FAWM: "I Think It Was 2012"

I Think It Was 2012

Liner Notes

Poor ol classical is alllll loosey goosey. This is the evolved version of the accidental evanescence from yesterday. #alternatetuning #sadbastardmusic

Lyrics

Dog eared page inside my brain A path worn bare from use Once upon a time I had a steady hand But that’s really no excuse

Do you think the world did end Sometime back like 2010 Then again, I think it was 2012 I think that’s when we lost ourselves

The hallway goes on forever Building on this burial ground I don’t know what we expected The rain just keeps fallin down

Do you think the world did end Sometime back like 2010 Then again, I think it was 2012 I think that’s when we lost ourselves

I don’t wanna watch a pendulum swing But I admit, I didn’t think I would be One of the grown ups in the room Finding out no one knows what to do

Do you think the world did end Sometime back like 2010 Then again, I think it was 2012 I think that’s when we lost ourselves

What a great opening line. “Dog eared page inside my brain” beautiful melody.

What a lovely, tender vocal! Yum! Lovely harmonies, carefully placed. The music is timeless. There’s a lot of talent on display here.

@jennakole 1w

Thank you so much! Means a lot!

This is utterly gorgeous. The instrumentation is so, so pretty and supports your vocal on this beautifully. It's full of so many good lyrics I could be quoting all of them but this is the one that kicked me in the face:

I don’t wanna watch a pendulum swing But I admit, I didn’t think I would be One of the grown ups in the room Finding out no one knows what to do

Beautiful, beautiful work.

@jennakole 1w

🥹 thank youuuu

I like the foreboding bass walk especially at mid verse OOMPH 🆒 instrumentation complimented the melancholy lyrics nicely. It got me thinking - Maybe the world did end and we are now post rapture chilling here 🤔 😆 Thanks for sharing

@jennakole 1w

Right? Somehow it makes sense, no?

@finfeather 1w

just wonderful, Jenna. 'Once upon a time I had a steady hand' is such a perfect summary to this emotional current running through so much of the collective. and sonically poignant, as ever

@lsorese 1w

Jenna 🤝 Logan, agreeing the world ended in 2012.

@paintonit 1w

The classical guitar really suits your playing! I connect with this sentiment deeply. My favorite line is "I don't know what we expected, the rain just keeps falling down." When I was younger, I imagined life would have obvious checkpoints where we could just chill and stay satisfied. Keep going!

“Dog eared page inside my brain” is such a good opening line. I love this song concept that the world’s already ended, your lyrics are incredible as always. The bit about being one of the grown ups finding out no one knows what they’re doing is so real
