Maybe after this song.FREE DOWNLOAD: "Words, Girls, Chords, Colours"

And another, while we're at it. Last week I was playing around with some drum samples I sneakily made while recording Jałowski in September - while the band was having a break, I thought I would just record some separate drum hits to play around with. Among them was a toyish rototom loop which I ended up using as a rhythmic base for this writing demo.

The song itself is a snide yet hopeful diatribe against a defecting band member, and in a more general sense, an expression of a surviving belief in rock & roll.

Wolkenvelden - Words, Girls, Chords, Colours (5.2MB MP3) (lyrics)

Well isn't it always something else
Put your pride back on the shelf
And if you'll say: "It'll always be this way"
I will not believe you

Caution ain't the only thing
I've been known to throw to the wind
So if you believe in what we're trying to achieve
Then come make it so

There are not enough words and girls in my head
To keep me entertained until I'm dead

I wish I had a camera for each time
I suddenly, inexplicably feel alive
'Cause I feel old from all the souls I've sold
To get by

There are not enough chords and colours in this world
But we haven't seen them all, so give it a whirl

When all of this is over, who'll have won?
When everyone just wants their place in the sun
Internecine squabbles benefit none
One day I'll burn all my bridges, maybe after this one
Maybe after this song

Full disclosure: the working title, when I wasn't yet sure what the hell I was doing, was "MacGyver". Just so you know.
