non-precious song ideas is the goal for this month! here's one - not quite a voice memo, not quite a demo but something in between. rough as anything mix + lyrics but a fun vibe I think

lay me out on the bed like a blanket

pin me down I won’t ever fight it

been chomping at the bit

I admit I admit

for a little attention Iike this

everything has changed since you told me

nearly had the funeral for the old me

caught up in the moment

now I gotta own that

it felt big

I’m right where I am

and I hoped I would be

with you

falling in time

we are right on cue

but i’m not afraid

to be alone

i’ve been alone before

to be the man

that I am

I had to be alone before

I am very late in on this one (we have the Eid public holiday here in Turkey). This passes the Joni Mitchell test. Joni said that while she might *write* the song about her, the listener needed to feel it was about *them*, and that was what made it art. "Funeral for the old me" is such a relatable line. The importance for healthy relationships of being ok with being alone is another relatable theme. Your new writing technique is really producing some gold. The drum focussed production works well with this theme. All round 11/10.
