Lyrics

Sinking

Verse 1
Tell me now where do we go from here
everytime we talk we hit a wall that we can't clear

push and pull a little bit harder
dig our heels a little bit deeper
going nowhere in the end

CHORUS:
SHOULD WE PULL THE PIN OR TRY TO BREATHE LIFE AGAIN
INTO THIS ONE THING THAT WE BOTH KNOW IS SINKING
ARE WE JUSTIFIED TO GIVE IT UP AND SAY WE TRIED
OR SHOULD WE FIGHT UNTIL THE END???

Verse 2
We've both seen better days I do agree
Sometimes survival seems like an immpossibility

we scratch our heads just trying to remember
some reason to keep it together
going nowhere in the end

CHORUS;
SHOULD WE PULL THE PIN OR TRY TO BREATHE LIFE AGAIN
INTO THIS ONE THING THAT WE BOTH KNOW IS SINKING
ARE WE JUSTIFIED TO GIVE IT UP AND SAY WE TRIED
OR SHOULD WE FIGHT UNTIL THE END

Bridge:
Cos everything that I ever did wrong you keep digging it up
just like a dog that's digging a bone that he won't
ever give up it's making me crazy

and everything that I'll ever do wrong you'll keep digging it up
just like a dog that's digging for bones that he won't
ever give up it's making me crazy

(to chorus)

pretty cool feel reminiscent of rock songs from 70-80 type era... sort of Pat Benatar or Crissie Hyndes

Strong vocals. I really like your voice a lot! Music is solid, lyrics are good. Solid rhythm. Song is really tight.

Really hot tune. Just this side of breaking through. Great vocals. I love the intro. Love the syncopation.

Very professional and well-written tune. Female vocalist puts me very much to mind of Alanis, and even reminds me of a song of hers. Very intelligent lyrics and nice arrangement. Conversions are all very smooth and effective.

The first thing that hits me is the great production, beautiful
The voice reference I had at first is Tori Amos (but then more guitar than piano :) )
Clever vocal melody over the verse chord progression
The modulation on the solo works very well and the continuation after in the modulation makes that you actually hardly notice the song went into it

Sounds a bit like No Doubt or alines morissette. I enjoyed it, a nice solid sound, sounds professional.

Great tune. Love the vocal performance and perfect instrumentation. The mix is clear and punchy and vocals blend well. I really enjoyed this song.

Great radio rock track here, reminds me of Pink or Kelly Clarkson which is obviously a very very good thing. The vocalist is excellent, great tone and mix between gravel in her voice and clarity of delivery.
Love the 'like a dog, diggin for bones' lyric here, the timing in the delivery is cool. Instrumentation is great, guitars, drums, keys, all work perfectly in the mix. Song ends at the perfect point too.
Great job!

I really enjoyed the song. It has a nice vibe to it and would have a great commercial appeal.

Like the feel!

Very professional sound. Cool arrangement.

Excellent singing. Very Allanah Miles. Cool lead solo. The intro reminds me of the Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians "What I am" track, but, then it's hard to be totally original. Good work.

Great work
tight and transparent arrangement. Nice changes to keep it lively.
love it!

Good tune. Really like the sound/quality that the lead vocals have. Very recognizable like Melissa Etheridge.

nice tight band feel, good lead vocal, overall good sound

Really good vocals which suit the style well, and with sharp snappy lyrics and interesting harmonies. Good groove and decent production. Like it!
