about

This song started as a challenge: I found two metal cups in a giveaway box on my street, sampled them and turned them into an instrument I could play. I challenged myself to write a rock song using the sound of the bells instead of the guitar.

lyrics

Verse:
it's a move that everybody tries
to find thsemvles but it don't ever seem to work
in the end I guess, we're self-absorbed at best
at least we know...

Verse:
on a poorly painted carousel
the horse gets stuck
here comes a truck
to save us from this mess

Chorus:
(and now a) Low pressure pressure system's moving in
Guess I should have listened in
to the bleating of the bellweather

I've got a pen I'll draw some lines
I'm content to pass the time
as we contemplate this era/error

Verse:
In the end it's all I really want:
to see myself reflected back in parts
through other people's eyes
the light gets polarized
and divided

Verse:
On a sunny stretch of Market Street feeling lost
Oh, help me, God, I cannot find my phone

[Chorus repeats]

Bridge:
In a velvet haze,
we shall count the ways
of our youth

Spinning up and down,
through valleys and through the towns.
When the path is much too dark
we shall a tiny spark

Chorus
