Co-Pilot
Eric Novak feat. Isobelle 😁

Bridge co-written w/ Isobelle

I see the light out in the west is fading
The sun is running away
I’ve checked my levels and I’ve checked my gauges
I’m getting ready to leave

I don’t know when I’m coming back again
I don’t know what’s in the cards

I need a co-pilot, I need a co-pilot
I’ll help you fly this thing, help me fly this thing
I’ll take you on for this, take me on for this
I’ll be your co-pilot, be my co-pilot

It’s gotten late it’s getting dark baby
It’s getting harder to see
The time is here so I guess we’re ready
To find our way through the scene

You help me understand ā€˜lectricity
You help me see in the dark

I’ll be your co-pilot, be my co-pilot
I’ll help you fly this thing, help me fly this thing
I’ll take you on for this, take me on for this
I’ll be your co-pilot, be my co-pilot

I didn’t have in mind that I’d ever need to find a teammate to fly up high with
And should we ever part then I fear my tender heart would crash and break down in silence
But even in the dark you help me find the mark and the path into great adventure
I know it’s only you to find my way through the universe towards its center
To grow old with you is a great adventure let’s fly away

The runway’s under fire from falling stars
The sea explodes into steam
I’ve got the charts laid out to planet Mars
The time has come to take leave

I like the way you look in fiery light
The way it sparks in your eyes

I’ll be your co-pilot, be my co-pilot
I’ll help you fly this thing, help me fly this thing
I’ll take you on for this, take me on for this
I’ll be your co-pilot, be my co-pilot

Isobelle is great! I feel like I’m watching 120 minutes. Something Yo Le Tango about this. Mellow new wave. Please don’t do the silence thing again. Annoying! I’ve done it too, I know how it happens. Did someone mention Funky Town? When that rhythm guitar hits Dum dee Dum, I want to ask ā€œwon’t you take me to….ā€. Fun song!

this is extremely charming, I love the mix of the funky guitars and the kinda lo-fi indie-rock sound and the guest vocal does a great job. The bits where you layer in your own voice are really effective and that chorus stuck in my head. There are some sloppy bits performance-wise, especially the guitar on the bridge, but this is the right kind of song to get away with it, they ended up making me smile instead of bugging me. I even quite enjoyed the couple of minutes of silence at the end, it makes for a nice intermission when listening to these songs on repeat, haha.
