This was the week 22 track in "Songs for Oprah" and was inspired by the sounds of the bands Explosions In the Sky and Coldplay.
lyrics
"Spinnin' Out (This Is A Call)"
This is a call
To the lonely hearts
This is a call
To arms
If you stand up for what is right
If you stand up for this life
If you've ever been denied
The apple of your eye
When you're spinnin' out
And you find yourself running down
Yeah you're spinnin' out
The clockwork seems much bigger now
These ticking feet walk a distant shore
You try and move but hit the floor
And nothing suits you anymore
The clock struck back worse than before
And I wonder
What will be the blunder
To bring you out from under
This tiny cloud of thunder
When you're spinnin' out
And you find yourself running down
Yeah you're spinnin' out
The clockwork seems much bigger now
Now the destitute rely
On all their pain to get them by
An ouroboros from the sky
This is outdated life
When you're spinnin' out
And you find yourself running down
Yeah you're spinnin' out
The clockwork seems much bigger now
Yeah you're spinnin' out
The clockwork seems much bigger now
This is a call
To the lonely hearts
