Another work in progress here.
It all started out with a chorus idea that had me stuck yesterday. In my head, it was more of an up tempo thing when originally written. For some reason, my mind drifted to it again during breakfast this morning and something clicked. I’ll often get random drum patterns stuck in my head (it’s weird, I know) and I’ll play them by tapping my hands on my bald head (even weirder, I know.)
Anyway, I originally started drumming a beat for the faster tempo until randomly deciding to slow it down. In addition, I changed it into something you’d hear more commonly with strumming from an acoustic guitar. This opened everything up and took my original idea into a new direction.
So as I wrote, this is a work in progress. It still needs verses but if these lyrics pan out, this could be the last thing I have to write for autumn.
verse
I’m dreaming of foxes
Been riding in an ambulance
Don’t know where I’m going
There’s nothing left to see
verse
I’m dreaming of foxes
Been riding in an ambulance
Don’t know where I’m going
There’s nothing left to see
I’m dreaming of foxes
Holding out for consciousness
Afraid that I won’t make it
I’m sure that it’s a dream
It has to be…
Kept so calm with circles drawn
I’ll come back home, but not for long
Pretty soon I’m off to London again
Under scowls our memories drown
As time rolls on, these losses mount
Far away from those considered my friends
I’m dreaming of foxes
Been riding in an ambulance
Don’t know where I’m going
There’s nothing left to see
I’m dreaming of foxes
Holding out for consciousness
Afraid that I won’t make it
I’m sure that it’s a dream
It has to be…
This has to be a dream, it has to be a dream
It has to be a dream, it has to be…
It has to be a dream
Now you’re not here with me
