Congratulations, Derick––what a wonderful achievement!
I'm listening to this with the loudest of headphones, and it takes me right through, caught all the way to the end. I like all the texture you've got in there, ordered chaos somehow (especially at the beginning, with all the layers of sound), very pleasant to hear..
I'm also super glad you extended the lyrics part much more than in prior October songs..(is this even true?) if so I highly approve! Perhaps you're getting more confident with your lines, with your voice, with your poetry? Also, thumbs up on the low-pitch voice moments :: )
Ok, my recommendation though (and perhaps this is a matter of trends which I don't know about), is that there's a part in the middle when the lyrics just get lost and I can't tell them out anymore.. "a million eyes/I 's and they all confuse you, but only you could call......... as the days pass" and so on (the rest I think I can make out) :: ) Any way you could fix that? I know Radiohead does it often enough, so it might be a choice thing.
Has it really been 4 years since the first Pop Song for October?
Thanks so much, P.P.! And thanks for the feedback too -- I definitely want the words to be intelligible, so I'll have to figure out how to fix that. But here are the lyrics:
torn a mile is the whole inside you a million eyes and they all confuse you but a week ago you were in the know blame it on the wind and the way it blows
as the days pass they get shorter it will only get colder
old leaves of old desire make a pile and strike a fire in the smoke remember may and all the words we used to say smoke curls turn to billowed bangs and from her ear a white pearl hangs
she turns and says here i am this is where you find me in the haze of night when the past is easy you fall asleep and come back to me it's all you have and it's all you need it's all i have and it's all i need
This is really amazing, Derick.. to say the least. It's so, so good.
Thank's for posting the lyrics, now I can follow.. and actually, now I noticed a little more how you play with volume and momentum, both with instruments, and with the hazyness and volume of the your voice.
I'm glad these are released one at a time! It's like waiting in the 60's for the latest release or something, instead of a whole album. Makes it more special :: )
