"Hello"

about

Volume 4 of the Splintercat Series recorded with co-producer Colin J Nelson at Her Car Studios. This song was benefited much by a bevy of beauties, as the concept that we worked with was strictly (ish) feminine accompaniment. Much praise and appreciation to the gals that contributed. It made for a gorgeous tapestry and one of the more sophisticated and complex recording experiences Splintercat has undertaken to date. Enjoy and thanks for listening.

lyrics

When I told my secret to you
You withdrew, who could blame you
I would do the same thing to
When I came to you heart in hand
You accepted it, except you looked at me
And said sadly

Hello, how do you do
the things you do?
I thought I knew you
DIdn't have a clue
what happened to the you that I knew

We worked our hearts off for the love
My secret became a spectre
To remember when we'd get sad
As I sat by the fire alone
The shadows casted lasted longer
Than the fire burned

Hello, how do you do
the things you do?
I thought I knew myself
Now I do too well
What happened to that naive fool that I knew?

Well her and I didn't last, so don't even ask
Sometimes those you love the most are cursed
With seeing the worst of what you actually are
Just after I gave up the ghost
She came to me with a secret of her own
And it was my turn to say to her

Hello, how do you do
the things you do?
I thought I knew you
DIdn't have a clue
What happened to the you that I knew?
