about

(jazz, punk-cabaret)

Song dedicated to all those depressed and sad folks out there. But beware, there is some crazy shit happening here!

Slow and deep orchestral-dreamy feeling lead by piano and cello, soloed by jazzy trumpet. Sad vocal story about loneliness, hopelessness and depression, fully expressing writer's mood.

As his mood improved significantly while recording, the song did so as well, becoming this silly mixture of punk, folk, rock and cabaret!
Crazy, punch-drunk and goofy vocals accompanied by fast punk-rock tempo will make you smile for a while. If not, then the ridiculous wacky video surely will! youtu.be/FaWQjvYXlE8

lyrics

Lyrics:

1.
Down by the river, where the leaves all fall down,
where grey and sad stone with his eyes in tears drown.

Deep down in the river, when the winter spreads fear,
when his frozen soul struggling with his mind's frozen tear.

2.
Deep in cold water,up his chest clamping in,
it's so hard to breath freely, it's so hard to breath in.

Deep down in the water, to wrong place stone is pinned,
upset by the river, annoyed by the wind.


CHORUS:
Confusing flood and black dreadful clouds
by his eyes flowing through!
Choke the heart, damp the dream and disturb once clear view.

Freezing wind gains and heavy rains
followed by pitch black night!
Fear grows strong, all seems wrong, sadness covers all tight.

SOLO

Lonely, gloomy
Sleepy, doomy
Melancholy
Sad! Mad!

Useless, worthless
dreadful, hopeless
Lazy bastard
Cry! Die!

Anxious, guilty
Scary, filthy
Pessimistic
Stressed! Waste!


Gloomy sunday
Fucking monday
Angry, tired
uninspired...


nana, nana
nana, nana
nananana
na! na!

lala, lala
lala, lala
lalalala
la! la!

dada, dada
dada, dada
dadadada
da! da!

papa, papa
papa, papa
papapapa
papapapa!

3.
Down by the river
where the sky slowly clears
where that grey and sad stone with his eyes full of tears.

Deep down in the river
when he emptied his eyes
he has drowned when the level has raised by his cries.
