about

Bijou: I sent a little piano part to my good buddy, Ze, and he added some awesome organ and shakers. The rest went downhill from there, (but in a good way) 😉. This song was squeezed out of the pit of my soul. I have been working really hard myself this past couple of years and I feel like this song (and fawm) has really helped me in my journey to put pieces of me back together. Thanks, Ze for all your awesomeness and for putting up with me through all these years.

ZeCoop : Even a short little piano thing was a super bright spot in my FAWM this year - what an unexpected surprise! It was beautiful and lovely with a dark turn at the end. Since it was so short I looped it and faded out before the darkness came back. It was so fun adding my Hammond and shakers. but as usual, what Bijou has done with it is incredible and just blows my mind. The musical vision is something I am just proud to even had a little part of - Amazing, every single time. I am always so happy to write with you but am even more glad to be your friend. 😀

lyrics

I’m digging deep into my soul to learn the lessons I forgot,
There so many diamonds here, I gettin' pretty lost,
I’m afraid I melted away in your hands again,
The comfort of the sun feels like sandpaper on my skin.

This burning sensation of loneliness tears up my self control,
My gnarly tears fall from a strangers face and opens up the door,
A folly drip drop filling up my lost identity,
And here comes all the messy questions…

Oh, who will I be now?
Am I no longer me now?
Is there another way?

You see, I crawled from a dark and dreary dream.

I hurt more deeply than this hole I’ve dug myself in,
Don’t get too close to my flame it’ll make your head spin,
I’ve got a mouthful of flowers and they giving me cavities,
I don’t know how earth can deal with all this gravity,
Can’t shake this pain even though I am a dog
And everyday is the same,
I’ve got so much hope it’s a funny game,
All these fake burning dreams
It smells like tomorrow,
All I’ve ever wanted was to heal this sorrow.

Lift me out
I think I’m ready now
Please hold me steady now
I’m gunna give it one more try

Because I’ve learned that I’m so much bigger than the things that wanna swallow me,
And I know that the skin surrounding me is all that I need,
It’s all I need to be free
And it’s okay to be me.

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.
