This is absolutely lovely. Miaow, dear you tick all the boxes.

Very nice ! Love the combo of instruments and beautiful voice

great instrumentation and composition, not to mention the lyrical content and vocal performance, really good...

Still love this tune, stripped down but with complexity.  Wonderful use of trumpet.

love the trumpet there...  perfectly mocking

This song has one of the best uses of a trumpet I've heard in a long, long time!

and here are the words:

take off that mask
i just wanna see you
is it too much to ask,
that i see the real you?
plasticene brain
you're not the same girl -
weathered and vain -
fake in the real world....

you're sleepwalkin'
shut your mouth!
i'm tired of your talkin'
open your mind -
i'll give you a word of advice...
open your eyes and...
WAKE UP!

take off those gloves
'cos i don't wanna fight.
bare me your soul in
unfiltered light...
fuck, you look tired
of all this pretending...
you're totally wired
it's never-ending....

you're sleepwalkin'
shut your mouth!
i'm tired of your talkin'
open your mind -
i'll give you a word of advice...
open your eyes and...
WAKE UP!

wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
(mmm-hmmm)
wake up, wake up
(you've got to...)
wake up, wake up
(uh-huh huh)
wake up, wake up

i would like to give a very special thank you to the Aged Choir Boy (my fellow Pilgrim, Robert Davidson) for his impassioned production skills, patience and believing in me, even when i felt like an imposter, i know i can be pretty difficult to work with some days…  “you are my dragonfly” x                                                                                                                        – Miaow McDonald
