Liner Notes

#folkpop #indiepop #queer #storycubechallenge

I was given this from @darcistrutt : your roll was: Bag on a stick, chalk drawing of a body, uniform patch, crow, and the action was listening.

I think I got it all, except for the patch.

Turned into my favourite song thus far. I looked up bag on a stick, found out it was called a bindle, ended up looking at anachronisms, put the bindle on the subway and suddenly I was back in Montreal where I lived a lifetime ago. Some truths in here, and some make-believe - I find a combo is usually best. Thanks @darcistrutt !

Lyrics

a parachronism is something that’s lost in time like toting a bindle on the Orange Line It’s like calling your girlfriend at home and she answers on a rotary phone

I called you to meet me for supper at the Spirit Lounge we had to get bagels instead, cuz they shut it down I dropped my bindle on the metro floor and we walked up to St. Viateur

oh bébé tu me fais perdre la tête I live above a sushi restaurant I get miso soup every day I’m fickle, you’re feckless, we’re frivolous we’re a pretty kitty cabaret

a prochronism is leaping ahead in time like a crow that can fly to the moon to collect moon dimes you gave a promise ring to me to wear but darling, we weren’t quite there

three floors beneath us, the uniformed cops arrived we listened intently as they made their chalk outlines a dead body on the bathroom floor he won’t get his Miso soup no more

oh bébé tu me fais perdre la tête I live above a sushi restaurant I get miso soup every day I’m fickle, you’re feckless, we’re frivolous we’re a pretty kitty cabaret

oh bébé tu me fais perdre la tête oh!

Sweet vocals delivery! The echo on "miso" was fun and made me smile. Well it's very dark at the end despite the sweetness haha

Very vivid lyrics. Is that a passage in french? the little miso, miso in the background was a really nice touch. Quite the dark turn in the last verse. Great song! That "oh bébé tu me fais perdre la tête" got absolutely stuck in my ear.

I'm sure the cops had patches on their uniforms, so you're covered! Well done! The delivery was fun! Cute song!

I do like a song with a story and I like this one. It was nice to hear that little bit of percussion in there as well. Made me smile.

Crikey, hit me with a new word so quickly. I love the progression here, simple but very effective, sits perfectly against the lyric. Well done sneaking in all the constraints. Ooo n a bit of french to top it off. Your driving me crazy ha ha.
