Pay Attention

from Guest House by PAWL

/

  • Streaming + Download

    Piano/Rhodes driven indie pop; with guitars, violins, and driving percussion. PAWL would describe it as "cinematic pop" -- songs that tell stories and are, at once, catchy, fun, and at times, serious- but never whiny. Arrangement inspired as much by indie pop/rock as Burt Bacharach, Guest House doesn't try to copy the newest trends in independent or popular music; it delivers its own unique combination of classic and modern sounds. PAWL's songwriting draws inspiration from all over the map: from the late Johnny Cash, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake -- to modern artists such as the Sea and Cake, Beck, Spoon, and Broken Social Scene. For the price of an extra fancy coffee, buy this album- you won't be disappointed.

lyrics

It’s hard to pay attention
when you’re running someone else's race.
Man put you down,
Put you in your place

I can see you down by the riverside…
Might jump in
you got the look in your eye

I really want to know…
Is it easy to let go?
Living on skid row
With no tomorrow

Ba da da etc.

So you had a motive…
One shot to steal a hundred grand;
You tried the glove,
Didn’t fit your hand

And in a darkened room of cherry wood
You cast off, I hope she understood

but…
I really want to know…
Is it easy to let go?
Your spirit alone;
It had it’s own glow

Who of us,
Can make your body breathe for once?
Who of us?
Never know, never reach for healing touch.

Did I fail to mention
You’re being held down with weights
On the ground,
the thought escapes

The moon is shining bright tonight
Feeling young,
It’s time to start a fight.

but…
I really want to know…
Is it easy to let go?
Living on skid row
With no tomorrow
