Created while I was on chemotherapy in Adelaide, during COVID, with a friend between 3 studios. A song about watching a friend start to go downhill in an episode of depression, with the message attached that they are still loved and we hope they come out of it soon. Debut single of LIFEBUOY.
lyrics
VERSE 1:
Hold on, we'll set it all on fire and watch the flames go higher, somethings gotta give
Slow down, everythings a dream and nothings what seems, somethings gotta live
So long, welcome to show It's sad you have to go
Tumbling down the well
I'll be around, we'll make a little shrine for all of the times that you fell
PRE CHORUS: (Operatic singing)
CHORUS:
Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now
I Need You By My Side
Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I
I've Waited for so long.
Please Don't fall to pieces now,
You seem so far away
Please Don't Fall to Pieces
I just want you to stay.
VERSE 2:
It's high time, I know you're not a Liar just feeding your desire, living for the thrill
Up there, nothing can be fair it’s all too much to bear, for a look that kills
It’s not a crime, sometimes it’s sublime but now you’re outta time
And you’re just a shell
I’ll be around, we'll make a little shrine for all of the times that you fell
PRE CHORUS: (Operatic Singing)
CHORUS:
Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now
I Need You By My Side
Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I
I've Waited for so long.
Please Don't fall to pieces now,
You seem so far away
Please Don't Fall to Pieces
I just want you to stay. (No one is gonna save me)
Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now
I Need You By My Side (I Think I'm Going Crazy)
Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I
I've Waited for so long. (No on is gonna save me)
Please Don't fall to pieces now,
You seem so far away (I think I'm going crazy)
Please Don't Fall to Pieces
I just want you to stay. (No one is gonna save me)
OUTRO:
I think I'm going crazy.
No one is gonna save me.

This album made me want to be a music producer very early in my career. Ta-Ku really inspired me to dive deeper into caring for the layers. matthew.gear
