about

This has been kicking around for a while - and has been recorded in many forms - but lockdown and some new samples gave me the kick to get it finished. Ed mixed it beautifully using an emulator which makes it feel like an old fashioned 8-track.

lyrics

What’s so wrong with being forgotten when you’re gone?
What’s so wrong with moving things along?
If I was a bird I’d die unwritten by the passing sky
What’s so wrong with being forgotten when you’re gone?

What’s so wrong with being forgotten when you’re gone?
What’s so wrong with moving things along?
If I was a tree I’d fall unsung, unspoken by them all
What’s so wrong with being forgotten when you’re gone?

While there’s still some light to guide your way
While there’s still some heat to feel
Burn this fire out like a memory
And when it fades away just let it fade away

Tell me what’s to gain from legacy?
Apart from not repeating these mistakes
But then I’ve had a lot of fun just doing what i shouldn’t have done
Maybe that’s the point of legacy

While there’s still some light to guide your way
While there’s still some heat to feel
Burn this fire out like a memory
And when it fades away just let it fade away

Write it down and chuck it in the sea
Press record and smash to smithereens
When I’m gone you’ll have the things you need to mourn in memories
And when it’s done forget me and I’m gone

While there’s still some light to guide your way
While there’s still some heat to feel
Burn this fire out like a memory
And when it fades away just let it fade away
