about

This song is about my experiences with my fairly small local music scene. There have been a lot of positives, but also a lot of negatives, and as a musician who writes music that doesn't fit in any of the typical genres, it can feel extremely cliquey, and hard to find common ground with a lot of other singer songwriters in the scene. I spent a lot of time hiding from the scene, instead of realising that the common ground we had was that we all loved making music, regardless of genre.

lyrics

You know that you can be so blind
falling through metaphors
You know that I will take my time
Racing the clock to
get back to the top

I’m sorry that I ran away

It’s a temperamental scene
Screaming to be noticed
I cannot stop, it’s in my genes
I’m so sorry that I
couldn’t be what you wanted

I’m sorry that I ran away

We can sleep to dream
Sometimes we can be so mean
Things aren’t always what they seem

You see we are two of a kind
Wanting the same thing
What I need is love defined
It’s the same in the end
I just need my friends to be there

I’m sorry that I ran away

Dee Mac Hobart, Australia

Dee Mac is a musician from Hobart. She tends to write in rather eclectic styles, and finds sticking to one genre a little too restricting. She realised a few years ago that she can't write short songs, and after trying to write pop bangers for far too long, she has finally embraced it, and now her songs tend to average 5-10 minutes long…

All in all, she’s just in it for the music <3 ... more
