about

I had been listening to a lot of indie folk artists around the time I wrote 'Try Coming Round', especially Joshua James. His use of high reverb helped set the tone for writing when, one day, I discovered a sound that set the wheels in motion for writing this song and 'You Never Knew Me' using my Roland Micro Cube amp. First recorded on an iPhone I had the amp leaning against a wall at one end of the room, then had my Takamine playing at the other end along with me singing. Hearing the real sound of the acoustic guitar up close yet with an effect coming from the amp really inspired me.

Try Coming Round is essentially a conversation between an optimist and a cynic.

lyrics

“Everybody's preaching at me what to say”
It ain't no mystery, you just got to pray
“What? For a better land or a better life?”
Yeah, well it was always there, why d'you give yourself so much strife?

Just try coming round, try coming round

“Everybody's searching for a different sound”
Just sing your tune though you don't think it's loud
“They think they see it all but they're really blind”
Well maybe they found what they're looking for but you're just too proud

To try coming round, try coming round

You say no one's there for you but I've tried to call
You say it's hard to pin you down
Then you say no one cares for you, no one really cares at all, hey…
You can't see the woods for the trees but you'll cry me a river
You try to save the air that you breathe; you say it won't last forever
You better learn what you need before it's too late


Try coming round, try coming round
Try coming round, hear the sound
Of a different time, you know can be found but

You're giving it this, you're taking that
You're wanting it all as a matter of fact
But I don't believe you've ever tried

Coming round
