about
One day my dad told me he'd written a new song, and asked if I'd help him record it and orchestrate it. After recording him playing the guitar to a click track I set to work adding other instruments and finally vocals. It's a shame because I put a lot of time and effort into this, and the audio quality doesn't seem to want to cooperate no matter what I do with it, so every now and then the audio will crackle and pop. Maybe one day I'll work on fixing this, but until then this is the best I could do, I hope you enjoy it. Credit goes to my father, Robert Lancey for writing this song in the first place.
lyrics
Who's that looking at me with those eyes?
Those eyes that used to be my eyes,
And what the hell you done to them?
What's that finger you're shaking?
Is there some point you are making?
What am I accused of here?
And I don't feel so good today,
I'm just racked with aches and pains,
And the pains won't go away, no,
I don't need your happy pill,
Just keep pushing me over this hill,
But tell me, where's the boy?
What's this loose skin hanging from your face?
Why can't you push it back into place?
When on earth did that thing occur?
And what are these tears you're crying?
Like you've seen someone dying,
A child with bloodshot eyes,
And I don't feel so great today,
All I'm feeling is aches and pains,
And the pains won't go away, no,
I don't need your sympathy vote,
Don't try to float this sinking boat,
Just tell me, where's the boy?
And the stars that shone when you were born,
Well they'll still be shining when you're long gone,
When you're dead and gone,
Dead and gone..
What's this flashback of grandma's grandfather clock?
The swinging weight and mechanical tock,
I watched for hours but never knew,
That every tick was a nail in my box,
That every tock was the sound of decay,
We're all born dying, why did nobody say so?
And I don't feel so good today,
I'm just racked with aches and pains,
And the pains won't go away, no,
I don't need your happy pill,
Just keep pushing me over this hill,
But tell me, where's the boy?
And the stars that shone when I was born,
Well they'll still be shining when I'm long gone,
When I'm dead and gone,
Dead and gone..
