Official lyric video for my original song Ricochet.
Song written, arranged, composed, produced and performed by Paul Gilbody.

I’m really proud of this as it was the follow up to my debut EP ‘Eponymoose’ and was a step up in terms of my production. I hired a little creative space for a week to work on my music and brought all my instruments, some microphones and my iMac.
Drums, bass, guitars and voices are all me. The ethereal pad sound is electric guitar played with an eBow. This is the ‘radio edit’ version that I released on a 3-track CD single.

LYRICS
You keep pushing for the answer but you’re pushing it away
Say you’re following your dream but I just see you lie awake
You walk along that lonely trail, I wonder if you ever see the end

These unfamiliar memories are spinning in my mind
I’m finding it hard to believe that I got left behind
Said I try my best to recognise you from this empty picture in my hand

We face another day
Try to find our way
We duck the ricochet

I don’t want to spend my lifetime trying to find you
No, when you’re standing right in front of me
I don’t want to wait all night to lie beside you
Yeah, won’t you tell me now where did you go and are you looking for me?

I’m searching for your traces in the places you have been
I’m dusting all the cobwebs off the things that you said to me
But I cannot let go now because this feeling is stealing my soul

So we face another day
Try to find our way
We duck the ricochet

I don’t want to spend my lifetime trying to find you
No, when you’re standing right in front of me
I don’t want to wait all night to lie beside you
Yeah, won’t you tell me now where did you go?

Wherever you are, I hope you find your comfortable reality
But no matter how far, I feel you, I feel you

I don’t want to spend my lifetime trying to find you
No, when you’re standing right in front of me
I don’t want to wait all night to lie beside you
Yeah, won’t you tell me now where did you?

Are you looking for me babe?
Are you looking for me babe?
Are you looking for me babe?
