Trash Violin

from Grey Meadows by Jimmy Sky

about

'Trash Violin' was written on the spot while performing to a handycam in 2015. A wistful recollection of love, betrayal and catharsis following a prophetic dream regarding a loved one and a famous person. The original live recording was made during a bout of illness.

The second instalment of 'Grey Meadows', an upcoming lo-fi release.

Lyrics:

All I get to hear my dear
Is how happy you are
Your voice seems frail with fear
Say how difficult it was to throw me out

Like trash with a violin
Like trash with a violin

With every word you speak
It seems you're glittering like summer gold
You look at me and what you see
My works are wandering but mostly getting old

Like trash with a violin
Like trash with a violin

Somewhere deep inside you hide a truth
It boils like oil upon a setting sun
You blame me to my face disgraced I do the same
But mostly we just miss the fun

Like leaves on a dying wind
Like leaves on a dying wind

I can't hate on anyone for very long
Least of all not you my dear
The wish we have is end the fear
For all your joy this little boy recalls
The fall from grace your face would bring to me
A golden hollow meant to be

Now I'm whispering
Now I'm whispering
Like trash with a violin
Like trash with a violin
Like trash with a violin
Like trash with a violin
