This week I wanted to do a unique take on a terrible new pop song, Timber. I slowed down the tempo, added some dark, gritty synths, and put it in 6/8 just for fun. But, the lyrics were so horrible,  I decided to re-write part of them, adding a little bit of my thoughts about this kind of music and the lifestyle it promotes. Hope its no too preachy!

NEW LYRICS:

The bigger they are the harder they fall
these big-iddy boys are dig-digy dogs
I have 'em like Miley Cyrus clothes off
No, wait I can't keep going on 
There is no meaning left in these songs
just a shallow shell of a life lost long before it had a chance to find itself
it got lost in the crowds of liquored up lost dreams of sons and daughters
And now I'm stuck

Look up at the sky, do you remember the sky
Do you remember what it once felt like to be alive
instead of stuck in these cycles of abuse, heart tied
up by a lie, and everything's changed
Music once meant something, in created blooms of melody and light
It's just another club, another drink, another lost and tired night
 another nameless piece of meat that you can claim and leave broken
Art destroyed, hopeless and trite
So I will not swing my partner, round and round
the night is still young and we have a chance to come back down
To fall headfirst, from this crashing plane, hoping to find the ground
and the cycle will keep repeating, until we find ourselves greater than this 
Til we stand up hearts a blaze, with bared teeth and clenched fists
Ready to burn down the clubs,  and reclaim our existence
These are the words of pipe dreams, lost to the unending sound of:
