The Diary Of Dancy

I Am Dancy

To Him I'm Just Like Sugar [Edit]

King Maze [Puzzle of Love]
From the album "The Diary of Dancy"

In "King Maze [Puzzle of Love]," we dive into the poignant and harrowing journey of Dancy, an 18-19-year-old who has just left home to start university. In her first relationship, Dancy doesn't realize that her boyfriend's pathological jealousy is a red flag. Due to her social upbringing, she blames herself and believes she is at fault. As a resilient "dandelion child," she doesn't see that her boyfriend is more broken than she is. The song portrays the psychological abuse she endures, culminating in a desperate escape when she finally understands she must flee, regardless of the consequences.

Lyrics

Don't wanna work today
The sky is grey
I'd sooner have that view
Than that grindstone blue
Aint got a hand to play
I'd rather hide away
Sure I'd head back there soon
but for now just sink into the glue

And there's no other reason for this
But there's got to be reason to slip

Hell I'm gonna need a sick note
For a while cause I'm broke
Gonna need a little air
As I climb these stairs
Don't quite know how I'll get a sick note
But I'll put in a call
And think of something in the moment
To summarise my fall

Don't wanna work with you
For a week or two
Might take a month or more
To get me off the floor
Don't think I'll use the time
Just think I'll make it mine
And simply shut my door
Rather than go to war

There's got to be a reason for this
To explain away the seasons that account for my slips.

Hell I'm gonna need a sick note
For a while cause I'm broke
Gonna need a little air
As I climb these stairs
Don't quite know how I'll get a sick note
But I'll put in a call
And think of something in the moment
To summarise my fall

It's a shame I have to call when I'd rather disappear
Kind of backed into the wall and kind of locked into the fear
Guess I'll just have to run away before I'm locked into a grave
Guess I've just found a perfect reason for my slip into the gray

Yeah

Now I've got to find a reason to stay

Hell I'm gonna need a sick note
For a while cause I'm broke
Gonna need a little air
As I climb these stairs
Don't quite know how I'll get a sick note
But I'll put in a call
And think of something in the moment
To summarise my fall

Sick Note

"Hey You [Softly Trembling]" is a tribute song to my first love who passed away from breast cancer far too early. Support research. Save lives.

Staying Low

This track, 'Staying Low,' tells the poignant story of Dancy, a young girl who finds herself misunderstood and bullied during her early years. They call her "the sloth" for her slow, deliberate ways. Rather than fighting back, she prioritizes others, especially her younger brother, and retreats into a rich inner world where she can find solace and peace. Join Dancy as she navigates the hardships of her childhood through her vivid imagination and dreams.

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
