Freeze Dried

Random Noise

Written April 2012. The chorus for this has been an idea in my head for years - the verses took ages to finish as I wanted the lyrics to be as strong as I could manage. The first version I uploaded was, I think, far too long and had a kind of hat-stand introduction that really belonged in another song. What I've ended up with now, which is much shorter, hopefully doesn't stretch it too far - it's basically a simple song about the tension between adjusting-to and kicking-against breakup. Maybe the arrangement is still a bit much.

The picture is derived from a painting called 'The Iles d'Or' by Henri-Edmond Cross (public domain).

24 Jan 13: Replaced with the shorter arrangement - and changed the picture.

8 Feb 13: Replaced with new 85 bpm version.

Couldn't sleep last night, went and watched TV
Made myself some toast - thought about you and me
Dreamed I was a child, swimming out to sea
Didn't call for help 'coz I felt so free

You can take the car and you can sell the house
I’ll move out of town, to a smaller place
When I fetch the kids and I shake his hand
We can all pretend, that we’re still good friends but

You can’t make someone love you if they don’t love you
You can’t make someone love you if they don’t love you

You can change the lock, but not the history
He seems nice enough, not at all like me
See you've changed your hair, I hardly recognise
We reinvent ourselves through another’s eyes but

You can’t make someone love you if they don’t love you
You can’t make someone love you if they don’t love you
