demo no.64: 'something's gotta give' (Patreon)

GOOD MORNING SECRET DEMO CLUB. :) here's a new demo for you! I was stumped on what to write about this month so I ended up writing a very stream-of-consciousness set of lyrics which ended up on me musing about latitude festival last week and the wholesome time my friends and I had there. also some *growing up* vibes because clearly.. I'm obsessed with that idea lol

had a lot of fun playing with my drum machine and a new soft synth too! this is certainly a little heavier than you're used to from me so not sure how it will go down but was very fun to experiment - soft acoustic vibes next time, perhaps!

LOVE U ! see you later at the twitch show? reminder that at 6.30pm BST this eve I am playing a full band show, free to watch here  - it's proper live (not pre recorded) and I think they're giving me a screen to see the chat as we play, so would be amazing to see some secret demo club folk on there! x

Marcus had an epiphany at that show

made him question everything he knows

doing this can make you feel so small

chasing the dream is it the dream at all

i guess we’re getting better at just setting boundaries for ourselves i guess

and that’s enough

i felt so sick before i went on stage

i felt a lot of things that day

nathan looked after me and he was great

and boy was it worth the wait

my friends are a nightmare

but they were right there

in the front row

and that’s enough

I wanna be in the back of the taxi

Look ahead and you’re there in the front seat

I wanna go somewhere that I haven’t been

see something that I haven’t seen

I wanna throw myself into everything

I won’t be scared of change or of anything

I wanna live some life that I haven’t lived

something’s gotta give

Frozen in time I guess we’re growing up

everyone’s getting engaged and i’m showing up

got a lot going on in your eyes

oh it’s like I’ve known you my whole life

kicking up dust by the campsite

here with you making up for lost time

i needed this

I wanna be in the back of the taxi

Look ahead and you’re there in the front seat

I wanna go somewhere that I haven’t been

see something that I haven’t seen

I wanna throw myself into everything

I won’t be scared of change or of anything

I wanna live some life that I haven’t lived

something’s gotta give
