You Wake Me Up
by @slyeli
Liner Notes
This is a song about sometimes feeling like you're a bad parent. Apologies for the rough singing and fluffed words, I need to go back and record a better take but I don't have time at the moment.
Lyrics
You wake me up boy up it’s true Am I so cold boy cold to you And I will take you from this place you have grown And leave you stranded with these faces unknown
You trip me up girl up it’s true Am I fraud girl fraud to you And I will teach you how to gripe and moan And I will kill all of the seeds you have sown And I can’t take it anymore I am gone
You lift me up though up it’s true And it’s no life no life without you And I will shake myself till I make it through And there is nothing that this old man won’t do And I won’t break you and I’ll never give up

Ooh, a well-placed synth lead is pure gold when it hits just right. (e.g. David Bazan's "How I Remember," Wax Mannequin's "The Doctor," or Grandaddy's "Chartsengrafs"). This one doesn't disappoint. Looking forward to checking out your other stuff. I dig your setup.

Wow, this is dark! No need to apologize... we're all scrambling to deliver some new music in a very short time!

A good set of lyrics and a Strong melody line too. It flows very nicely indeed and turns out to be a bit of a headnodder when that synth kicks in. Getting some good Grandaddy vibes here in places. Good work
