First in a new series of song sparks I'm hoping to expand out into a full song. This could potentially be a part of the Downtempo EP. Needs a chorus and some additional tweaking to bring it all together. Some feedback from the songwriting workshop included suggesting that the speaker/singer is attempting to reassure himself. I like that.  They also suggested shifting some of the phrases at the end to go up instead of being so repetitive. Other feedback included adding some Nine Inch Nailsish guitar and distorted vocals, longer swells, maybe some oooohs. Positive response to the vague yet effective lyrics. 

Working lyrics: 

Imma be alright
Don’t you worry ‘bout
Any little thing

Imma be alright
Nowhere left to shout
I’m already gone
Worn right out

Even if you fall
Keep it in your head
Don’t turn back around 
Fading right out

DRUMS


Imma be alright
Secrets lost and found
Keep it in the puzzle
Lying pieces on the ground

Shadows in the light
Voices in my head
There’s no turning back (from this)
(I’m) Hanging by a thread

Imma Be Alright
