Blur

Taken a demo and spruced it up this week. This is a song I am quite proud of. Channeling my inner Phoebe Bridgers with some big ambient guitar tones. Vocals are a little rougher than usual - I wanted to avoid loads of editing on them as I didn't think it fit the vibe of the track - let me know what you think!
Trying out the Safari Plugins - I quite like them, and will continue to explore!
Guitars are in standard tuning - 2nd week in a row for a while!
Let me know what you think!
Lyrics:
The neon hums like it knows all my secrets
Your jacket still smells like November rain
I watched your shadow blur in the rearview
You took your mixtape,
but left me the pain
I tell myself I’m just dramatic
But your name still breaks the static
So I’m talking to ghosts
in the parking lot
Where we kissed and forgot what we were
You said love was a kind of fever
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
The coffee's cold, I drink it anyway
Stained napkins with half-written poems
You wrote “forever” on my wrist in sharpie
But it washed off in the rain on the way home
I dream in grayscale memories
You fade like old movie screens
So I’m talking to ghosts
in the parking lot
Where we kissed and forgot what we were
You said love was a kind of fever
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
The silence is loud
where you used to laugh
I count headlights like
stars on a map
You’re somewhere warm,
I’m stuck in the Past
SO I’m talking to ghosts
in the parking lot
Where we kissed and forgot what we were
You said love was a kind of fever
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"
