Story Behind The Song

I was working on some oil paintings, and sat down to my computer for a break. I heard a flash of a chorus line "Fade To Simpler Times", and I opened up my favorite DAW, Logic, and went to work. The song practically wrote itself after that.

Song Description

This is a song reflecting the state of the people of America in this modern climate. People are getting seriously sick, and sick and tired of the status quo. The artist suggests it would be best to "fade (back) to simpler times."

Lyrics

SIMPLER TIMES by EBENLO

Last night I lay in bed
How thoughts swirl in my head
The symptoms came on quick
Oh man I feel so sick

I'm turning off the news
Lest I writhe in constant blues
Just shut out all the goons
Go ahead turn on the tunes

This soul has long been leery
Don't want conspiracy theory
So many pearls I've been fed
Can't recall what you just said

CHORUS

Gonna do it up
Gonna be sublime
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Gonna fill my cup
Gonna feel so fine
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Be all you can be
Hold close your family
Keep my love next to me
Carve our names on a tree

Life's a journey not a race
Here now look me in my face
Even though I'm feelin spry
May I have humble eyes

CHORUS

Gonna do it up
Gonna be sublime
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Gonna fill my cup
Gonna feel so fine
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Gonna do it up
Gonna be sublime
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Gonna fill my cup
I feel so fine
Don't need to touch it up
Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES

Gonna fade to SIMPLER TIMES
Fade to SIMPLER TIMES
Fade to SIMPLER TIMES
