When I Get Back From Heaven
NSFWLiner Notes
Since I'm not really a musician or songwriter, I grab any slim idea and keep working it until I run out of steam. This is essentially the first song I posted, but not. Both are #1chordprogression songs. How would I tag it? Dan Bejar used to say that Destroyer played #europeanblues. That made no sense to me, so I'll use the tag here.
Lyrics
You have to start somewhere
And right here is somewhere
And right now is what I know
When I get back from Heaven
Maybe then I’ll be better
But right now is what I know
It’s too early to quit
Too late to start
I’m so fucking sick of breaking my own heart
It’s too early to quit
Too late to start
Let’s see what the next life holds
It’s too early to start
Too late to quit
I’m so fucking tired of thinking this is it
It’s too early to start
Too late to quit
Let’s see what the next life holds
When I get back from Heaven
Maybe then I’ll know better
Maybe then I’ll know what I know
I’ll make sense of the present
In this new light of presence
For now this is what I know
It’s too early to quit
Too late to start
I’m so fucking sick of breaking my own heart
It’s too early to quit
Too late to start
Let’s see what the next life holds

Sorry but I think that is beautiful : )
I read the liner notes.
Your humility is a rare quality in this day of who shouts loudest. Good write a keeper methinks.
Dig this
Haven't I already compared you to Rodolphe Burger and Kat Onoma? I'm getting a vibe that reminds me of theirs when I listen to this song, although your vocal style is different. I enjoy their stuff a lot, and Burger's solo work even more.
Glad you didn't fail to grab the slim idea that resulted in this lovely song.
