Original FAWM '04 Notes
This song was written musically first from a little fingerpicking riff and then the words were dumped. Please forgive the vocals, as usual. (I found out today I have a sinus infection... ugh) I was determined to do this as a live take and consequently ended up makin a few mistakes guitar-wise because I was determined to do the finger-picking.. c'est la vie.
The chorus need serious help and any advice would be appreciated.
New Notes
I haven't really done anything with this song since I recorded it for FAWM '04, though some of the lines in this song deserve to be revisited, in my opinion. We'll see what we can do about that.
LYRICS
People MP3
Bringing out the stars
They’re shining
In their carriage cars
They’re pining
For spotlight and cigars
And endless party nights
Looking at the scars
They’re hiding
in makeup and guitars
They’re running
From money-mogul czars
Who sell their plastic life
(Chorus)
It never ends
The face that you see
was bought based on trends
in People magazine
electric eyes stare
they’re moving
to avoid the glare
they running
from artificial suns
that show all their strife
Hide behind the clouds
They’re smiling
At the rabid crowds
They waving
Holding back the doubts
And glowing in the night
