Description
Here is a review: "Flower pop Starts out capturing the mood of 1969 flower folk with lush vocal harmonies and unapologetically pretty chord changes. Then it starts to reveal itself as more of an ironic, almost snide song, like the Cowsills had suddenly been possessed by Jarvis Cocker. Intellectual pop, all the way - the songwriting, arrangement and lyrics are all ultra-smart and self-conscious. Leagues above the rest..." - BADGNUS, Garageband.com (Apr 22, 2010)
Lyrics
Tumblin' Down c.2008 May Tree Arc Productions Composed, Produced and Performed by Sol Phoenix aka Jere Faison Every single one Tumblin' Down Empire's spread out far and wide Across the seven seas To blaze a trail of genocide Pillage and disease And they all come Tumblin' Down To the dust, back to the ground Shining towers built by men To scrape the azure skies But there's no handmade monument Can ever reach that high Given time and gravity Just listen for the sound When they all come Tumblin' Down To the dust, back to the ground And oh, they'll make a sound When they all come Tumblin' Down Everything's impermanent When the money's gone And the body's spent The only thing left will be you and eternity Even little Napoleons Who seek to rule it all Will tumble when they see the end Their mighty empire's fall Every tyrant has their day And oh, what comes around When they all come Tumblin' Down To the dust, back to the ground And oh, what comes around When they all come Tumblin' Down Yes, We all come Tumblin' Down To the dust, back to the ground And oh, what comes around When we all come Tumblin' Down Every single one Tumblin' Down
