about

This very song has gone through a great deal of transformation. The idea for this song began when I moved back into my parent's house in early June of 2019, listening to Stranger In The Alps by Phoebe Bridgers and Souvlaki by Slowdive, and still reeling with heartbreak in the heat of the summer. My mind was in a whirlwind- I had just dropped out of college and I had no idea where I was going. "Funeral" started after listening to the albums previously mentioned several times over. Little did I know, I was planting the seeds to my project, Proven Badlands. I just had to pick up my guitar, set it to an open tuning, and speak my mind in my notes app. It took almost two years to get finish this song and I wanted to release it when I felt that it was ready. I am overjoyed with how far it has gotten and how much it has blossomed.

I want to thank everyone who has expressed their appreciation for this track from it's humble beginnings to what it is now! And who knows- it may be evolving after I post this. That's the beauty of it all. A song can continue to grow and flourish and I will continue to nurture it.

Thank you, whoever may be reading this, for listening and checking out my work so far. It means the world to me.

xoxo,

Proven Badlands (AKS)

lyrics

~Lyrics~

When was the funeral?
How did we end up here?
Well I’m out of sorts
You’ve gotten bored of me
I’ve watched you walk away
So many different times
And it ends in death
Nobody learns from it

No time to waste
I swear it’s fate
But that was then and this is now
The seasons change
You moved like honey
But shadow boxed me
I’m too familiar with your kind
You’ll never make up your mind
That’s why I sing

When was the funeral?
How did we end up here?
Well I’m out of sorts
And you’ve gotten bored of me
You’re in my line of sight
But I’m
Not gonna take your life
Who’d do such a thing?
Surely not you of course

Naivety
One last embrace
A time to be
So carelessly
Wrapped up in "faith"
My wounded chest
Gone to extremes
The permanence in words once said
Worn on my sleeve

So when was the funeral?
How did we end up here?
Well I’m out of sorts
You’ve gotten bored of me
I wanted you around
Love isn’t lost, but found, or so I thought
Is that not qhat you’ve been waiting for?
I grieve, I mourn
A war cry of sorts
And it goes like...
