A song that suddenly wanted to come out, while I was playing around with some bass lines. The tune and lyrics were made up on the spot and the song is pretty lo-fi and rough. But I like the mood. The words relate to some recent tragic events.
Story behind the song
I had been playing around with some flangered bass sound and suddenly there was a song on the way. I made up the tune and the lyrics line by line, thinking about what I had seen on the TV the last few days. It made me so sad...
Lyrics
Maybe there's a reason, but I don't know the reason for this.
Ooh, ooh, please tell me what it is.
How can someone justify, to let innocent people die,
they run and try to hide.
This time we should let them know,
they should just give up and go back home.
And live their lives.
Maybe there's a reason, but why do innocent people have to die?
I simply - don't understand why. Makes me cry.
Maybe there's a reason, but there's a thousand things that you could do (better things)
to get your message through.
And I'm fed up with being nice,
trying to understand your point of view.
It's not coming through.
There's no way you will persuade me,
everything you do just makes me sad.
Maybe there's a reason, but I don't see the reason any more.
I've given up. It's just too late.
Maybe there's a reason, But whatever twisted reason you may have.
I just don't care.
Maybe there was a reason. But I don't think you remember it any more.
What you're fighting for.
