about

This is the first song that sparked the idea for a concept album I'm working on around helping remove stigmas around mental health topics.

This is a super messy cut since yours truly is playing drums (which were recorded after the fact), but I think the scratch track gets the "sound vision" across.

lyrics

What gets you up
What makes you purr?
There are some things
Coffee can’t cure

Fightin’ the blues
Gonna find the way
It’s hard when
Your state color is grey

That minor key
Keeps callin’ me
I tried to leave my phone off the hook
But I won’t let me be

Gotta get away
Refill the tank
Gotta make deposits
If you wanna withdraw from the bank

Nowhere to be
So play some Hank
And leave those heavy blankets
With your grumpy cat, Frank

That minor key
Keeps callin’ me
I tried to leave my phone off the hook
But I won’t let me be

Stray from the trail
To get unwound
Be the traveler who changes the path
Where they’re bound

Get rid of things
That drain the mind
Like suckers on a tomato vine

Well that minor key
Keeps callin’ me
Now I leave my phone of the hook
And I let me be

I'm new to drums so those are clumsy. Recording drums in post is no joke. (: But you get the idea.
