Watching the light come through at 4am, when I should be sleeping. In making the most of sleeplessness, I thought I’d upload a recording from the weekend, of a song I wrote a year ago. Pretty stupid eh?
Written in 2011, inspired by dealing with stupid people, this song Stupid was my way of dealing with the frustration. Fast forward to 27 June 2012, 3am. I can’t sleep, so I edit and compile a quick recording from the weekend.
The vocals are the 2nd take, right through… Recorded in the famous ‘closet’, using my headphone microphone (I was under time pressure), it is a very rough take, and not using my full voice. Straight after this second take, the flatmates (Family) called me down for dinner so that’s all I had time for.
A year after starting to write the song, this arrangement is now the standard one, and the words are pretty much locked down (I tend to modify words quite a lot as I’m writing.
I’ll be adding a bass track, and probably rerecording the vocals in the next round, but until then… here it is… warts and all.
Song Title: Stupid
Words and Music: Jomar
Now, I think I’m alright, Every day a little sunlight,
I’m sick of all the pretty lines, that get thrown around all over me,
and, when I find the time, even when I think I said it right
Am I the only man, that keeps holding on to repeat, yeah
Chorus
Please don’t, please don’t be stupid, with descriptions that are useless
Every time I say the word, you’re only waiting to be heard
What you think ain’t just what it is, you see
Verse
And, when I find the time, find the way through my stupid lines
I’m making a tale of it, not the way it really is
Is it inside of me, or others saying what I should be
I hit that one line, stuck on repeat
Chorus
Change
I’ve known something so long,
You think you know me, but your so f/()&n’ wrong
Everytime I’m looking your way, Can’t take all the things that you say
Chorus
