Airwaves

Liner Notes

Its been a few years since I've recorded, just cleaning out the rust here. Started a little looped groove and improvised some lyrics, cleaned up a bit and added some harmonies. This is a good ol #introspective #indiepop #poprock track, wondering about what i'm doing in life.

Update: my friend Mike added some fun lead guitar towards the end of the track, hope you enjoy! I think I'll write some more in this style.

Lyrics

Where is the information playing on the airwaves?
What happened to science-fiction? I can't take it if the nay says
Hold me like old time's sake now, fool me twice with their medicine
Hoping the times will change now, don't think it's going to happen out loud

Is it going to happen today? Loud
Is it going to happen any other way?

Oh you dare, and oh my God
Sober tears, like my heart
Hold me close, my dear, restart
Cannot get you out of my car

What is out there?
What i'm afraid of?
How will you mold this
Into your next vacation?

How will you shapen up?
Impress those dudes
Like they are any different
Now we know, if they're any different, now

It's gonna happen
It's gonna happen
Is it gonna happen?

We can accept, waking in s***
We can accept, everything fits
Do I accept every insense?
Do I have some? Every nonsense

Every nonsense and my brain takes the sense (my brain takes the sense)
Every nonsense and my brain takes the sense (my brain takes the sense)

Every nonsense and my brain takes my sense (my brain takes the sense)
Every nonsense and my brain takes my sense away
Every nonsense and my brain just takes my nerve away

Ready your new vacation
Ready your new vocation
New vocation

Very 80s retro feel to this (reminded me a bit of the group China Crisis). Particularly liked the vocal range and backing vocals.

Woo! Cool summer vibes dude! Your voice works so well with indie pop. Lovely and pure and clear as a bell. That maverick kick has a little character of its own 😂 niiice soloing from Mike. Can’t wait to hear what you come up with for the rest of 50/90…..

Don't think you can sneak in here without me noticing ! The rust is flying into the past tense! Very nice song! so well put together as always- stomping drumbeat! great production as always!

@odilongreen 10w

Excellent groove and retro-future feel, a really nice jam to sit back and get swept away in. The longing, soaring lead vocals, and the harmonies and backing vocals generally, are outstanding!

i like the contrast betweeen the heavy rhythms and the breezy melodies. soulful vocals connect the two, and the sensitive elements of indie rock get rocking with a shot of B 12.

great track if you are just 'cleaning out the rust'! really enjoyed the laid back groove to this, and the harmonies are the unsung hero here

@barkstales 10w

Really pretty sounding too man. I like the modern retro feel. The words are very relatable. The execution of the music really supported the words well.
