04 - This Wretched Vessel

Uploaded .

This Wretched Vessel has a lot of post hardcore, Pop punk, punk, and leaning toward metal guitar riffs… but they have a shoegaze side. The only reason I even own a pedalboard is because of their guitarist.

The lyric content is more meta bullshit. “I am writing a song about writing a song…”

  • Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all of the vocals on Feb 27 and 28th as single takes. Most of them stream of conscience nonsense.

Had to listen to the song four times after Tim and Brent said they could understand the lyrics… Neither could I… but I finally figure it out.

We’re really careful to
Methodically set the mood, when we don’t, we try
All the time we’re failing
Feeling inadequate we do, we do
Add the tension for the moment
Were pulling it up now
Something big is happening but we don’t care

Look back down for me now
Could I have ever really cared
Was it ever really intricate
Falling into apathy here

Start to wonder why
If wondering hearts lie what actions do they take
Are they ever really here at all
Were really good at
Saying what we don’t mean
I don’t think I can keep this charade up
I’m feeling so much doubt
I think I’ll hang it up
I think Ill be real in this moment.

This is a lovely piece of emotion. I don't know what you're saying and I don't care. It's a feeling and it comes through. Seriously? An iPad and a $5 mic? Wow.

Saved!
