about

This is the second song from my developing second solo effort 'Bad Hair In The House Of The King' - it represents the end of a long creative drought. Lockdowns are good for something, right?!

Back in 2014 I released a full album under the name Anova Skyward, inspired by Dave Grohl's efforts on the first Foo Fighters album. You can hear that at anovaskyward.bandcamp.com - there's more under my new name ThumbOfRule at thumbofrule.bandcamp.com too.

I've always loved songs before drums, so while I'm a drummer I always have a melody in my head and a new chord progression pops out whenever I pick up a guitar.

I'll be releasing new songs as frequently as possible, eventually to be combined in a full album...

Thank you for listening.

lyrics

Guilty, awake with the light and nothing has been done
Home free, there's two ways out but I choose neither one

I am not the first, feel just like the first who volunteered to hide away
A stationary curse, I'll hit you where it hurts - forget about the plans you made

Whatever, it's all gone in reverse

You're easy to eliminate in this game of who knows who
I have no need for all your complicated truths

I am not the first, feel just like the first to push the switch and run away
To go in reverse first you must let hurt colour all the words you say

Away, all just go away

I'll keep you protected when nothing is safe - 'cause nothing is safe
What were you expecting - another parade?

Whatever, it's all gone in reverse
