A cover of The National's 'Pink Rabbits' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on July 20th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I couldn't find quiet, I went out in the rain
I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then, I don't understand now
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street 'cause you were tryin' not to crack up
It wasn't like a rain, it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
Well, I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast, it's frightening
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
I was staring down the street 'cause I was trying not to crack
I was solid gold, I was in the fight
I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
I couldn't see you coming so far
I just turn around and there you are
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
I was just getting used to living life without you around
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
You always said I held you way too high off the ground
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street cause you were trying not to crack up
And Bona Drag was still on
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
A needle in a doll (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all

Pink Rabbits (The National cover)

Music has always been the heartbeat of my life. From the iconic sounds of The Beatles and David Bowie to the vibrant energy of grime and the soulful melodies of Adele, I’m passionate about all kinds of UK music genres. Whether I’m discovering new artists or revisiting classics, I love how music brings people together and tells stories that resonate deeply. When I’m not immersed in tunes, I enjoy exploring live gigs, sharing playlists with friends, and staying up-to-date with the latest UK chart hits. Always on the lookout for the next great sound, music truly is my soul’s soundtrack.
