions undefined.

What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

But if your heart was mine
somewhere, sometime.
But if your heart was mine
somehow unkind.
What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

I'm getting tired, so tired
of all those chances slipped behind.
Repositioned one more time,
I'll play with the fragments swept aside.

What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

But if your heart was mine
somewhere, sometime.
But if your heart was mine
somehow unkind.
What did you mean?
What did you really mean?

This song suddenly came to me when I woke up.

#New #Original #Song #BONSAI

[Chorus]
We survived, look at us, look at us
This hot summer, 2021
Our name is BONSAI, just BONSAI
Survive with water, that's how we do

Yeah, we’re hardcore gamer, low maintenance
Eternal survivor, Japan to world
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo 
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo 

[Verse 1]
Not withered, that’s fine, okay, alright
We’re just too strong and gonna go crazy
Oh, I drop my leaves in winter, every year
Yeah, I love light clothes, I’m too cool

Leave Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo
Anyway, Coralberry has kids, so
When red fruits are born, maybe cute
I think it's okay to put her in your room

[Chorus]
We survived, look at us, look at us
This hot summer, 2021
Our name is BONSAI, just BONSAI
Survive with water, that's how we do

Yeah, we’re hardcore gamer, low maintenance
Eternal survivor, Japan to world
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo 
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo

[Verse 2]
He came to see the strawberries, but  
He doesn't know where we are, he doesn't know
Oh, he’s still a kid, he’s careful, three years old
Yeah, he ate grapes, in a good mood

The son of withered autumn leaves, it’s me
My branches are red like coral
Even if all my yellow leaves are scattered
You don't have to put me in your greenhouse

[Chorus]
We survived, look at us, look at us
This hot summer, 2021
Our name is BONSAI, just BONSAI
Survive with water, that's how we do

Yeah, we’re hardcore gamer, low maintenance
Eternal survivor, Japan to world
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo 
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo

[Chorus]
We survived, look at us, look at us
This hot summer, 2021
Our name is BONSAI, just BONSAI
Survive with water, that's how we do

Yeah, we’re hardcore gamer, low maintenance
Eternal survivor, Japan to world
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo 
Autumn leaves, Coralberry, Heavenly bamboo

.... this was meant to be a little exercise - both with instruments and with this chord progression - four rounds, with different background instrumentation, but of course with the real saxophone :-) .... and always look ahead ;-) ........ photo by Artem Sapegin, unsplash

There was a piano chord first. There was also a fiddle melody and a quiet bass. But while I was making it, everything went away. And it became a song that the sound was powerful for the first time. It's definitely a song I made. But, well, I can't think of a title. The first title is "Midnight Composer", but let's make it next.
