It's about people that make you feel like you're going crazy. It's called Gaslighting.

I kind of love it. I hope you do too.

edit: Song is also here on Soundcloud.

Hey, Aaro, just letting you know that you've entered in your lyrics a li'l bit incorrectly in the details section on that site.

As per the highlighted word below, in the song you're singing it as "better" each time, rather than "brighter."


I don't listen on the phone
to you whine
You came now there's something wrong
since the first time you came there's been something wrong
and the sun always shines brighter
I don't listen on the phone
to you whine

That cover art is cold as gently caress. Also kind and of gross IMO. Good song.

Also, what if you put some bass under the piano like on Fiona Apple's first album? You know what I'm saying? Dig it.

I messed around with a bass but it sounded like poo poo. I gave up and released the song.

edit: There's a shortage of public domain images images to work with. I kinda love this picture though. I was looking for a picture of a boy in distress. I think it kinda goes perfectly with the lyrics. Almost like he's been driven to shooting up china white because of people loving with him. Or maybe he's just sick. Either way it works.

No problem, Aaro. :)

I think I only noticed it because the line seemed too short to me, like as if it had been cut and missing its other part. As you were singing I found myself changing it to...

Since the first time you came there's been something wrong
The sky always seems brighter when you're gone
I don't listen on the phone to you whine
I'd much rather have the sun shine


And then I found myself writing more verses in my head as you sang 'coz there are far too few words, too repetitive for a 4+ minute song, than just those three sentences that you have there, for my liking. But then I found myself wanting to cut out the auto-tune to let your voice come through more, as well as cut out most all of the synthesizers and repeat/echoes going on for the same reason - to hear your voice and let it shine through instead of all the too-busy synth tricks being so dominant throughout.

It was about then that it occurred to me that I was changing your whole song, your whole song which you "kind of love" exactly how it is, and I guess I just don't much like that particular style (or maybe how you've done it) very much... lol and so told myself to just shut my mouth, to not say a word about me not liking your song, and risk maybe bumming you out a little when you love it.

And that's not to say that the song is "bad" or anything, I don't mean it like that - it's just not my thing and I don't dig it is all. And me not liking it doesn't matter, it's no big deal, other people obviously do like it as you can see. So, keep keeping on and being creative, Aaro... it's good for the soul. :D

People could say that about The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.


I think it's ok to be influenced by another band. I still wrote the song.

Not really my cup of tea. Have you considered doing a sort of black metal crossover thing instead?

I guess it is technically a song, yes. The rhythm is consistent; and while the melody may not be complex, it is interestingly never brought to completion.

I don't understand this comment. How is it never "brought to completion". It has a verse and a chorus. Buy unbanning so you can tell me what the hell you mean.
