This song had been recorded for about a year, waiting for a saxophone fill... after finally renting one in June, I can finally say that it is finished!
This is a cover of a Men At Work song that I approached mixing acoustic rock and electric dance together. I had been planning to cover this song for years now, being as it's my favorite Men At Work song I enjoyed impersonating Colin Hay. This is also my last recording for my second album, so I will be tweaking and compiling everything soon. Enjoy!
lyrics
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
Although there's little variation
That nullifies the night
From overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
But I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
