okay --- 1 down 13 to go?
Every day's a new adventure.
Ears
Ears
Ears to hear the sounds all around
Wearing us down to the ground
And the noise
Noise
So much noise we can’t drown it out
by screaming out loud
Maybe if I was deaf to the world
Beethoven pounding at the keys
Maybe if I didn’t have the ears
I wouldn’t hear your crying
I wouldn’t hear your crying
What is left
What is left
After you kids tear it up
Tear it up six ways from Sunday?
If only you could focus for a little more
Than 8.4 seconds
But you go on and wreck it
Go on and wreck it
Build
Build and rebuild
Try
Try and retry
Maybe if I didn’t have the ears
I wouldn’t hear your crying

Ahh wow that guitar! That first note! And your voice! Such control. Well done, this is really really good.
@darcistrutt Feb 2022
Beautiful. The slow down at the end of the "crying" line gave it rich emotion. Nice strumming.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Soulful performance. Your voice and guitar match really nicely.
@mikedebenham Feb 2022
Good to have you back, Izaak. Great use of dynamics - particularly enjoyed those little bursts of full-throated major chord strumming. Very nice.
@bandybum Feb 2022
Love the rundown intro. And on landing it's almost Radiohead eerie. Love those chord changes. Beautiful, honest, passionate deliver
A true pleasure thank you!
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write! The chimes and near rhymes grab *my* ears,. The big dynamic jumps fit the lyric perfectly.
@zebraphone Feb 2022
What a beautiful melody!!!!!!!!! And chord supplement. Yummy!
@vomvorton Feb 2022
8.4 seconds! How deliciously specific. Excellent stuff here, love the dynamics - really showing how a voice+guitar recording can shift and build momentum.
@hoppiern Feb 2022
Wow, this is really good! Love the melody and chord choices and where the lyrics venture. Excellent performance too - great job all around!!
