Nick Soma - Pareidolia

Field recording of birdsong (intro and outro) and noises at the Linz, Austria train station including a train arriving at the station (bridge/guitar solo)

Even as a child
They were always with me
They are in my sight
Everywhere I go
I can't look away
Gotta inspect the structure
And before too long
A face is gonna show

Too late to undo it now
I have to live with it somehow

I see a face in everything around
In every tree and house they can be found

And when I hear the breeze
It seems to whisper to me
And the rustling leaves
They seem to speak
Every sight and sound
Is oddly familiar
It's been getting worse
And the outlook's bleak

Sometimes it's hard for me to bear
To perceive what isn't there

I see a face in everything around
In every wall and cloud they can be found
I hear my name in every little sound
They're gonna haunt me right into the ground

Sometimes it's hard for me to bear
To perceive what isn't there

Pareidolia (x 4)

I see a face in everything around
In every tree and house they can be found
They call out my name with every little sound
They're gonna haunt me right into the ground
In everything around they can be found

Pareidolia (x 4)

Not bad, I guess. If you like the vague country-meets-"the Housemartins/Wonderstuff" vibe, which I don't. But that's not your fault as a) only i know what i'm talking about in this instance and b) you do it well.

Let me guess, bird sounds? Yup, bird sounds. I like the organ part a lot. Yet another song that grows on me a little bit as I listen. I like the bass but it might be just a hair unbalanced in the verse bits. There's something about that guitar on the right side that seems out of tune.. or something. Like one note when it hits. (Did you remember to tune your G string?) The hi hat on the right side is slightly annoying on repeated listens.
