Half way there!! (26th song of 52!) So I’m back from Spain, I had a great time, but now it’s time to get back to business! Is there a worse month than November? I always get depressed during November and I tried to explain why in this song. Hope you like it… overall i’m happy with it, I think it’s entertaining.. and the good news is this dreaded month is almost over!!
Please don’t hesitate to leave your comments if you listen to the song!
See you next week!
What I like about it:
I like the chorus, i think it flows pretty well
What I’m not so sure:
The verses are ok but could be a bit more varied… The voice is not very clear at some places, the guitar could use some variations too
Lyrics & Chords
Surviving November Verses: C E7 F G Chorus: Am Fmaj7/A Gsus2 C E7 ( Tune a half-step down) VERSE 1 Of all the ways to go insane Of all the ways to lose your mind I found one that's pretty damn amazing Yes, it works every single time November wind tears out your soul The freezing rain then makes you numb A sudden fatigue now swallows you whole You give up your hope to see the sun CHORUS In my eyes, can you see a sign of life? In my eyes, can you see a sign of life? In my eyes, can you see a sign of life? In my eyes, Doctor will I survive? Doctor, will I survive November? VERSE 2 Don't dare turning on your TV Out there everyone has gone nuts I already couldn't cope with anxiety And i don't even have The Shot Still, I venture to buy my groceries Stay focused, i need to be strong But is it really necessary? A whole two months of Christmas songs? CHORUS OUTRO It'd be so much easier, if you'd be here, if you'd be here It'd be so much easier Surviving NovemberPosted under Rock
Très bonne chanson! Tout le monde peut s’y reconnaitre!
J’adore le chorus et le ”A whole two months of Christmas songs” m’a bien faite rire!
J’ai bien hâte de te voir live!
Nice song, it’s good to hear you singing after all these weeks of silent! Not necessarly my favorite song, but it’s a bit different than what you’re used to do and it’s interesting. I remember the feeling of this damn november and a little wave of nostalgia came across my eyes when I was listening to your song. Your lyrics are great!
I really think this is a solid song from beginning to end. I would bring in some drums or bass at the second part of verse one and let that carry on for the rest of the verses. Do something a little more muted (drum-wise) for the choruses. But like I said, the song stands on its own. Well done!
I really like that song, I also like the lyrics a lot. I like your voice too, but in some places it seems like your nose is blocked… Like when you pronounce “numb”. But still this is one of my favorite song.
cool i think its a great suggestion for the bass and drums, i can totally hear that! thanks everyone for your comments!
I like this song, everything is very smooth to the ears. I would have liked a bit more emotions at the last line of the chorus, especially on “November”, something like extending your voice. “Two months of Christmas songs” is just hilarious, but at the same time it may take away the seriousness of the song. Overall I like it!
