about

When Richard first came up with the idea for a “love” song we sat at the piano and with a guitar coming up with deliberately cliched and hack progressions.

I left it with Richard and he tightened up the melody and chords.

Richard says

“Season 3 of Fargo starts with a ride in the snow to a backing track of Crazy on You by Heart. It's a 70s stadium rock masterpiece, but what really caught my ear was the absolute desperation in Ann Wilson's vocals.

It made me think about girl love songs v. boy love songs. Boys are generally singing about trying to get laid; girls are actually singing about love. Shortly afterwards a colleague told me about listening to Natalie Imbruglia's Torn during her 'hormonal teenage mess' years... If you're selling love songs, it seems to me, it's better to have some skin in the game”

lyrics

Scary Bloody Desperate Deep (Ⓒ R.Marris 2018)

Boys singing their seductive lies
Pony tails and pretty faces
Just superficial hormone highs
While girls they look for lipstick traces

When they find them, what do they do?
They tell you how betrayal feels
Sliced right open, torn in two
A wound that nothing heals

So if you’re selling love songs
Get some skin in the game
Build a pyre, stack up the wrongs
Hold your hand over the flame

Scary, bloody, desperate deep
Growing pains and losing sleep
Can’t live without him have to keep
Until… cut out the cancer, lose the creep
