That’s one of my old songs, played live with a college band. I’m on vocals and rhythm guitar.
Lyrics: (It’s superficially sweet, but in fact is critical of writers who write “safely.”)
Marigold Mary
inks her rhymes
with flammable flatcars
out of time
Strawberry strangled
a flower flood
ineffective and barren
a perfect void
La, la, la, la, la, la...
Give her emotion
deliver song
pollute her with memory
‘til nothing’s wrong
Intuition
and archetypes
letting it happen
imitate life
[Chorus]
Write what’s real
Sing what you feel
You can’t steal
Give her emotion
deliver song
pollute her with memory
‘til nothing’s wrong
Intuition
and archetypes
letting it happen
imitate life
[Chorus]
Write what’s real
Sing what you feel
You can’t steal
[Break]
Marigold Mary
inks her rhymes
with flammable flatcars
out of time
Strawberry strangled
a flower flood
ineffective and barren
a perfect void
Hey I really like it! Guitar and voice, the rhythm. I'll go through your work and listen more, I love the style. Made me feel in a pub jam session in the countryside, thank you!
Fun fact: the other day I was about to buy marigolds, the song is well timed haha
