The Last Day In The World

My website is toast again, trouble with DSL. In the meantime, hello and welcome to my blog!

I've had a cool song come to me over the last day or so, which I want to add to Candela's repertoire (see older posts for details about Candela). It's not quite complete, it'll probably change, but I think it's funny and fairly promising.

I woke up this morning
Stumbled outside, and
Fell in to the
Last day in the world

The sky was a blazing
The trees they were burning
The buildings were falling, and
The people were howling

On the last day
The last day in the world
The last day
The last day in the world

As I staggered through the wreckage,
The ruin and the rubble,
The flames and the wailing,
The bodies and the moaning,

I took in the vastness
Of the great shattered landscape
And the death and destruction
Reminded me of you

On the last day
The last day in the world
I was reminded of you
On the last day in the world

The sky it was red, and
The oceans were black, and
The air, it was grey, and
The earth it was broken, and

The bombs were exploding,
Great gaudy flowers,
A terrible fury
That reminded me of you

On the last day
The last day in the world - I remembered you
On the last day
The last day in the world

As the barrage crescendoed
The earth it was heaving
The heavens were shaking
With the high anguished screaming

As the cities were falling
With me falling too
The misery of billions
Reminded me of you

On the last day
The last day in the world
On the last day
On the last day in the world

(repeat until you want to stop, yeah!)

It's in a slow 6 I think (possibly 3?), with a four chord repeating pattern, one for each bar of 6 (which corresponds to one line in the song). It's a minor key, with a pattern something like I, III (actually I in the relative major), IV, V .

I can't wait to have a bash at this, tops!
