Casey and I decided to deliberately write a "twee" anthem as a joke. We wrote deliberately, overtly poetic lines that would make even the most literate connoisseurs of poetry roll their eyes. What we wound up with was a song that was actually really good. The light guitars, the mandolin, ukulele combination, along with the piano accents are the perfect frame for the three part harmony that I feel we executed quite well.
lyrics:
We could be a whisper
We could be an opera
We could be the ocean
We could be the standing stones
We could be horizons
We could be so cavalier
We could run for office
We could run from all our fears
And when they fall on their face
We'll be running wild
All this time and triumph
All that eddies in your hair
All the magic potions
that were poured into your ear
Could not find the rhythm
Could not find your common sense
Could not be the lever
that could pry me from your fence
And when they fall on their face
We'll be running wild
Nobody's fate was sealed anymore
And when they fall on their face
We'll still be running wild
Nobody's fate was sealed anymoremore
