I wrote these lyrics halfway up a tree in a local park during a midnight stroll on LSD. Trying to listen to some music through headphones and enjoy the scenery at the park, I had this nagging paranoia that someone was going to sneak up behind me, so after trying out a few different vantage points on various park benches I ended up climbing a tree as this seemed like a good idea at the time. I listened to Randy Newman’s ‘I Think It’s Going to Rain Today’ while the wind whipped me and tree around together, it was a genuinely magical experience, I managed to write a few verses on my phone before I inevitably dropped it. When I woke up in bed the next day, I re-read what I had written down and enjoyed the absurdity of some of it, particularly referencing the American-born Swedish pole vaulter Duplantis.
This was the first tack we recorded for the album and because we were recording from home, I was little worried about the fidelity of the recordings, particularly the drums. In order to combat this, we decided to try and avoid using cymbals as much as possible as they tend to be one of the harsher qualities of home recordings, using some of John Lennon’s ‘Plastic Ono Band’ as a reference. Funnily enough, I unintentionally I played the guitar solo on a plastic guitar, through a plastic amp.
lyrics
The unholy gaze
Of sudden change
Took me by the collar and gave me shake
Rattled my cage
From its eyes I could not break away
Here I should be safe
Like a leopard in the branches lounging within,
The clothes it was born
Man I seem to find this really strange
Bending like Duplantis with the breeze
While the wind is bending around me
But if I break I won’t be on my knees
I’ve led myself astray
A midnight walk to clear the thoughts and try to ease a little pain
The moons looking pale
And randy thinks its going to rain today
Bending like Duplantis with the breeze
While the wind is bending around me
But if I break I won’t be on my knees
This is the sort of punk album 99% of US acts would give their left nut to put out!! And TR brings an outstanding melodic element and some cracking vocals and lyrics! What a great collection of tunes!!! Get this album up ya, and then pass it on to your gen Z kids, mates!!! Ralph Douglas
