Description: Bluesy song. Amy Winehouse was my inspiration for the lyrics and the universal theme of going through a tough time when young and not getting much sympathy. Down in your cups’ in tarot means down on your luck or colloquial for meaning…well, you know. Hanged man standing up is a warning against needless sacrifice for love.

Project brief: Just a song sketch, lyrics provide reference for song structure and new and improved lyrics to what I recorded. I’m open to other people’s music interpretation of the song production, maybe build it up more? Personally, I like the pared down Motown style and chords as are but it’s in need of a tidy. I think it works without a bass guitar, interested to know what others think. I want the paper turning sound at the start to stay, I’d just written a question to myself ‘what would Amy write for this tune?‘ and the song just came out of nowhere. Song requires: Producers: Mastering/mixing needed. Especially need a time fix and some spaces to let the song breathe. Pianist: Jazzy piano bits here and there. I’ve had a go and it sounds awful, I’ve added it to give a rough idea. Lyricists: any better ideas for the line ‘I blame those who boo’d then mourned your hearse’ I think this is too on the nose. I’d like something that’s more universal about how people are hypocrites, esp regarding mocking mental illness. Any other lyric tips much appreciated. many thanks!
