You are music to my ears
Can take away or bring me to tears
You inspire me with all that you do
And I wanna try something new
And suddenly I'm whirling
Everything is sound
I am crushed, I am falling, I am spinning around
All balance is lost but my soul has been found
You make me wanna write a new song
Make me want to dance with abandon
Feeling alive in a new way but all I can be is brave
Try to be brave
And suddenly I'm whirling
Everything is sound
I am crushed, I am falling, I am spinning around
All balance is lost but my soul has been found
This is a song I wrote that could be interpreted either as a straightforward love song, or about seeing a really cool band, moshing, and being inspired to pursue music. I wrote the chorus as an accurate (if poetic) description of how the moshpit felt at an Apes of the State/Doom Scroll Show I attended in early 2024. It wasn't the first time I moshed but it was one of the first few times, and it was a transcendent experience.
