about
I have no clue what this is about. It feels like it’s something specific, but it’s tucked away, back there in the subconcious, having a kip.
lyrics
My friends, my friends, gather ’round I’ve got something to say to you,
You won’t like it much, but that’s neither here nor there.
We stopped off, got drunk, got high and danced like lunatics,
And then I talked to the walls ‘cos no one else was listening.
No one else was listening,
No one else was listening,
No one else was listening.
Now that we all know exactly where we’re going,
I’d like to take this chance to boom the conversation bomb.
When you woke up you heard the sound of the city,
When you slept you dreamed about the trebled sound of your pain.
They were one and the same,
They were one and the same,
They were one and the same.
You know you shouldn’t treat her like that,
It’ll come back to haunt you.
You know the sound of her pain,
Drowns out the noise,
The rack and the whip,
The torture of the situation,
The devil in charge of the work detail,
You’re wringing your hands,
On a decision you’ve already made.
You won’t like it much, but that’s neither here nor there.
We stopped off, got drunk, got high and danced like lunatics,
And then I talked to the walls ‘cos no one else was listening.
No one else was listening,
No one else was listening,
No one else was listening.
Now that we all know exactly where we’re going,
I’d like to take this chance to boom the conversation bomb.
When you woke up you heard the sound of the city,
When you slept you dreamed about the trebled sound of your pain.
They were one and the same,
They were one and the same,
They were one and the same.
You know you shouldn’t treat her like that,
It’ll come back to haunt you.
You know the sound of her pain,
Drowns out the noise,
The rack and the whip,
The torture of the situation,
The devil in charge of the work detail,
You’re wringing your hands,
On a decision you’ve already made.

Notes From The Wonderground
by The Reflection BoxIrish singer-songwriter Sarah E. Cullen bares her heart over pastoral folk arrangements enshrouded in a dream-pop haze.

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
