Lyrics
What can I say
When all of my words
Have lost their way?
Chewed up blindly
Choked out
In a meaningless grey
What can I say?
They took you away

The line was crossed
And now I can't read between
And I can't tell
If what you say
Is what you mean
What can be made?
The meaning has changed

In the fragments
Of the town
I used to know
A lone light blinking
Told me which way to go
What did I know?
It was only for show

I need you now
Go on pretending you know how

I need you now
Go on pretender, you know how

I like the groove a lot - interested to hear such a sparse bassline being so effective in driving things along.. Cool melody - straight-up, not too cutesy and well put together.

Nice wide open spaces sound...it's got a landscape all its own. Dig it!

Terrific song, both melody and harmony. The arrangement never stalls in one place -- instead it keeps offering interesting permutations.

I will always remember when a fellow musician told me “if we have a great drummer and a great vocalist every thing else can slide sideways”… your voice will absolutely carry the day… top shelf… not just the right notes in a well crafted melody, but dripping with emotion… and often people stop there… but the next layer is your lyrical wordsmithing… I’m glad you posted lyrics, your imagery is so strong and provides the perfect coat rack to hang all that emotion on

Beautiful, Dyl. Love the mysterious, driving feel of this song. And a great bass line. Reminded me a little of a rocked up Ghost Riders in the Sky, and also Secret Agent Man. The horn/key parts sounds really cool. Well crafted song, with great lyrics. Can't wait to hear Writer as the other A side.
