It's The Times

(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.

She walked out on the tightrope Dancin' for the right folk Lifted her chin and planted her feet Ventriloquism alumni Ida wants a piece of the pie She plays the fool just to make ends meet It's a weary world on the soul Of a righteous woman, ooh But sometimes the house plays unfair With the dealer too Sometimes it's Ida Sue Shielded by a drenched coat Stood in place and formed a moat No way they're getting to her now Got in a car and sailed the monsoon Thought she heard a familiar tune Poor Ida sees they've gotten her, oh how? It's a dreary world, one rather old Poor Ida knows Everybody leaves bought and sold Follow the code Cause baby it's cold... Oh Ida, it's gonna be cold tonight

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.

Starting again

By Bob Boyes

The lyric is about two lovers that have been together for a long time, they have had a lot of love between them, but as the years have gone by, they have slowly, started to drift and fall out of love, for no reason in particular. But do remain good friends - with the prospect of starting again on their own.
