New Music & New Inspiration

So it's been awhile since there has been a new Swivek album but never fear I'm working on it now. A 13 track set entitled "I GUESS I'M NOT ALONE". The songs featured include songs left off of the EVERYBODY HATES YOU album, plus some old lyrics and themes I've wanted to tackle for awhile. I'm also incorporating my pals Devin Tait of Devin Tait & The Traitors, members of the former Signal Ranch group and my pal Amy Crosby of Shitting Glitter to help out. I'm getting very excited, but first recording must commence.

With Prop 8 getting overturned (once again) today seemed to be the perfect to start recording my song "Wounded." The lyrics and music were written the day after Prop 8 was announced as legal back in 2008 (one month after I got married), I was devastated, hurt, and 'wounded.' But I knew (know) our day will come so I wrote the song.So I wrote it the day after Prop 8 was legal and I'm going to re-record it the day Prop 8 was deemed unconstitutional. Seems perfect.

Here are the lyrics:

W O U N D E D
Written by Bradley Jacobson

You can’t change what is true
Heaven knows, what about you?
You’re fading fast from memory
You’re on the wrong side of history

I’ve been wounded, I’ve been scorned
I’ve burned in flames and been reborn
There’s nothing more you will take from me
With your hate and your bigotry
I’ll walk right through your brimstone
And I will find my way home

Why don’t you walk the path of right instead
Of hiding behind a book to spew hatred
Your time of lies will fade away
And bring about a brighter day

I’ve been wounded, I’ve been scorned
I’ve burned in flames and been reborn
There’s nothing more you will take from me
With your hate and your bigotry
I’ll walk right through your brimstone, yeah
And I will find my way home

And
when you’re burning in your own brimstone
God will carry me home
God will carry me home
