about

This is a song about unrequited love. Eventually, I was looking at making slower, more stripped-down songs. This is the second of two attempts at recording this song. Just voice and acoustic guitar from Summer 2015.

lyrics

Love on hold
And love for sale
I tried to find you
Of course I failed
(REPEAT)

I wanted to love you
Like there's no one else
But I was surrounded
By the ringing of bells

Love on hold
I can't complain
My dreams are so good
They're driving me insane
(REPEAT)

I wanted to help you
But his hands were too fast
And I burned dark candles
And dug up the past
(REPEAT)

Love on hold
And love so bright
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
(REPEAT)

Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right
Everything's messy
And that has to be all right.

Dangerous, obsessive love remembered in horrifying detail. The end is nigh and this band is playing its soundtrack. Shimmer Demolition

Isolator
by Cygnets

Cygnets sound like Morrissey fronting Joy Division at a dirty discotheque. These are powerful songs that will make you want to dance wildly and sing along. Shimmer Demolition

Rainy Day [EP]
by The Owls

Exhilarating, unpredictable, bold rock music from Newcastle, NSW. The Owls sound like QOTSA and Custard had a sonic lovechild. This is Australia's most promising rock 'n' roll export! Shimmer Demolition
