Sensory Overload

written & performed by Hook

My anxious heart feels as if it might run away
My unusually quiet mouth seems to have forgotten what to say
I feel frozen in place
As if my feet were rooted to the ground
It's as if my ears were bleeding
So sensitive to sound

It's a sensory overload

Sometimes my skin crawls
And I feel like I'm on fire in a fridge
I'm often dizzy
Trying to walk a straight line
I slip off the ridge
And I tumble to the ground
So sensitive to the looks from the crowd

It's a sensory overload
I'm 100% sure that I'm gonna explode

A proprioception deficit
I'm pretty deep inside my shit

And I can't get out of it...

[StephenM]

Hook, I wonder how many songs you actually know well enough to just stand up and play with out any rehearsal?  I am guessing you know hundreds..
what a talent.
another great song... I especially like the lyrics.  The music has a lot of interesting things going on..

[Zoltan]

I had some energy, but i already spend all. One can't try to be witty all day especially when faced with a song like this. It's in the title. I've got a case of Sensory Overload.

Another cool song from Hook. The kind of a track that sounds like being somewhere far away. Yet unable to escape it all!

[Ray Brookes]

Great song, bro. The instrumentation and vocal work is stellar and those lyrics will resonate with anyone suffering from anxiety.

Hi Hook,
Very interesting phrasing.
Lovely instrumentation, and the vocals are perfect for this song.
Nice lyrics, very original.

An incredible brew of ingredients and sound. I don't know how you rein it all in, but it has a very cohesive feel and 'breathes' in all the right places. Another towering vocal, and I really dig the rhythm / drum part - shades of Africa by Toto.

Hi there,

Great construction and delivery.

Your voice really reminds me of Elvis Costello..which is a grand thing.
