about
In keeping with the intended vinyl listening experience for a digital format, 'C Side Volume 6 - Fading Shadows - Side 2' acts digitally as a vinyl or tape recording would behave on your favourite old school player.
Side 1 track listing:
5. Every Rainbow
When you tried your best and it wasn't enough, and a long-standing internal enemy starts up a negative dialogue almost impossible to ignore, rainbows become incredibly important. During such times, every day becomes an ongoing struggle just to smile, to step forward and keep moving. The song also doubles as a sly tribute to a beautiful place called Rainbow Beach. 'Every Rainbow' was written in 2015 and released as a C Side in 2016.
6. Miss My Miss
The music of 'Miss My Miss' was inspired by, and is a garage tribute to the great shoegaze bands. The track is a personal recollection of the words people say behind your back. Penned in 2014, 'Miss My Miss' stayed in the bedroom until its online release in 2016.
7. Shelter
'Shelter' is a memoir encased in poetic device, telling of two lovers who short for perfection but missed the romantic mark. Placing melancholy and affection as a physical backdrop, the story describes a belief in exponential and absolute love ranged against material dreams. The question lingers, can we love each other equally? Are our desires more important than self-sacrifice for those we claim to love? When we act selfishly in the face of love, will our dreams bring us comfort? 'Shelter' features performance on an antique Hofner acoustic no longer in existence. Written for a lover in 2010, the track remained a bedroom song due to band rejection until its online release in 2012.
lyrics
5. EVERY RAINBOW
Clap your hands as the story is ending
Come on out come on out tell me what I missed
Will the fires in the night show me where to go
And the streetlights as I walk overload
There's a mountain in my distance
I'm never gonna scale it I'm too chicken
Tell me now was my heart too wholesome
Did I give it too much to the wrong one
Is every rainbow
Grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
And every rainbow
Is grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
All my love died out in tomorrow
Tomorrow tomorrow
Hear the voice on the end of the line click
Quiet now quiet now got to hear this
We deny for the future there's another way
Got you back over now but you won't stay
In the vines and roses waiting
Cage of clay sits slowly ageing
Almost killed myself to be the one worthy
Now I'm the mountain and you're the journey
Not every rainbow
Is grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
Not every rainbow
Is grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
All my love died out in tomorrow
Feels tomorrow
Feels tomorrow
Fields of tomorrow
Fields of tomorrow
Not every rainbow
Is grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
And every rainbow
Is grey now grey now
Hey now hey now hey now hey now
Your love don't have to die out in tomorrow
6. MISS MY MISS
You said you loved me
Then stuck the knife in
Maybe I deserved that
I said I loved you
Then went on right through
Behind your back
You said you missed me
Then spent our anniversary
With another man
I would have loved you
But my brain was missing a screw
Never got that helping hand
Will you think of me
When everybody
Says it's for the best
Well I miss my Miss
Will you think of me
Will everybody
Smile and follow fate
Say I can't manipulate you
Anymore
You cry for recall
Say nobody should know
But everyone hears my sin
I'm confrontational
Emotional unreasonable
A big mouth to stick my foot in
So it's pretty fucking easy
To make me feel uneasy
To blame and shame me quietly
Will all your friends and family
Think of me
When everybody
Says it's for the best
Well I miss my Miss
Will you think of me
When everybody
Smile and follows fate
Says he can't manipulate you
Anymore
No one is to blame my dear
No one is to blame my dear
No one is to blame my dear
Why the fuck is simple pain
So hard for people to explain
Will you think of me
When everybody
Says it's for the best
Well I miss my Miss
Will you think of me
When everybody
Smile and follows fate
Says he can't manipulate you
Anymore
7. SHELTER
There's a crimson cloud in the sky
And it 's waiting for somewhere else to cry
Does it surprise we're one with the sky
Does it shock you it's one with our lives
Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter
Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you sigh
As we die
Say we're crazy
Tonight
Into your fire
Into this pyre
I will place my soul
Entire
You won't cry
You won't sigh
Just say I'm crazy
Say goodbye
Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter
There's a rainstorm a cliche brace
For we who stand here to wash and stain the face
Could we confide in water's falling grace
Could we decide in fire there's no trace
Did your dreams
Bring you shelter
Did your dreams
Give you shelter
Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you sigh
As we die
Say we're crazy
Tonight
Into your fire
Into this pyre
I will place my soul
Entire
You won't cry
You won't sigh
Just say I'm crazy
Say goodbye
Will you sigh
Will you cry
As I place my heart and hands
Inside
Will you smile
As we cry
Say I'm crazy
Say goodbye
