Slide

This weeks track started out as a piece on the piano playing around with chords and a melody that evoked a feeling of sliding down. After recording it, I did a scratch vocal melody that stripped back the piano melody, and distilled it down nicely. It was a really fun way of working, and was nice being back writing on the piano.
Lyrics:
I hesitate
your words were empty, but weighed me down
The time it breaks
all my thoughts are fragments now
And I can't help
but feel that I am nothing
I'm left here plagued
the moments pass on through me
And where will I be tomorrow
your words they cast a bitter shadow
And then I slide down
Holding onto all I can
Slide down
Losing myself to the depths
I slide down
There's nothing left for me here but to
Slide down
Slide down, down
