about

The inner critic can be such a burden until we see it for what it is. When we step into the observer role and shine light on the chaos the mind creates, there is great liberation, an embodied joy. Without that, the world can feel like a very heavy place. For Phillip Stewart x

lyrics

VERSE 1
Who are you? Watcha doing in there?
You’re stuck in my head and it don’t feel fair
You whinge and you moan at all that I do
Life used to be perfect until I met you…
Then you showed up and I lost my way
Snuck into my life I’d looked the other way
You close my heart with your mindless noise
Distract me with trinkets and expensive toys.

CHORUS
Show up! Show up!
Reveal yourself for what you really are
Show up! I want to see your face,
You hide behind words you make me feel a disgrace

VERSE 2
Who are you, watcha doing in here?
Every night and day you wanna fill me with fear
I toss and I turn rolling round in my bed,
Like that damn mosquito, you buzz right through my head
Don’t know where to turn I can’t take any more,
It’s time to check out - just show me the door
You thrive on dramas I’m starting to drown,
In your ocean of anxiety I’m on my way down

CHORUS

VERSE 3
No story, see what’s right here
No story, you don’t have to hold dear
To what the past has told you you need to be
To all the rules and regulations of society
I used to think you were part of me
Now I know you’re just a fantasy
Don’t need your judgments your critical eye
I’ve turned down the volume now I’m back to joy

CHORUS
You showed up! Oh yeh you showed up!
Revealed yourself for what you really are
You showed up and now I see your face,
You’re just a bunch of words you put a smile on my face.

Vegas Nerve, the ‘improbable’ band, is a collection of six musicians, five of whom are under the tutelage of the bass player, Darryl Chute, muso extraordinaire, brilliant teacher and founder of Fountainhead Music studio. What brings us together, in addition to Darryl, is our love of music. In the tiniest soundbites between our six busy lives, we’ve managed to co-create what you’re hearing. Enjoy! ... more
