    A song I wrote in anticipation of moving from Virginia Beach, Virginia to Atlanta, Georgia. I imagined it would be fun to play at The Underground.

    I think it would be fun to play there. I recently went to see Glaive there and it was an excellent venue.

    Nonsense lyrics really, but they are playful so that works for me.


Lyrics

Well look at you! I’d better, I’d better keep my control
‘Cause every word that you say is burned right into my soul
I look at you I see the, I see the song in your face
I see you loving the world, I see you loving this space
Well look at me! It’s like I lost my control
‘Cause every word that you say has dug a deeper hole
I’m sinking down and I, I don’t know why

Buried up to my feet now I’m in love
Buried up to my knees now I’m in love
Buried up to my waist now I’m in love
Buried up to my chest now I’m in love

Well look at you! I’d better wipe the smile off my face
Cause there’s some dirt in my mouth. It’s got an awful taste
I look at you I see my, I see my face in your eyes
I see myself hit the ground. I hear your cry of surprise
Well, look at me! I guess I, I guess I’m falling in love
And every word that you say fits my dream like a glove
I’m sinking down and I, I don’t know why

Buried up to my chest again I’m in love
Buried up to my neck now I’m in love
Buried up to my nose now I’m in love
I’m way in over my head now I’m in love

I saw your cigarette, your soft silhouette
Your heavy metal jean jacket. Everybody wanted it
I saw you pierce your nose. Your hardly wearing clothes
I wanna see you baby please?
I’m alive… I’m underground again

Recording Notes

Harmonies and lyrics are where it's at for this song. Aiming at being catchy and playful.

Drum machine is not my favorite here, but I guess that just means I will get to have fun trying again.

I've recorded this a few times now, and this was the more recent of the recordings. Way, way back I made a version on a mixed cd I sent to my friends called "Culture Revolution." Awful quality recordings on that cd, but it was a fun effort for a guy with no clue.
