OK, here goes!

 

The picture made me think of eavesdropping... did a bit of research and found stuff like a quote from Thornton Wilder (me neither!) : "There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head". Built up the lyrics with such ideas. God knows where the music came from 🙂!

 

Technical stuff: Studio One DAW, Piano-roll drums with Red-Zep hits, Vantage Bass, Squire Tele gtr, Gibson acoustic gtr, Studio one strings, Behringer condenser mic.

 

Lyrics in spoiler:

 

Spoiler

I've got my cup up against the wall
 I don't like what I hear at all
 the only way to fill the gaps the only way t ohear the facts
 Eavesdropper hears it all eavesdropper hears it all
I have no right of reply
No-one will hear me cry
I Can't tell them it's all a lie

 

Joy and passion in the room next door
 but there is none in in yours
Like a sonic frotteur,  an Audio Voyeur , 
 Eavesdropper hears it all eavesdropper hears it all
They say that walls have ears
You listen through the tears
tense up as the moment nears


Thornton Wilder said it the best
A different world outside your head
 he only way to to see that scene, is to to listen while unseen
Eavesdropper hears it all eavesdropper hears it all - (repeat til end)

It's been a struggle this month. Two abandoned attempts that wasted a whole week. On the other hand (i) Douglas has been spared an AC DC rip-off (ii) the world will never hear my take on Barry White.

 

Basically the song's about something but I'm not sure exactly what. Probably something grim :lol:

Ringing In My Ears

 

And you are doing well
In your higher ring of hell
reports are coming in
reports are coming in
 

Events will keep unfolding
Those iron wheels keep rolling
A distant bell is tolling
 

Ringing in my ears, here it comes again
bleeding from my ears
The sound of people dreaming
The sound of people dreaming
 

The clever words you say
you'd say them anyway
reports are coming in
reports are coming in
 

Opinions are golden
the presses keep on rolling
the camera's eye consoling
 

Ringing in my ears, here it comes again
bleeding from my ears
The sound of people dreaming
The sound of people dreaming


(Breakdown)

 

Please give us a sense
of why you're so intense
The truth may need defence
 

Those iron wheels keep rolling
Those iron wheels keep rolling
A distant bell is tolling
 

Ringing in my ears, here it comes again
bleeding from my ears
The sound of people dreaming
The sound of people dreaming
 

And you are doing well in
your higher ring of hell
reports are coming in
reports are coming in
reports are coming in
reports are always coming in
