My Life as a Work of Art
Liner Notes
This started off as a bit of a free write. I sat in the rehearsal room at the St Albans Community Centre, and wrote about what I saw around me in the room. The starting point for this song was seeing a book titled "MY LIFE AS A WORK OF ART".
This was recorded on my phone at home on the 17th of August, done in one take. I sang and played my Yamaha keyboard.

Lyrics
My life as a work of art
Not too sure where to start
Art gives meaning to our lives
Leaves material for the archives
Polaroid photos adorn the walls
Abstract graffiti
I'm sitting in this rehearsal room
Books on top of the piano
Literature about art
I smell the warm air
I can't seem to get it quite right
Hammering out ideas
Gotta put my thinking cap on
Try to drown out the noise
Some guy doing his work next to me
Not much time to spare
Sounds broken up by silence
Outside voices break the dead air
My life as a work of art
Not too sure where to start
