Hi everyone!

Happy New Year to all here.

I would really appreciate a listen to my new song 'The Writing's on the Wall' if you have a few minutes or some feedback if you're feeling very generous with your time.

It is inspired by the increasing control of people and their actions by the 'powers that be'. For different people this may be different powers but the message is still the same: We should fight back against being entirely controlled every second of the day.

The chorus deals with the fact that we are taking constant updates in surveillance and observation for granted. Will it get to a stage where we don't notice when it has gone too far? Has it gone too far already?

I hope you enjoy it!

Here are the lyrics:

We're following their orders,
Without a second thought.
There's no guns or bombs or soldiers,
It's our freedom that's being fought.

We live in an illusion.
We're watched more than before.
Their bullets are confusion,
In this battle in this war.


CHORUS
But who's to say we'll notice,
When the writing's on the wall?
Who's to say,
We'll notice anything at all?


We're not marching to a drum,
It's to an orchestra instead.
You must be sure to let them hear,
The thoughts inside your head.

With omnipresent armies,
They're wrestling control.
Good luck hiding yourself away,
Before they take your soul.


CHORUS
But who's to say we'll notice,
When the writing's on the wall?
Who's to say,
We'll notice anything at all?

BRIDGE
We look towards a future,
Reminiscent of the past.
We fight to get our freedom,
Then that freedom doesn't last.


Let's set ourselves for battle,
Revolution has begun.
We should be proud to tell ourselves,
It's about time that we won.


CHORUS (x2)
They thought we'd never notice,
That the writing's on the wall.
Little did they know,
We'd see it all.
 
PT Cruiser-

I love the E-major chord in the second section (about a quarter of the way through).

It is a refreshing break away from the key signature of C-major, which you are in.

Things get even more interesting when you move to A-major a little later in the song... I will have to give this another listen at some point.

Great work my friend!
