I recorded The Spider Song last night. The lyrics are about a big spider I see during my smoke breaks at work. He lives in a hole in the wooden fence. I was feeling down the other day, and as I looked at him, I thought it would be nice to crawl inside a dark hole sometimes. You can tell I’m reading the lyrics (I still messed up but nvm) and I forgot to repeat the riff at the end. It’s quite hard to sing and play fretless bass at the same time so this will do for now. There’s a ton of reverb and chorus and other effects, I also added lower and higher harmonies in the chorus because it felt a bit bare without them.
When I’m on a smoke break
And look at my friend
I wonder if his life too
Might be coming to an end
Does his tube-shaped heart weigh much
Mine is bursting from the strain
Cause I gave it with such ease
To the ones I’ve loved in vain
Oh to be you
Can I crawl inside
Please take me home
I’ll come in disguise
We look alike
I’m ugly as sin
Safe in your hole
Bite marks on my skin
Wish I had as many eyes
Picking preys must be a breeze
I’m too sensitive for games
It’s all part of my disease
In a sea of legs, caught in webs
Must be doing something right
“Can you teach me some good tricks,
fellow creature of the night?“
Oh to be with you
Can I crawl inside
Please take me home
I’ll come in disguise
We look alike
You’re ugly as sin
Lost in your hole
I end and begin
Oh to be you
Please take me home
To be like you
I’ll be with you
