Description
Is it just me or does this song sound like Bowie singing for Rush? Anyway, the chorus is ridiculously catchy, and a few rough edges aside it is not a bad little tune. I played rhythm guitar on this for a change, not too bad considering I haven't played guitar in forever. I think it took us about four hours to record this one and mixing was a breeze, but as always I'm open to suggestions.

The Core
Lyrics by Chris Winters
Music by Rich Huston and Chris Winters
You ask me just what is wrong, and
What you can do to make it right
Gnawing notions deep within you
Crawling up into the light
I say nothing if I can help it
I joke about the lack of sunlight
You can see the chinks in my armor
Reflections are no longer so bright
Don’t want to uncover what’s hidden down below
I think it’s another life that I’ve let go
I’m taking control of the words in my head
I’m taking back all the words that I said
I take it out on whoever’s closest
We’ll take it up again when we drop our poses
Please be careful with your questions
Words are sharper than a knife
Afraid they’ll pierce this fragile bubble
Let the air out of our lives
Bring to the surface what I’d buried long before
Don’t know what on earth is hidden at the core

Kind of 80s sound - very good lyrics, and a good all-round production. Not sure about Bowie, but there's something very distinctive about the vocal which I can't quite place. I really like the feel of the song - you've really nailed the style (wish I could put a name to it - maybe "penguish") :)
