Self Preservation Society

[Hilary]

No not the closing theme tune to the Italian Job, but my sad little ditty . . .

LitB, internal mics, tenor uke.

Self Preservation Society

by Hilary Fox

Self Preservation Society - Hilary Fox 18.4.14
I can't take no heartbreak no more
I won't mend one more time
So I'll push you away
and I'll build up my walls and I'll stay

In my Self Preservation Society
There's only 1 member, that's me
In my Self Preservation Society of one
I'll be safe, I'll be warm, I'll be lonely

I can't take no heartbreak no more
I won't mend one more time
So I'll keep you a safe distance away
and I'll stay

In my Self Preservation Society
There's only 1 member, that's me
In my Self Preservation Society of one
I'll be safe, I'll be warm, I'll be lonely

I can relate to those lyrics. Safe, yet very lonely...Great work with your song, Hilary

You're a survivor, be proud. Each day is a gift xx

We've all felt this way. Beautiful lyrics - I admire anyone who can be this open with their feelings in a song. Probably the reason why I only do instrumental stuff, I can work out all the emotive stuff going on inside without having to bare my soul... Oh and because I can't sing to save my life! Anyway, this is a stunning piece of songwriting & your vocal is beautiful

This is really good Hilary, the soreness in your voice is perfect for the lyrics.

[Hilary]

Oh dear - it's not exactly about me  but I was feeling very sad indeed when I sang it.

Thanks for the comments though

[Hook]

Nice tune & performance.
Rock On!

[Farrell Jackson]

Well done Hilary!
