Words and Music Andrew Smith 2021
Four o’clock in the morning, And I’m making my way back home
I feel a new day calling, Got your number on my phone
They say that bolts of lightning, Only happen when it’s meant to be
But Girl this thing is frightening
The life right out of me, Creeping up the stairway
Waiting for a cue, How will I feel tomorrow?
When I’m waking up next to you so tell me now

I’ve been struck by lightning now what can I do
Fallen for another guess I’ve blown my cover with you
Never say for ever but I whispered forever to you
Tearing at the seams ‘cus the Girl of my dream ain’t you
But I’m in disguise as I’m closing my eyes

Feeling warm beside me, Dreamy half awake
This is half of something, But it’s all of our mistake
You make is oh so easy, So I never need to try
To search for what is missing, Never knowing it’s a lie
And when we wake tomorrow, And there’s nobody on the phone
I found a four leaf clover,   And I’m gonna’ take is home so tell me now

I’ve been struck by lightning now what can I do
Fallen for another guess I’ve blown my cover with you
Never say for ever but I whispered forever to you
Tearing at the seams ‘cus the Girl of my dream ain’t you
And I’m in disguise as I’m closing my eyes

There are no words to tell you, just the answer in my eyes
I got no rhyme or reason, it’s got me right between the eyes

I’ve been struck by lightning now what can I do
Fallen for another guess I’ve blown my cover with you
Never say for ever but I whispered forever to you
Tearing at the seams ‘cus the Girl of my dream ain’t you
And I’m in disguise as I open my eyes

Never Say Forever!

Rock Sensation

A return to metal after the more shoegaze influenced Somniferum.

This track was initially much darker lyrically. But I found that I just couldn't continue writing such depressing lyrics. So it became more positive, rather than being a song entirely about darkness and struggle; it became one more about resiliance and strength. It became especially about the role my religion plays in my life.

I am also really happy with how the production turned out on this. I learnt a lot while making Somniferum and I hope it reflects in the song. Let me know what you think of the mixing and mastering.

As a general update, I actually still am working on that album I started back when Wither... dropped at the start of the year. I'd hoped to have had it done by now but my poor physical health over the last few months has made it incredibly difficult to maintain any sort of consistant working schedule. I've also decided to take a couple of weeks off from making music. In the last few months, I've released a mixtape and several singles, all entirely written, recorded and produced by me. While I absolutely love doing this, I think I need a short break mainly for my physical health. When I start back up, I'll be working on that album. Thank you for being patient. If you have any complaints, write a detailed letter adressed to the entire species of staphylococcus aureus, the world's supply seems to be currently concentrated in my lungs. 

Hope you enjoy!

Wie viele seid ihr wirklich?

Wie viele seid ihr wirklich? (instrumental)

The ship comes back from Brahmapur.
The men on board are insecure.
Do their wives now wait them at the door?
Some of them will sleep alone for sure.

I love this life. I was made for.
But most of my mates hate that for sure.
I had the choice. They were forced to
Work on the deck. They feel so blue.

The ship comes back from Brahmapur.
I'm eager to go back there. I will for sure.
I have in mind the landscapes there.
I still smell it. It's everywhere.

I love this life. I was made for.
But most of my mates hate that for sure.
I had the choice. They were forced to
Work on the deck. They feel so blue.

YES WE CAN

-1 Bicycle Jeff Snyder Jo & Flo

***
Я устал от бесконечного бега
Я бегу от себя и пытаюсь понять
Почему в моей душе так много холодного снега
Почему, что нашёл, я успел потерять

Утопая в мерцании звёзд чужих
Я пытаюсь заметить одну
Но в их свете прозрачном я вижу лишь море лжи
Я понимаю, иду ко дну

День за днём я ищу своё лето
Нахожу лишь обломки прошлых побед
Я уже не уверен, что нужно мне это
Но дорога зовёт, я вижу свет

***(google translate)
I was tired of endless running
I'm running from myself and trying to understand
Why is there so much cold snow in my soul
Why, what I found, I managed to lose

I'm drowning in twinkling stars that aren’t mine
I'm trying to spot one
But in their transparent light I see only a sea of lies
I understand, I'm sinking

Day after day I seek my summer
I find only fragments of past victories
I'm not so sure that I need this
But the road is calling, I see the light
