Heartburn

Very Simple and non-Subtle Inspiration

I wrote this song last night whilst under attack from some really painful acid indigestion. In a way I’m glad I had it because even though I felt as sick as a dog and in as much discomfort as I can tolerate, it gave me this song, which I quite like!

As with all WSC songs, this is a demo recording, but it makes a change from just the usual solo voice and acoustic guitar. The title is the only thing that was inspired by my condition last night. The song is more about the fact that often, when you achieve a goal, get what you always wanted etc. it isn’t the end and there is no "Now I can just put my feet up and stop trying". It’s the beginning, always.

With the achievement of something comes a responsibility and usually that means something new to take care of and then of course there is the added factor of realizing that getting what you wanted was only a part of the equation and it still feels like there is something left to achieve. Good ol’ life. You can’t ever say it is boring without actually being boring of course!

So life always need work to become perfect unless, of course, you accept that life was already perfect and it is you who needs working on!

Enjoy!
