about

Another of the songs I wrote in 2022 for Nur Ein, in this one I'm singing about how I felt at that point in the tournament and also in general. I've entered Nur Ein many times and every time I get annoyed that the judging is set up to be completely free form. I know going into it that I don't like that aspect of the tournament, and yet I keep entering it anyway. Oops! I think I had an idea to really lean into the circa 1990 alt rock loud quiet loud thing and I even used some Steve Albini recorded drum samples to dial in that sound.

lyrics

I gave up my reason
I gave up my rhyme
No more ways to say
Somethin’ ‘bout nothin’
The days grow long
But the nights get shorter
And I’m still not satisfied

Under the June moon
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
I might get a "scolding"
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight

I’m still in mourning
Still feeling lost
Look for a way to make
Somethin’ from nothin’
A year disappears
Now the weeks drag on
And I’m still not satisfied

Under the June moon
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
I might get a "scolding"
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight

I’m falling apart
I’m breaking down
Feel like I’m turning from
Somethin’ to nothin’
And I’m still not satisfied

Under the June moon
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
I might get a "scolding"
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight
