Tricks
Liner Notes
I find it next to impossible to find the time to make music these days and this makes me feel a bit sad. Anyway, I wanted to try and get my voice into at least one thing this year - and here it is! I'm so out of practice with everything; it is what it is though. Part of me feels like this might be my final year here. I don't know, we'll see, never say never I guess. I'll try and catch up on some listening before the end of the month now.
Lyrics
You’re too much of a coward to say the words out loud Or admit to yourself the way you feel If words were to take form and slip out of your mouth That’s the moment when they’d become real
Stepping over chasms, avoiding all the cracks Taking such great care behind the wheel But if in a weak moment your truth finds an escape That’s when we’ll all know just how you feel
You think you've got them all fooled but that's wide of the mark And the only tricks you ever had were practiced in the dark

You’re far too kind Anya x
Ooh, I like this. Lovely voice and dreamy synths. Some left of centre chord changes in there too.! Nice!
Many of us have reached that point in recent years. The feeling that it might be your last year participating here. That is fine, and actually quite logical. I have also had years where I thought creativity or joy was hard to find. I have skipped a year now and then, with the result that the joy and confidence come back on their own. So, indeed, never say never. And when I hear this track, I think it will be just fine. It was nice to listen to this and your voice is great!
I hope it's not your last one because there's nobody here who makes inventive, delightful music like you do. This is so meticulously crafted. It's like being pulled along by the tide. That parallel subsitution on fooled/had is divine.
