Until I Lose My Mind (WB50)

By spry on December 18, 2022 7:52 pm

Been tossing this song around in my head for a few weeks. You know that feeling when something seems so obvious and easy for everyone else but for some reason it stubbornly stays unobtainable for some befuddling reason? Yea that's the feeling!

Spent a couple hours on Sunday afternoon recording the guitar, vox and percussion before mixing it down with some compressors, reverb and some panning to fill it out a bit. Total recording work time about 3 hours not counting me writing the song smile


Lyrics:


And when it comes to mind
I think I'm out of time
I feel it slipping
Away from me

And though it's in the air
I can't see it anywhere
It makes me feel so
Out of reach


It's sitting there just out of reach
I'm sitting here just out of reach

Until I loose my mind


And though it's in the air
I think I'm out of time
I feel it slipping
Away from me

And when it comes to mind
I can't see it anywhere
It makes me feel so
Out of reach


It's sitting there just out of reach
I'm sitting here just out of reach

Until I loose my mind

A truly pop gem, I must say. And I don't say it lightly smile

Really loved the harmonies in this one, specially what you did in every "until I loose my mind" part.

Excellent melodic sensibility. This will be on repeat in my playlist smile


This is a really pretty tune! Nicely layered and very rhythmically satisfying.

like the way you combine Nick Drake guitar chords with beautiful Grizzly bear vocals.

Nice work, sounds great
The best way to deal with this, I feel, is to just let go

love this one! Great chord progression and melody. I need to come over and jam out on this one for sure!

It's that doublestop on the A chord in the chorus which makes it feel so off yet on I think smile

I hadn't heard of Nick Drake before but that's a great comparison! I looked him up and I'm loving that classical guitar in the folk context smile
