Searching for the words: it's the worst.

Made using Loopy, a handy little iPhone app. Which comes with the caveat that, well, it's a song I recorded on my cell phone, so there is background noise and wonky levels.

The title of the song is the bus stop in Silver Spring, MD where I was sitting when I wrote the accompaniment.

Lyrics:
Searching for the words, it's the worst
When you're running out of lines
And the time keeps getting later
I've been waiting here for hours, nothing to say

Running out of lines would be fine
If I didn't have a point
Now this joint is getting crowded
There's nobody else around here, no one but me

I don't want to rush my reason
Waiting for a perfect season
Hold me here, I'll hold my note for you

Searching for the words, it's the worst
When you're running out of time
And your lines are getting stranger
But then I've always been a strange one, wouldn't you say?

Running out of time's not a crime
But I hate to show up late
When my fate is undetermined
No one's here to read my fortune, nothing's for free

I don't want to rush my reason
Waiting for a perfect season
Hold me here, I'll hold my note for you

Searching for the words, it's the worst
When you're running out of air
And what's there's no good for breathing
Maybe breathing's overrated, that's what they say

I don't want to rush my reason
Waiting for a perfect season
Hold me here, I'll hold my note for you (x2)

This is so great. The levels sound just right on my laptop speakers for the feeling of this song. This combined with your Sheap Beat song really makes me want to hear more. You seem to have a real talent for these background loop harmonies.
