about

This is an older tune that we’ve jammed live for a while now. It was demoed back in 2017. The new version is better for sure. It’s been hailed as the best song we’ve ever written by a few people I know. Not offended by that.

I wrote this song after watching the movie about Kurt Cobain called “montage of heck”. I really enjoyed it. There is a part in the movie where Kurt is holding his baby daughter and he’s nodding off from heroin, while his wife tries to wake him and care for his daughter. The lyrics tie to that and in general Nirvanas music. Hope you enjoy.

lyrics

Hope is a dream that means more to me
I'll fall asleep while holding you
Slow down and breathe in don't let her see you
But I'm over now should have stuck it out for you
Seems funny now how I'm fading out
Dope is a dream that pleases me
I'm way too weak to be over you
Slow down and breathe in don't let her see you
But I'm over now should have stuck it out
Seems funny now how I'm fading out
All we are is all we are is what he said
All we are is all we are is what he sang
Nodding off is
Nodding off is
Nodding off then
