darling

the title track of the record, and the reason the record exists. all of this track musically and lyrically came from the sample used in the hook, taken from suspended in gaffa by kate bush, just heavily warped. the sample seemed to form a whole new series of words from its new form, and from that the rest of the track came together. like many songs on this record, it started as a loop of just the hook, and then the rest of the track was built around it. i couldn't tell you why the end of the song turns into some metalcore shit, nor what is actually sung (screamed?), i guess thats just how i was feelin.

lyrics::

i'm in love with someone who doesn't exist
it's a bitch but i know i can bear it
take your pin, stick it in, stain me to my skin
it's your mark, i promise i'll wear it
i'm in love with someone who doesn't exist
but for now i guess it'll do
in love with the right one, or maybe the wrong
i don't know the difference between the two
but you

i've loved so i'll live and learn
be my darling
i've loved so i'll let it burn
be my darling

oh lord i'm vexed
quite simply perplexed
please explain to me
this ironic remedy
there has to be a reason
there always is a reason for these things
oh, but it stings

i want me a lover that doesn't exist
i want me a love that doesn't exist
i need me a love that doesn't exist
please find me a love

i've loved so i'll live and learn
be my darling
i've loved so i'll let it burn
be my darling
