Workin'

Hope everyone had a great week! I'm continually blown away by the quality and variety of the tracks here - the Weekly Beats player has become my daily soundtrack, keep it up folks big_smile
I'm uploading this on Friday - shock horror! Enjoy this rather angry piece and thanks yet again for the great feedback, I'm writing like never before because of it


Workin':


I've been working like a demon, day and night
Trying to find something that'll chill my mind
Yeah, fiddling and foostering away my time
With crepuscular soliloquies
And half-distilled pigeon-willed brain moonshine
Plans and schemes and pipe dreams with a twist of lime
So if the way you see yourself seems a tad unkind
Stop in your tracks, relax, and grab a piece of mind


It's not the crowd's rush, not the rocks thrust
Not your disgust, not the tired faces
Not used-to-be-nice places, bombast
Not the bombs blast, clocks that run fast
Not artless provocation, academic masturbation
It's not the spinning round, dizzy
Greyhound-skirt herd of dirtbirds
Out in this weather?
Parents should know better


It's the unconscious dose
RSI-in-the-wrist ghosts
Aspire to exist only
In a daze while they expire slowly
Screen-stealers
Our dream-weavers
The team-leaders
And time-bleeders
Know where they'll lead us
Nowhere to lead us
Nowhere


Your brain's under beta strain
Think only in terms of gain
Your heart and your soul
Are not coming back again
Forget all you used to know
Your brain needs relaxing when you've been
Working like a demon

Dude - you're definitely Workin' the sh1t out of that piano! Love it!

That piano is truly wonderful and dynamics in vocals are great too! Not as catchy as previous one but still a super nice song, well done!

Werkit!

you're a ridiculous piano player. would love to hear you tickle a fender rhodes sometime.

^^This (wurlitzer would be nice too btw)

Been a fan of your piano chops on every track but I especially like the lyrics in this.  They flow so well with the piano.  Yet again another great song! smile

There will always be a place in my heart for clever, cheeky lyrics. Rock on.

Again, outstanding work. I like how you play with your voice while singing, it's very dynamic. You've got some serious voice and piano chops!

Another killer track from drmindflip. "bombast not the bomb's blast...".  Wicked lyrics all the way through, and of course great playing!
