| It was like this. I had a riff, a cool riff, a decent riff and nowhere to use it. I tried love songs, hate songs, songs about my room, my house, my friends, my girlfriend and drew, or rather sang, a blank. Then I got really angry at school one day. I mean REALLY angry. I don't even remember why. I just felt that I had a really bad day, so I sat on my bed, punched a wall and reached for my pen, paper and lighter. On the paper I wrote this: "This is me This is everything I stand for Everything I am This is every connection I have had or will ever have with anyone I love or hate This is every game I have ever played Every lie I've ever told Every person I've hurt Every misdeed I have don This is me" I then rolled a joint. Reaching for my lighter to light the spliff with I had an idea and burnt the paper. It's pinned to my wall now as a reminder of the bad moods I get in, and how to avoid them. Having smoked myself the joint I started playing that riff again, looked at the paper and inspiration struck. The title? Conjugation refers to the "You, Me" and "Us" parts and A minor - three guesses. The chorus has a little blasphemy in it, as does 'one song'. I don't mean to offend anyone, least of all God. I want to make it clear that while I do not love God, I have no reason to hate him, or even believe he exists. Most of my lyrics are there simply because they sound good. Any message is either blindingly obvious or I've stated it in this web site. The last thing I want is to create controvesy, or have armies of Christians and Goths burn my guitar on a crucifix or in a pentagram. |
