Music I made in my home studio, figuring it out as I go.
"Effigy" - Peter Benson (ORIGINAL SONG)
"Effigy" written, performed and produced by Peter Benson.
Lyrics:
I built my life from stems and twigs
I guess I let it get too big
She burned me like an effigy
And then she turned and said to me
"Why'd you let the flame die out?"
I know I should know better
I should have checked the weather
The forecast warned of wildfire risk
I never thought it'd come to this
Why'd you go and sell me out?
Lately I don't feel the way I wanna feel
It's hard to realize what's really real
We're all just dealing with the dealings we've been dealt
And I for one am feeling sick of feeling how I've felt
Life is precarious
Better to live vicarious
Feel the warmth from a safe distance
I'll ask anyone who listens
Was it worth being hollowed out?
I don't have an exit planned
I thought "Emergencies be damned"
When I'm down to glowing embers
Will I last until December?
Why'd I let my flame die out?

Good shit man
Great start , you should look for improvement, you have a nice voice just keep on the note don't fly high or get low too often , words will be improved with time ,
I did write this song in one evening, so it was a bit rushed. But, I am proud of the lyrics and vocal performance 💪
Uh, Peter Astley, I guess… or something.
🤣
@@PeterBensonMusic Like, you did the vocal cover. I guess. Your face is on the picture of Rick Astley himself… so… The vocal cover was done by you, Peter Benson, so… I thought why not… say… “Peter” Astley instead of “Rick” Astley or something… So…
Random algorithm suggestion 🤔 Hello Peter 🤣😂 Ima subscribe now so I can say i was here before you collabed with @AndrewHuang
