about: LYRICS

Everybody loves me, but they went off with one another
They say I’m looking lovely but they’re attracted to each other
And I am running out of options - I am running less and less these days
And I know we all are getting older but I am getting less and less these days
And I’m closing down, see
It’s not that I’m sad more like I’m cold but maybe

I don’t need you I’ll be fine I’ve got my rhythm down
I like my freedom crave my space you’d only throw my rhythm out

The whole wide world is open - I could start another life there
And it’s not popular opinion but there’s something to be said for sticking with your share
I am burning out on options I am burning less and less these days
I can do just as it please me but I am pleasing less and less these days

If I could have planned for this..
But you are the only thing I took for granted

I don’t need you I’ll be fine I’ve got my rhythm down
I like my freedom crave my space you’d only throw my rhythm out

Anyway, so many get and throw it all away, and those that would have stayed are left with nothing
And nobody's choosing love, they choose whatever gives them what they want, I'll be better off clutching my something but sometimes it feels like nothing

Everybody loves me, but they went off with one another
lyrics: Flying and Solitary Song 3 - Rhythm Out

Well, I’m somewhere just north and a whole lot of up from Hudson Bay, in seat 17G on Thomas Cook airlines. Jez and I land in Vancouver in 4 hours, should all go according to plan and let me tell you, I hope it does.

It’s been a whirlwind of a month, and while I’m not one to boast of busyness, as the past 21 months have seen their fair share of cultural acclimatizing for me, and not a whole lot moving in the music department, I’m happy that May has been so full. For some reason or another a few of the gigs I’d been trying to get all came through at once, along with several more that came to me - many of you will know this having been so great at coming out to some of them.
At any rate, between all that and prepping for this trip back to Canada, writing and getting the June Solitary Song has been a challenge, but I did accomplish it.

Fairly straight forward guitar part this time, no picking, but I did use the capo on the second fret leaving the high E string out to ring open most of the time, which funnily enough seems to make quite a profound effect for something so simple - no de-tuning or anything.

They say London is a city of single people. Seems true enough, although there are plenty of other big cities out there in at least similar boats I suspect. On the whole, I’m guessing this is what people are choosing, but there are many that wouldn’t choose it that are stuck with it nonetheless, for reasons often quite illusive. Some of us expect a lot out of life, others not much, but generally I think we all have expectations of some sort about what life will/might/should hold, and a lot of them seem almost as obvious as breathing. What we do if we don’t get them but still find ourselves breathing is a mystery to me. “Rhythm Out” is a song about the pain of this kind of bewilderment.

I’m in British Columbia until June 27th, and then I fly to Austria with Jez for an arts conference at Schloss Mittersill, and we get back to Oxford on July 4th. I’m working on the Solitary Song for July, and although the mp3 will be late in arriving (scandalous) I think I might do a video with my laptop, which I can do from anywhere, and share that with you all on the 1st. I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one.

Miriam
