Lyrics
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
©2012 Ray Kainz
Can I Entertain
When I'm singing 'bout the rain
& the veil that's drawn concealing all the light
Can I make you high
While I question who and why
& how the days are growing shorter than the night
Can I make you smile
after saying all the while
the game is rigged the tables turned
Can I make you dance
while captive in a digital trance
that attracts you and distracts form all that's abandoned and burned
Just remember
The sun sets on the living and the dead
In December
snowflakes fall on everybody's head
So don't slumber
or you'll swallow everything your fed
could this be the end?
Can I freak you out
while ignorance flows with intellectual drought
logic and love are tossed aside
just to be right
Can I make you laugh
with territories trampled by the golden calf
for the flock with freely feed the hand that bites
Just remember
the sun sets on the living and the dead
In December
snowflakes fall on everybody's head
so don't slumber
or you'll swallow everything your fed
this can't be the end...
Just remember
the sun sets on the living and the dead
In December
snowflakes fall on everybody's head
so don't slumber
or you'll swallow everything your fed
Just promise me
that before it all ends we're gonna
Let Love find us
Let Love mend

I like it! I like all the space in the mix and the subtle instrumentation. Nicely structured song with some cool chord changes - could be a missing Beatles song. Melody and lyrics work for me too. Not wishing to sound sycophantic, this is simply a very good post - love the "chook scratching" guitar - fantastic light and shade. If I had to state a nit (and it would be via a blowtorch to the soles of my feet!) I reckon for a pop song, its probably a minute or so too long.
Did I mention I like it?
Cheers from Oz,
