When You Get Sick of It All
№55 — Play It Slow (demo)
organizing an accident is a once-weekly newsletter where I leak home demos of unreleased songs, first draft lyrics, thoughts on the creative process, and dispatches from music life in Paris.
Listen to “Play It Slow” (demo):
This song was written on September 15, 2022
Today’s song goes out to anyone who needs the occasional reminder to
take it slow
Sometimes we just need to simplify
or leave the hot water running another minute
or read another six pages to close a chapter.
Say yes to coffee with a friend in the middle of a work day
keep that chord progression on loop
or spend a little of our hard-earned cash.
Come on, play it slow
Come on, play it slow
Oh come on, play it slow. ◍
From the vault
