Doldrums

from A Decent Harvest by Chris Harris

/

about

It's somewhat ironic that a song written about being unable to write a song turns out to be one of the best pieces I've ever produced (he said, humbly...)

lyrics

I know right now I should be writing
So tempted just to stay in bed
Pretend the monsters that I'm fighting
Only exist inside my head

Cant find two words to string together
Internal dialogue left dumb
When hours and minutes last forever
Some days the words just will not come

I get this feeling now and then
Stuck in the Doldrums once again

No wind to fill my sails
My life has lost its spark
Just chasing my own tail
and sitting in the dark

It's a temporary feeling
that I've learned I can't ignore
'cause whatever's set me reeling
I know I'll have to answer for

I get this feeling now and then
Stuck in the Doldrums once again

No wind to fill my sails
My life has lost its spark
Just chasing my own tail
and sitting in the dark

I get advice about persisting
and fortune favouring the bold
But my subconscious is resiting
The muse just won't do as it's told

I get this feeling now and then
Stuck in the Doldrums once again

No wind to fill my sails
My life has lost its spark
Just chasing my own tail
and sitting in the dark

I'm going round and round
Just drifting round and round

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
