about

I was experimenting with ideas for songs that were about sounds and sat down to write this piece in under an hour. I recorded as I could over the weekend, bounced some ideas off my music partner, and pulled the collective ideas into layers of vocal loops and percussion effects

lyrics

I'm trying to define the sound of falling down
The sound of waiting... before the break

I'm trying an experiment and it's not going to be pretty
I think I see the ground
I think I see the sound
I'm trying an experiment and it's not going to be pretty
I think I see the ground
Do you want to see it too?

I think it's like the whip whistle of flying wires
I think it's Alice's fingers scraping the dirt down the rabbit hole
I think it's like a panicked scream caught in a dream
Oh jeeze

I'm trying to define the sound of falling down
The sound of waiting... before the break

(9.8 meters per second squared)

I think it's like the whip whistle of flying wires
I think it's Alice's fingers scraping the dirt down the rabbit hole
I think it's like a panicked scream caught in a dream
Oh jeeze

Down down down down down...

I'm trying to define the sound of falling down
The sound of waiting... before the break

This isn't going to pretty!
I think I see the ground
I think I see the sound
Do you want to see it too?
Do you want to see it too?
Step to the edge... I'll push you over

I'm trying to define the sound of falling down
The sound of waiting... before the break

I know, I know that it's futile
I'm trying to define... Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

I'm trying to define the sound of falling down
The sound of waiting... before the break
