An attempt at Psychedelia. Very strange song made even wierder by crappy recording and a noisy guitar solo.
Everything you love about music condensed into perfect indie-pop ditties.
Thrift Shop Fashion Show is my new project. Its a revolving door of musicians, currently featuring only myself.
Story behind the song
This was recorded at midnight while everyone else in the house was asleep, so it was all recorded very quietly and mixed up, creating spooky static effects and strange sounding vocals. There are three rhythm guitar tracks. Lead guitar part was played on the tuning head.
Lyrics
Violet
Violet decided
To try and fight it, yeah
I see her leaving
And it gets hard to breathe
Took a ride on a raging sea
A violet sea, Capsized, I died
Found myself awash in flowers
Beautiful violets, I believe I breathed
Lost in a velvet room
Plush violet walls, I fell down, I was found
I lost my eyes looking at the sun
Ultraviolet rays, I’m fine, I’m fine
And Violet
Told me
And Violet
She told me
And Violet
She
Huddled masses gathered round
Had violet faces, I said I’m scared
Still taste her kisses on my tongue
Her violet lipstick, I’m sated, I’m wasted
I saw myself lowered into the ground
Bouquet of violets, they said I’m dead
I sit alone in my rocking chair
At St. Violet’s nursing, I’m dying, I’m fine
And Violet
Told me
And Violet
She told me
And Violet
She
She said
I don’t wanna think, I don’t wanna hurt,
I don’t wanna breathe, I don’t wanna work
Aw no
She said
I can’t be myself, I can’t take this life
I can’t take this hell, I can’t stand not being right
Anymore
And then Violet said goodbye
Took a ride on a raging sea
A violet sea, Capsized, I died
Found myself awash in flowers
Beautiful violets, I believe I breathed
Lost in a velvet room
Plush violet walls, I fell down, I was found
I lost my eyes looking at the sun
Ultraviolet rays, I’m fine, I’m fine
And Violet
Told me
And Violet
She told me
And Violet
She
And Violet
Told me
And Violet
She told me
And Violet
She
Violet decided
To try and ride it out
She’s crying, Goodbye yeah
And Violet told me “I’ll see you around”.
