Naked Lamp

By Minnamari on May 12, 2024 8:15 am

I'm on a trip so I had to quickly record this and another song before I left so that I can post them from my phone while away. So this is just a quick recording with my electric piano. Some showering sounds in the background in the beginning, and I didn't have time to record a new take, but I think it's fine. smile

This is a new song, but based on old memories and emotions that I have finally been able to look at and to process, through music.  Feels like one of the more vulnerable songs I've made


Lyrics:

There's a naked lamp in the ceiling
A square of glass instead of fabric over spotlights
The walls are white, I feel exposed
like the wires of the lamp

There's a naked man lying next to me
He's speaking words that hit me like glass
The sheets are white, the bed is soft
like the way I wished his words would be

Instead the words hit me like the shards of a naked lamp I imagine will fall into my chest
with the strength that I don't have for, for anything but to stare at the lamp

There is a "vintage" vibe there, very true performance. I like this a lot!

great song, really like the dynamic range going from the soft parts to the louder ones, amazing stuff as usual

One of the best songs I have ever heard. I keep this forever.

"words that hit me like glass" is such a great line
thanks for sharing before you left, safe travels!
