Name: The Scene Is Dead
Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: This song I wrote late one night talking to my friend Dan about how awesome the Isle of Wight DIY music scene used to be and how rubbish it was now, where you have to play covers or study at the music college to get anywhere past open mic nights. He said that the ‘scene was dead’ which inspired me to write this song, demo it, then proceed to play it at an open mic the next night.

This song I wrote late one night talking to my friend Dan about how awesome the Isle of Wight DIY music scene used to be and how rubbish it was now, where you have to play covers or study at the music college to get anywhere past open mic nights. He said that the ‘scene was dead’ which inspired me to write this song, demo it, then proceed to play it at an open mic the next night.

lyrics

Another night at another open mic/playing songs that no one seems to write/all the function bands play down the hotels/entertaining tourists who want to disco dance all night/but the scene is dead from the words we said/listen to this outside broadcast/but i'll remember the church halls and the empty clubs/every friday used to be on at the squaddy/metal, punk indie rock/but five years is a long time for teenage hearts/They move along so fast/I remember the blue walls and the freezing air/I remember the tiny stage on the edge of the roundabout/I remember the portico and the holes in the roof/I remember the bass amps that used to blow up at every show/ but the scene is dead from the words we said/listen to this outside broadcast/but i'll remember the church halls and the empty clubs
