China Airline (Matt the Electrician Cover)

This is another one of those songs that Matt does that is just like mainlining emotion. There are some really happy songs on the album this is one is from but there are a few of these that just move me to tears. I highly recommend this guy for his lyrics if nothing else.

Just a single mic recording I just added a bit of reverb but otherwise this recording is unfettered.

Lyrics:
The space between our mouths is a china airline
It's breakable and see-though
Decorated in white and blue in an antique hue

The distance in that space is from here to far away place
It can get cold
Like maybe the north pole in the winter time

I should feel ashamed for causing more pain
Maybe take a break
Roll up that thick black snake that I call a tongue

Try and hold my breath I might just postpone death
If I could just shut my face I might save the human race
or at least us.

The air inside this house is an LA sunrise
It's gloomy hot and red
And I should have stayed in bed for the greater good

It tastes and smells the same
maybe a little rain
Push it all away make way for another day

I should feel ashamed for causing more pain
Maybe take a break
Roll up that thick black snake that I call a tongue

Try and hold my breath I might just postpone death
If I could just shut my face I might save the human race
or at least us.

@Xeraans Wonderful :) I am glad you liked it so much. I love his music and it pleases me to know that there are others appreciate him as well. I wish I could write music as honest as his and his writing did indeed influence mine quite a bit.

I can't stop listening to this cover. You have an absolutely beautiful voice, and you present the lyrics very well.
