Liner Notes
This is my morph of @ragbag's “A Difficult Light”https://fawm.org/songs/318270
This was my process: (1) I kept Ragbag's 1+1 format (one voice, one instrument) but switched from piano to guitar (2) I kept the two-verse structure, but instead of a pre-chorus and chorus I did chorus 1 and chorus 2 (3) I paraphrased his verse 1 lyrics and used many of his pre-chorus and chorus lyrics in my two choruses, but I rewrote the second verse to make the song more ambiguous (i.e., whether personal or political) (4) I did the song in a different key but used his chord progressions for the intro and verse and created my chorus from a mix of his progressions for pre-chorus and chorus
Lyrics
No One’s Listening Anymore (a MORPH song)
Intro:
V1: There's a hard situation here There's a hard conversation on the way There's a threat of a storm in the air There are hard things no one wants to say
CH1: We never talk things over The way we did before Now every word’s a weapon And no one's listening any[Am}more
V2: Little fires spring up every day We cheer when each match is lit Anger is such an easy way To avoid the truths we should admit
CH2: We never talk things over No room for compromise It's so hard to find kindness So hard to find the light
CH1: We never talk things over The way we did before Now every word’s a weapon No one's listening anymore
The way you ended this left me feeling haunted, beautifully done.
