replacer - just another dream [psych pop]
https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/alb...
From my submission to P@D: Zenith in May 2022. This track was a bit of an exploratory thing I guess, looking for ways to improve and develop. At the time I was interested in keeping drums to a minimum, which made the arrangement kind of floaty and surreal.
The title is a callback to 'Just A Dream' on my Birdhorse EP, so I decided to make the artwork similar too.
Lyrics:
you know there might be trouble
looking over my head
don't like the struggle
i'll pick another instead
you're so hard to follow
i don't really know what i'm breathing
there's something hollow
over the edge of my wing
i see a new thing
you're telling me all of it's allowed
you have to blunder through somehow
let me help you show yourself around
with all these colours that you found
don't you think it's hard to know what's wrong
when you're still not playing where you belong
it's something in the harmony
leading me round to another adventure sound
my heart keeps running away with me
now we're a little fire
a little further astray
could be a little higher
why do you pull me away
you're gonna see me one day
i'm telling you all of it's allowed
you have to blunder through somehow
that you may continue to astound
with all these planets that you've found
don't you think it's hard to know what's wrong
when you still don't see the place you belong
it's something in the harmony
leading me round to another adventure sound
