Spintunes: Colors

Admittedly, not the song I would have liked to submit, but my schedule only gave me about a day to put it all together. I would have liked to add an extra verse, maybe a variation of lyrics and a more distinct chorus. And, yeah, a better mix.

Also, I realize don't get too deep with the color theme... but then neither does Hendrix in "Purple Haze," which was one of the examples Spintunes provided. (Not in any way comparing myself to Hendrix, although we are pretty much of equal talent).

Hoping I can squeak into the second round.

lyrics

Gin black daze
Remember me
She’s coming
It’s what I’m drinking
Gin black daze
They’re memories
They’re empty
It’s what I’m pouring

I never saw it get away from me
Spending all those countless hours
In sober company

Gin black daze
How can it be
She fills my cup and then
I can’t seem to remember anything
Gin black daze
It’s company
When she leaves
The morning coming

I never saw it get away from me
Spending all those countless hours
In sober company

Every little sip is a trip
that I can do without
