A very early sketch for something which i already know is going to change drastically in the next version. No equipment at this time to record it again, or indeed a guitar.
This song is called “I Can’t” for so many reasons, apart from the fact that I can’t finish it right now! I do like the chorus type bit though. It’s not like me to write a chorus bit these days, never mind liking it!
First draft of lyrics (subject to drastic change perhaps)
Am I deluded? (How can anyone know?)
This is a question almost everybody, if not everybody asks themselves at one time or another. It’s just life! Somethings just dont make sense.How can we cope in these situations? It’s impossible not to make mistakes as you go on your way.
And about regrets : how can we regret something we obviously meant at the time. Yet we still have regrets. How is that supposed to make sense? Cause and effect. Consequence. Why are these things sometimes not so important, yet at other times they are?
Don’t ask me, I’m just as useless at solving this shit as everyone else wants me NOT to be…
I just write my shit down and smash it into music. Like a square peg into a round hole, with a hammer.
It will all make sense eventually…
I – I can see clearer when I close my eyes.
Now nobody’s near me, then there’s no suprises.
I – I am away now, yet still someone cries.
I should see clearer, but it’s so hard to try.
Because I can’t…
Because I can’t…
I – I could see clearer when I closed my eyes
BUT I CANT CLOSE MY EYES!
Now nobody’s near me, then there’s no disguises.
I – I am away now, yet still someone cries…
I CRY!
I can’t admit it, but it’s so hard to deny…
Because I can’t…
Because I can’t…
So what have we learnt today?
Hopefully a combination of nothing and everything.
That might make no sense, or perfect sense, depending on your progress…
So will that…
Anyway, how can we adequetly describe what we are feeling when most of our words were built for describing physical actions, or objects?
It would be awesome if we could record our thoughts as they happened, so we could listen back to them later and have a damn good laugh. And we’d learn! But we can’t, so we are all on our own to figure it all out…
