about
You Won’t Bring Me Down was conceived while in Toronto during one of the deepest parts of COVID-19, and was definitely written out of frustration. It means exactly what it suggests - you won’t bring me down!
I am a big John Carpenter fan, and the music he writes for his movies is always very unique, quirky and memorable. This song definitely carried some of that inspiration, which shows strongest in the opening, single tone riff.
I recorded many of the core elements at home in my office, including the noisy guitar solo in the bridge.
lyrics
Push me to the edge, watch as I forget
Pretend that I don’t care, we know that’s a lie
I’ll just sit and stare, into the abyss
Took my shot and missed, you won’t bring me down
Oh no, no
You won’t bring me down
Put a rush up on the lies, use your poor disguise
You think that I don’t know, we know that’s a lie
I’ll just sit and stare, into the abyss
Wish that I had missed, you won’t bring me down
Oh no, no
You won’t bring me down
You think I got it wrong
I hear it in your song
You can’t hear the truth
Cause you won’t, no you won’t, no you won’t won’t won’t
You think I got it wrong
I hear it in your song
You can’t hear the truth
Cause you won’t, no you won’t, no you won’t won’t won't
