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
