So we didn't get too many contributions to our karaoke-video-thing. Bummer, but let's say we keep the idea-box open if any of you late bloomers want to give it a go :)
Meanwhile, the un-instrumental version of the video of very vibey stills from an old pastelly vacation of Henry Moore Selders (the director) is up now on all our channels for your enjoyment! And the lyric is there for you all to dig into!
Peter has a few things to say about this now that all the "Endless Dream"-tracks have their own clips;
"'Simple Song Of Sin' is sequenced perfectly. I think of the album in that it gives listeners a bit of a breather with its long dreamy-weave outro of echoey keys and layered twangy guitars. Even before that, it's kind of laid back and self-reflective in its soul-pop-psych-groove. Is that even a genre? The '3-instrument'-core here is based on bass and guitar playing a locked-in harmony-riff a'la 'Up against the wall,' on this record 'Music' and probably countless others?
A PBJ-trademark nicked by way of The Mg's and maybe New Order? We've probably overused the word 'melancholic,' but if 'Endless Reruns'
addressed late-summer ambiguity, this one is all about the full-on fall, which makes this text perfect right now. 'Autumn shape my senses sharp' indeed. We feel more pain when it's chilly outside, maybe? Or is it just bad clothes?
If we feel more and carry a skin too few, all the painful information of the world can be hard to process into sleepless nights. But it follows the theme of the record of TRYING in defiance to be POSITIVE.
Looking forward, onwards, upwards, shedding rusty old armors and make adjustments if needed, trying new things. Ah, well, that's it... hope you dig this track; we do!!"

LYRICS
Light is fading, winter is calling, summer is falling down
Autumn shape my senses sharp
Like I'm feeling, all of the people, all that is painful now
And it's making this so hard
What if the song I'm singing just pretends?
Wrapped around the finger of contempt
But I'm gonna change that tune
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
All the days that builds to a lifetime looks swell in hindsight but
Struggles in the present tense
Eyes wide open, all that you see can be hard to carry through
Into imagination
Shadows growing taller every night
Self-reflection smaller and uptight
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
When you're restless and easily upset it's hard
You forget to remember to forget
What if the song you're singing just pretends?
It's not even beginning and it never ends?
But I'm gonna change my tune
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice,
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearing thin It's my voice,
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
