K, so i’ve been working in the studio today on a new track called “A Reason [to be] Apart”. Really pleased with the sound so far.. very epic, has a coldplay / editors type feel to it at times I’ve noticed. It’s a full on vocal jobby, with a really dirty bassline and a pounding rhythm.
I decided to jot some lyrics down to get a feel for a vocal line, and within 15 minutes had the whole thing written.. wowser! What with the last couple of posts I’ve written reflecting on this whole “mid twenties anxiety” topic it’s no surprise they’re based on the same theme :p

Watching every step you take,
No room for more mistakes.
With another chance passing you by,
You’ve got move now, you’ve got to move now.
Everybody all around me,
All reaching for the same dream.
But nobody’s moving or making a fuss,
I’ll kick and scream and shout because..
I don’t want to follow them
I don’t want to follow
I’m not following
I’m not going to fall now
I’ve found a path I’m sticking to it, Nobodies stopping me now.
Because the end is in sight and I’m passing you by..
Look at yourself
Standing around, making no sound
Well I’m making noise
Making white noise
Look at your life
Static and still, no story to tell
You’re living with regrets
The stars will never be aligned.
The time for change is never right.
But without risk your not going anywhere,
You’ve got to risk it, You’re taking deep breaths.
Listening to what you said,
I’m not waiting for my death bed.
Making plans to fly and leave these skies.
I don’t want to grow old
With stories untold
I don’t want to follow
I’m not going to fall now
**..This might be a lonely road, but if you don’t try you’ll never know..**
Look at yourself
Standing around, making no sound
Well I’m making noise
Making white noise
Look at your life
Static and still, no story to tell
You’re living with regrets

I’ll put a sample of the track up tomorrow morning
