about

From episode 60, "Ready To Die."

I wanted something sort of chill in the middle of the February Album Writing Month challenge and ended up with this beat. The vocal melody came together extremely quickly and the lyrics on top of that. It's a sequel to an acoustic song that I wrote a long time ago.

...Can you tell that it is a song about having a hit audiodrama?

lyrics

I was hoping I would settle down
there’s peace to be made, hypothetically
I was hoping I would settle down
the fury in my fingers feels like power
and if you knew me
I wouldn’t want to be powerful
I wouldn’t want to be powerful

I can feel it like a charge
hanging in the air
and it stands to reason
not going anywhere
I feel it in the blood
that’s rushing to my head
And if it’s taking over
It cannot be that bad, can it?
Can it be that bad?
Can it be that bad?

I was hoping I could settle down
there’s people to please, they’re focusing on me
I was hoping I would settle down
Holding their attention feels like power
and if you knew me
I wouldn’t want to be powerful
I wouldn’t want to be powerful
