about

Ceiling Fan was never intended to be the final title for the song. When the song was written, I had given myself a challenge to write a song in real time from beginning to end and play it live via Facebook Live w/o letting anyone else know what was happening . The camera on the phone was facing up with only the (drum roll, please) ceiling fan in attendance of the performance. When I tracked vocals on the song in the studio (maybe a year or two later?) I had forgotten the vocal melodies and I didn’t really have any concrete lyrics. So just like it’s origins, I made up completely new vocal melodies on the spot and used random lyrics from my notes app. So sometimes in your life, it’s just you and your ceiling fan.

lyrics

It’s always Mr. Brightside on karaoke night
You can’t love yourself, unless you take the time

You’ve got a face to crush on

La la la what a rush

You’ve got a face to crush on

have you had enough

Sunday tours inside glass houses

Architectural flaws

We’ve got Eternal claws

We need something to carry
Something extraordinary
Something to keep us grounded
But these rooms are often too crowded

Sunday tours/someday it’s yours

Sunday tours/someday it’s yours

Sunday tours

inside

You can’t love yourself

Unless you take the time

We need something to carry

Something extraordinary

We’ve got Eternal claws

It’s an eternal clause
