about

Its been a hard couple weeks with assignments and exams coming up, but there's nothing like a good bit of procrastination to get the music making flowing.

Really took my time with this one, to make sure everything was as good as it could be. I like the idea of producing a song every week, but with the pressure i was under from work and uni, too many details were being overlooked for the sake of efficiency.

I'm proud with how this one has turned out. Definitely my most favourite to date. I love how the harmonies match up with the Tuba to hit all the frequencies and get that big sound at the end.

I would say this took about a week and a half to make. After "The Raven, The Crow and The Kestrel" i started on another song, but the lyrics were being a bit tricky so I made a start on this.

Hope you enjoy!

A photo I took on a trip to New Zealand at the beginning of the year. Not 100% sure where this was but i have a hunch it was Dunedin. If not that somewhere near the southern end.

lyrics

- Lyrics -

you complicate the fold
you mess around and you hold the paper still

and i can do what im told
tick for a tock on the hand of your paper clock

chimes clicking, paper hands ticking
a tick for a tock on the hands of your paper clock

gears kissing, metal teeth missing
a tick for a tock and the sound of your paper clock

complicate me,
complicate me,

and i can not understand
all of your thoughts and demands

you complicate the fold
you shift and change your mould

Light changes, you come and go
I hope that you know, I hope that you kno

sit there, and play your games
i'll pick at your locks, and i'll break all your chains

and i can not understand
all of your thoughts and demands

you complicate the fold
you shift and change your mould

and i can not understand
all of your thoughts and demands

you complicate the fold
you shift and change your mould
