Ironclad

from A Decent Harvest by Chris Harris

/

about

A song written after realising that I'd produced a series of grumpy (verging on downright angry) songs, some of which appear on this album. I made a conscious decision to be more positive, and this was my first attempt.

Bass is my trusty Chapman Stick, which I should really use more often.

lyrics

You know that there is trouble brewing
When everything stops being fun
I put off things I should be doing
Thought my anxieties had won

I couldn't see in my reflection
The way I thought I should appear
Completely lacking in direction
Because I'd given in to fear

I couldn't see
Thought I was mad
Thought I was fragile
When I was ironclad

When people set out to control you
they first convince you that you're weak
It makes it easier to roll you
When you accept you should be meek

The truth is simple when you say it
Make sure your narrative is good
and find a brighter way to play it
Be the best person that you could

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.
