Country Blue

Fading Behind Me

[Verse 1]
I walked the shoreline
barefoot against the wind
sand caught in every silence
waves too tired to even begin

The tide held its breath again
not a promise not a wish
just the calm between each moment
and the sound that never came

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
gone before they reach the sea
I let the wind decide
where I end
where I used to be

[Verse 2]
Loneliness didn’t misbehave
it sighed and turned away
left a warmth I couldn’t handle
and was never meant to keep

The salt air held too many secrets
the sky looked the other way
I kept walking like it mattered
but the ground forgot me anyway

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
like a face no one remembers
I let the wind decide
what to keep
what to leave

[Bridge]
There is no one on the beach now
just the cold
and my retreat
no answers in the tide
just the way it pulls from me

[Final Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
not even shadows want to stay
I let the wind decide
and it took you away
and it took you away

Fading Behind Me

Amsterdam

Some messy acid jazz.  Everything recorded into TEOP1 keyboard 4 track using some cheap headphones with a mic so I could hear the levels while I played drums (thank you Ruben for giving me your drumset, RIP).  Then added TEOP1 organ and then TEOP1 bass, then some vocals with delay.  Just an improv song in the middle of the week after work.  I randomly decide to scrape my drumsticks on the side of the cymbal for like 30 seconds in the middle of the song...

LYRICS:
Messy.
Messy me.
Dissonant and messy.
I'm so messy.
Messy me.

Messy Me

Rumor and Innuendo

Verse 1
The television’s half-asleep,
static whispers in the wires.

You told me what you heard,
but it sounded like a choir
of broken voices—
half-believed, half-denied.

I carried them home,
like a fever in my mind.

Verse 2
The hallway lights flicker,
the neighbors keep their blinds closed.

Your shadow moves across the room,
I can’t tell what you chose.

You say it doesn’t matter,
but I hear the undertone.

Every silence between us
is a language of its own.

Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
drifting through the smoke.
I never know where you stand,
and I …don’t know… where to go.

Verse 3
Somewhere between the truth and the lie,
I keep losing track of time.

Somewhere between 
your eyes and mine,
the ground gives way, 
the words unwind.

Every whisper a shadow
Every shadow reminds

Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
drifting through the smoke.
I never know where you stand,
and I… don’t know… where to go.


Verse 1
The radio’s half-asleep,
static whispers in the wires.

You told me what you heard,
but it sounded like a choir
of broken voices—
half-believed, half-denied.

I carried them home,
like a fever in my mind.

Final Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
echo down the hall.
I lean into the silence,
but I… don’t hear… you at all.
Rumor and innuendo,
it’s all we’ve ever known.
I’m standing in the doorway,
but I… can’t find… my way home.
