Holly's Reprise

(Hayden Coil)

A man long ago lost the one he loved, and is now confronted with a reanimated version of her, demanding payment for a deal he made long ago on that fateful night. Holly, or this pale, walking imitation of her, is not the young, naive girl he fell in love with. Now he's the naive one, and soon...he won't be anyone. Perhaps she should have been more precise in his wording, perhaps he should have let her go.

A ghostly visage bends the light
I step inside confronting fright
I lend to your expansive sight
The memory of one tragic night

The bells chime until I cry
Your siren call a gale of sighs
Believe me, believe i did try
You slipped away but so did I

(Chorus)
Seventeen, a woman i mean
Into the creeping abyss I lean
One might say the price was steep
Bring me the cliff I'll make the leap

Oh Holly it was not so jolly
I took some pills and it killed the pain
I held you close for three whole days
If I'd lose you I'd want the same

I called upon the moon and stars
The sun, my light, would I do trade
The Earth, my love, for you, be brave
Five years since the deal was made

(Chorus repeated)

Lock me in your crystal gaze
I feel my life blood escape
Contorted and your mouth agape
Feel I've made my last mistake

Oh Holly it's not so jolly
Oh Holly it's not so jolly

Stasis Squalor

By Hayden Coil

A man gets surprisingly good news from a trip to his doctor, and realizes he has reason for hope. He doesn't rightly know what to do with this information and begins to contemplate a brighter future for himself, while simultaneously drawing back from it due to an established comfort with his much developed, brooding nature. By the end of the song is he deciding to finally think positively and change his life for the better? Is he finding himself too far gone, disillusioned and contemplating suicide? It's ambiguous, and it's whatever you feel is apt for you in the moment.

It's The Times

By Hayden Coil

A socially conscious, iconoclast tale of a tragic heroin, Ida Sue, who in the beginning of the seemingly hopeful tune believes she's the one calling the shots, before finding out they've been playing a more secret, devious game. It's a song about a tired, sexist system that aches for change, but that change is not going to come easy. It's the times, but as another world weary soul once prophetically said, The Times Are A-Changin'. And They indeed are, but not nearly fast enough for poor Ida Sue.

None Of A Kind

By Hayden Coil

A rumination on the damage down to others unwillingly by one's own hand. It's about feeling like you're a walking cancer, feeling like you're not worth anything. At it's essentials, and it is essentially a simple, minimalist song, it's about self-doubt. Although don't grab you're tissues just yet, it ends with a glimmer of hope. A attempt to balance pessimism with optimism for a healthier psychological beverage, ready for intake.

Haunt

By Hayden Coil

This song is a downtrodden, heart wrenching tale of losing someone you deeply loved for years, who once shared your bed but now haunts it. A meditation on the mental effects of grief, think Mount Eerie's A Crow Looked At Me. It is also a reflection of the narrator as much as it is a reflection on their relationship. Like the way losing one you consider your "better half" can make you want to stare in a mirror for a time, checking to see if you're still all there. The part where is reads "Sorry Charlie" is an obvious reference to Charlie Sheen's "Tiger Blood" era, commenting on another form of mental disorder altogether and admitting to the lack of energy or fortitude to deal with these things(the haunt) with similar gusto. This song probably won't make for easy listening, but you perhaps could forge a somber piano ballad out of it, with muffled or bluesy guitar sections separating the verses, and it would probably help if you can really sell the vocal delivery in a personal, intimate way. Or use a good deal of reverb, emphasizing the distanced, alienated place that the narrator's head is at. But that's just are off the cuff suggestion. This is the kind of song written not out of artistic ambition per se, but an extreme need to exorcise the demons of a tormented psyche. I hope you find something in it that moves you, albeit in a gentler way.

Every May

By Peter Lastima

The narrator loves all the year round. His girl, on the other hand, migrates like the wild geese, flying away every spring.
