Wings (ft Liz Frencham)

about

Written originally on my 1973 Ludwig drum kit as a lone drum track, and then I added bass and guitar after that. As with many songs of mine, it has a heavier emotional feel and was called "Heavy Thoughts".

I sent it to the wonderful Liz Frencham in Australia to see if she could come up with any lyrics and vocals. After a couple of weeks, she finally got some inspiration. It took a while because the heaviness of the song took her to places that she didn't necessarily want to write lyrics about.

Luckily - she figured it out. Liz is an amazing talent and I was thrilled to finally be able to collaborate on a song. Please check out her music on her bandcamp site:

lyrics

Wings (Liz Frencham)

Time
waits for no one
And no one waits for me
And who are you to define
what I have to live for?
I've lived forty years
Nothing here to see

If I could carve a pair of wings
out of these chips that crush my shoulders
I could fly so far from all that I’ve done
So far from who I've become

Time
waits for no one
I am no one
Time please set me free
Resigned to this slow growing ache until I break
You can keep this life
There's nothing good for me

If I could carve a pair of wings
out of these chips that crush my shoulders
I could fly so far from all that I’ve done
So far from who I've become

(Just take your time)
I’ve tried and tried to walk this crazy wire line
(It all takes time)
I’m not a circus athlete and I’m disinclined to meet your expectations
(It all takes time)
Reflect your safe projections
(Don’t waste my time)
I’m bored with your protection

Time
waits for no one
And no one waits for me
And who are you to define
what I have to live for?
You haven't done a single thing for me

about

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
