about

This song idea came about after hearing a late period Joni Mitchell album, which, looking back at it now, wasn't really bad, but it was bad enough at the time to be inspired to write a song about when inspiration dies.

lyrics

Are you missing the feeling
From the next generation they stopped with the mosh pit
You feel so important still but you're not, you're not

When the newness is gone pack it up and split
The moment you can 'cause it won't get any better
While you're ahead do us all a favor and turn your insight off
When the music is gone don't get all upset
And act like you would if you never had suspected
Battle ahead they've taken all the mics away but dance while you still can

When the newness is gone you should take the straight shot out
You found the answer now but turned it inside out
You've got the bucket brigade together bailing you out
It's a shame but they ain't got long
When the melody howls in a sufficient attempt
To turn a woeful go to a resentful went
Is it a holy disaster your direction is spent is it pain to be lost and gone

When the newness is gone how can you placate
The masses of unsuspecting people you've been calling
Reticent now they won't be so complacent when you belt the first note out
With the mystery gone can you keep afloat
In the wake of a hope that you knew to be in passing
Be glad what you had
The shining light around you has a switch to turn it off
When the newness is gone you say later could be better but I'd hate to wait that long

When the newness is gone you should take the straight shot out
You found the answer now but turned it inside out
You've got the bucket brigade together bailing you out
It's a shame but they ain't got long
When the melody howls in a sufficient attempt
To turn a woeful go to a resentful went
Is it a holy disaster your direction is spent is it pain to be lost and gone

When the newness is gone
You say later could be better but I'd hate to wait that long
