Wealth

I wrote this song late the other night in a fit of inspiration. Like a lot of songs I write, I had just spent about 2 hours writing a piece of crap that ended up sounding like something else. I should stop writing late at night. I'm losing sleep.

Wealth by olidevlin

As a matter of fact this is the single most intellectual lyric I've written, stemming from a thought I had about extremely driven, successful people; perfectionists; and the irony that their uber-success could possibly be hidden to them, but nonetheless fuelled by a massive lack of self-esteem, or a sense of inadequacy or whatever. A comforting thought for us plebs that success must come with a cost, or is only an attractive concept from the outside.

more to come, including work by my digital alter-ego "Sponge"

  2. Woah, I got a comment! thanks steven! I have since realised it is probably a bit overthought, and dense. But yeah, could fit well on a soundtrack somewhere.
