Name: My Mind Playing Tricks
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: My Mind Playing Tricks was written on February 9th. Sometimes when I sit down to write a song and I lack inspiration, I think: Well, what haven’t I tried yet? And sometimes I then try some new chords I haven’t worked with before, or think up a new lyrical theme, but this time I ended up trying a new time signature. Welcome to the world of 13/8.

lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I
Go through the motions, but
That’s just my mind playing tricks.

Really it’s all about my
Choices in life, I just
Need to do what gives me the kicks.

Remember that it matters not,
How Big or small your project is,
’Cause Any building needs its starting bricks.

It’s all about believing,
And putting it to the test.
It’s time to do some living.

So rest assured, I will come
And take your hand, if you need it,
So let go of all your worries my friend.

One step at a time and you’ll
Discover you’ll be fine, and that
Everything will work out in the end.

Remember that it’s just a matter of
Investing all your energy
In your project and your time will be well spent.

It’s all about believing,
And putting it to the test.
It’s time to do some living.

Sometimes I feel like I
Go through the motions, but
That’s just my mind playing tricks.
