about

I was actually drunk when I wrote this song, which probably explains the mixture of brutal honesty and Star Trek references in the lyrics. I got back from the pub and picked up my guitar and all these feelings started pouring out. This song is about ‘eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’ feeling of wanting to erase someone from your memory, because sometimes life gets so messy you can’t figure out another way to get over somebody. The tempo kicks up in the choruses, and that’s when the thumping drums and spacey guitars kick in. The phrase ‘beam me up Scotty’ is one my Dad uses whenever something goes wrong, and I wanted to use it to represent that feeling of wanting to be taken totally out of a situation. This song was influenced by the alien-esque imagery of Bowie, and I had fun bringing in different musical influences- the drums are quite indie disco, and the backing vocal harmonies have this fun 80s power pop vibe. We added a bunch of ‘alien’ sounds on the guitars, and the mega guitar solo at the end is one of the funnest things ever to play live.

lyrics

I guess you could say that I’m angry
I guess you could say that you hurt me
I followed you blindly, left the earth behind me
Left me trying to breathe without air
But if I’m honest I didn’t care
About the repercussions of almost anything back then

Cause back then you were the key I sang my songs to, yeah
Back then you were the one my heart belonged to, yeah

Beam me up, beam me up Scotty
Take me back to before you met me
Its gonna hurt a lot
But beam me up Scotty
And I’ll forget you, if you let me

I guess you could argue I hurt you
But I was playing your game and you wrote the rules
Lit a match and then you threw
And I’m sorry it burned you too
Guess it’s fair to say I’m pretty scared
Of the power you hold just standing there
Sunlight in your hair

Cause back then you were the key I sang my songs to, yeah
Back then you were the one my heart belonged to, yeah

Beam me up, beam me up Scotty
Take me back to before you met me
Its gonna hurt a lot
But beam me up Scotty
And I’ll forget you, if you let me

Falling through the stars no this aint the way I planned it
Death by broken heart on your alien planet
Falling through the stars no this aint the way I planned it
I planned it

Beam me up, beam me up Scotty
Take me back to before you met me
Its gonna hurt a lot
But beam me up Scotty
And I’ll forget you, if you let me

And I’ll forget you, Scotty

Drawing on her love of grunge rock and indie pop she wrote songs about past loves, new loves and future loves; basically, all about loves, this is pop music after all… ... more
