Porpyrophobia - my new song!
I made this!
Okay, so here we are! Posted this on /talk last night but rather neglected to actually /link it.
Porphyrophobia is a fear of purple, by the way... the guy it's about has purple hair.
LYRICS:
When you're looking for a someone
And then someone comes along
It never enters in your head
The thought that someone could be wrong
And they'll tell you that you're pretty
Put these thoughts inside your head
But you're never really special
You'll just realise you're average instead
And you'll try to wash away the crowd
Play your music far too loud
But everyone will just think that you're irritating
People-hating
Just another Single Mother offshoot when you're not
This lip gloss feels all funny, man I wish that I was shot
Through the heart with a dart, but I'm not, but I'm not, but I'm not.
And the someone that you know and love
Is sleeping at your place
And there's something in his hair
And there's something on your face
And you look him in the eyes
And then he's playing your guitar
And then you want to hold him close
But then he's getting in his car
And all the songs he played this morning
Were about people like me
That he'd fallen for or slept with
Or had gotten drunk and slept with, just like me
And I know I'm not that great,
There are things about you that I hate,
And I know that I'm annoying too
But mostly when I think of you
I feel like I am someone who is irritating
People-hating
Just another drunken lover, even if I'm not
Your hair is multicoloured and your eyes are all bloodshot
And I wish that I am special just like you, but I'm not, but I'm not.

and named it Hexachordal.

That's fine :)
I do enjoy your music. What I like about it is the fact that you don't stress about to make you're songs go past the three minutes mark. So many bands try and do this by repeating their lyrics over and over (Scouting For Girls are a very big perpetrator of this). You however just sing your lyrics and finish the song. In a way, it makes you stand out. The one thing I would say is to make the vocals stand out a lot more- I appreciate the raw sound when you're singing it live and all at once, but I can hear the struggle in you're voice when you're trying to sing one lyric after the other. That said, the music still makes me happy.
/end of review.

At first I was put off by all your words filling my monitor...
...but it turns out they're great. Hooray!
Of all the songs you've posted on here, I think the lyrics to this one are my favourite.

Thank you.
This one's the first song of mine that's really come from the heart, so I think it's a lot more meaninful than many, but not emo, cause of the FUCKING UKULELE ^_^

Yeah I could tell
As it happens, ukulele is one of my top 3 favourite instruments, along with the double bass and the tuba. Now if you could get those two into a song as well you'd be a massive winner!
