"Making sense" a Geir original

[Geir]

a new song finally came out of my head .....

Making sense

w/m: Geir
Jasmine acoustic guitar.
Ibanez GSR 200 bass
3/4 squier strat
eggshaker
beer tambourine
Behringer B2 pro mic (Vocals and acoustic guitar)
Internal BR800 mics (for shaker and tambourine)
Recorded on BR800

Numbers spinning 'round my head
like bees around a hive
if I try to divide them
they only multiply
even if I round them up
or try to find their root

colors swirling 'round my head
like leaves an autumn day
I try to catch the picture
before it turns to shades of grey
I even close my eyes
to get the glimpse of what is far too bright

far too high
far too bright
all too strong
nothing's wrong
scents are passing with the wind
they're hard to separate
I turn to find their sources
but I'm always far too late
even if I climb a tree
or lay flat down on the ground

Sounds are rushing through my mind
I try to tie them down
I hope to organise them
in a pattern I have found
I wrap around a chord
and beat it, hoping I will hear more

Words like a landslide
when I try to sleep
letters forming patterns
of someone I'd like to meet
the mind follows the words
sometimes quite absurd
the words like noodle soup
sometimes I just have to let them go

A taste of salty water
from a summer skin
a bittersweet sensation
of a stiff upper lip
and when I drink your wine
my tongue curls up and poke my mind

butterflies and apple-pies
and seaweed on a rock
50000 pages,
the story of a king
even if it don't make sense
I got to get through it in the end

A slice of trademark Alfsen brilliance !

Love your vocal melodies bro!

[maxit]

sweet and wild confusion here! makes sense itself ... I love it!

[launched]

The full GTA experience - Love it!! I'd like to hear this on a big stereo, bet it would sound killer!

You da man, bro! I'm eating up the crisp tasty guitars and the bass line is out of the park. Your vox tracks were recorded perfectly, they're mixed in well and sound great!

This will be in my play rotation for a looong time!

[Oldrottenhead]

yeah baby

pure dead brilliant

πpod bound

[Redler]

Great lyrics that fits well on the melody. I got a slight psychedelic vibe! Anyway, I love the sounds and you performed it well, as always!

Nice one.  I was going to ask you what a "beer tambourine" was, but I just Google image searched it and found out:



It sounds like you had about the same ratio of empty to full glasses in your recording.  Am I right?
