LYRICS
-----------------
Paint me a pretty picture to live in
Remove all the ugliness
The whole universe is replaceable
I don’t care if anything’s real
Dreams and beliefs
I traded them for instant pleasure
For glory, for treasure
The depth of my soul is mine to spare
To win, will you give up everything? (x2)
He struck his hand across her cheekbone
Under the guise of true love
Sealed my eyes shut, it never happened
None of my fucking business
Faith and beliefs
I wield my double-edged sword
In the name of the lord
Hands soaked in blood is justified
To win, will you give up everything? (x4)
Where’s my salvation?
I’ve done everything right
Where’s my salvation?
I’ve done everything right
Where’s my salvation?
I’ve done everything right
Where’s my salvation?
To win, will you give up everything?
To win, I will give up everything (x3)
To win, I’ve given up everything

Through this song, I wanted to talk about people who would do anything to win - whether for material wealth, social status, fame, or win an argument over ideologies. There are times when we’re so blinded by our goals that we would degrade our morals and lose our humanity to get to the top. It might feel good for a while to be rich and successful or famous on social media. But is it worth it to lose everything else?

[@ishtarcephei5054]

As a certain Ender Wiggin once said, the way we win matters.

[@jangoisbaddest]

I think every creator trying to make a living can relate to this.

[@Tamlinsongs]

That’s interesting to hear. I’ve never actually tried to make a living from music alone. I’ve always associated music with being authentic, where as the business world would align more with the song imo (climbing the corporate ladder and so on). What was your experience like?

[@jangoisbaddest]

@@Tamlinsongs It can really be applied to anything in life. Easy to get tunnel vision and then look up suddenly to see all the things you missed out on.

[@iximusic]

Your melody writing is STELLAR. Oh and not to mention your vocal harmonies! Amazing video, message, and production. So cinematic. Love those "heyoooo ah"s! I can tell this took a tremendous amount of work and I hope it reaches more eyes and ears.

[@Tamlinsongs]

Thank you ixi! Thank means a lot coming from you since you do very thorough analysis of music compositions. I’m struggling a bit with promoting my music. Though maybe I’m expecting too much to fast 😆 I’m curious what’s the tip you’d give your past self when you’re just starting?

[@babols5171]

Refreshing to me as this is a different genre from what i used to hear nowadays... Deep lyrics.... And i dont know why I am liking it 😂 You are so different here...

[@Tamlinsongs]

Thanks so much! I wanna make music that’s truly whatever’s in my head, and not what’s gonna be popular 😆 Glad you like it even if you don’t know why!

[@babols5171]

@@Tamlinsongs I maybe unconscious about it though.. 😂 good thing you posted the lyrics. I might find something new again on a different angle 😉

[@FrankyGun]

Refreshingly different, plus it carries a strong message. I like it a lot! Congratulations to this production, Tamlin - a job very well done! Love and light from Khao Lak 🇹🇭❤️☀️🏖🌴🥥🐘🌈

[@Tamlinsongs]

Thanks so much Franky! My next song is coming out next month with an equally strong message. Parts of the video is a parody of 1984 :) And I’m jealous you’re at Khao Lak!

[@FrankyGun]

@@Tamlinsongs Any praise regarding your work is well deserved, I believe. Really looking forward to your new release since I read 1984 (again, for the 3rd time) at the moment. I have the book in my backpack, actually :) Khao Lak is the best place in all of Thailand, I believe - I'm living in Thailand for 30 years now and have been at almost any corner of Thailand, starting in Trang in my early days of diving, and have chosen Khao Lak as my home of choice - I'm living here since 2001. You're very welcome to visit us and stay f.o.c. at our home or our little Coconut Homes Family Resort when you come to Khao Lak, just give me a heads up a few days in advance :) Cheers, Franky

[@nimadres1120]

Perfect message for schools and parents. Gracias from Mexico.

[@Tamlinsongs]

Hello to Mexico! Greetings from Turkey. I’m living here at the moment :) Good to hear! My 2nd song coming out later this month is actually specifically for parents. It’s about how bad parenting/society/mindless entertainment can brainwash kids not to think for themselves 😆

[@aleclatimer5894]

Brilliant song, love it, very well written and performed, its certainly on the right track and I understand the theme, next time I'd love to see u doing a song that goes the whole hog, showing that for salvation to be obtained the idea of a separate (me) in there doing anything needs to be dropped, its only a mental program running on a bio computer, but Ego is a parasite so cunning that it takes over and convinces the host that (it) is the host, so veiling the truth, we are in this world but not of it, as all the Bibles tell us, we wake up each morning from the sleeping dream but we need to wake up from the waking dream, very few songs on that non dual theme but I'd love to hear yours.

[@Tamlinsongs]

Thank you! That's definitely an interesting concept to explore in-depth. A lot of us believe that our ego/persona is our real self, whereas in reality, there's so much more we buried under the surface. My next song that's already finished explores a different concept, but still in the same theme of alienation from the authentic self. Also, may I ask how you found this song? It's always surprising to me when I see a really thoughtful comment from someone I don't know.

[@aleclatimer5894]

@@Tamlinsongs HI Tamlin, your song came up as an advert in my facebook feed and I look forward to hearing your next song, sounds very interesting.

[@Tamlinsongs]

@@aleclatimer5894 ​ @alec latimer Oh that's cool! I tried youtube ads for the first time ever this week. Good to know it attract thoughtful people like you! I'm curious what do you usually listen to? :)

[@aleclatimer5894]

@@Tamlinsongs HI Tamlin, I'm from Ireland and I usually listen to Irish ballads, especially Dan McCabe musician who is a young neighbour of mine who is currently making it big over here, he has a unique voice and lots of stuff on youtube, I've written some song lyrics and Dan is going to sing one of them, when he gets a window in his busy schedule, but I have a deep interest in non duality and that is what attracted me your music.

[@Tamlinsongs]

He has a really soulful but strong voice. I just had a listen. Please do send me the song you and he create when it's available. I'd be interested to listen :)

[@praew91]

Your voice is amazing in this office version. Great message. The song somehow stick in my head like a week now. 👍🏻 Really like each phase of music theme, the way you choose vocal and drums leave me silent after the song end. Maybe this is opposite of what you try to communicate, but I feel like to success my current project, I should work a little harder! LOLLLLL

[@Tamlinsongs]

Thank youuu Praew. There's an instrumental version so you can sing in the shower while pretending you're going into battle kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGWYhmlqp6ujgbM And work a little harder is fine but take care of your health and mental health too 🙃

[@wowJhil]

Wow Tamlin, so it finally happened after 7 years! I guess you have been doing a lot with other artists, but I always wished since your songs like Shelter that I would see you going solo one day! And now finally it happened! And the song is really meeting my expectations. Not that I knew how this would be, but your voice and the song, it's what I liked so much from you! You deliver emotions so dam well, I think you will manage to make many people feel and think with this song! Big congratz! Btw, besides listening to your song on different platforms, is there anywhere you can actually buy the song for download as well? Cheers

[@Tamlinsongs]

I’m so glad you found my new song! I just went on your profile earlier today to see if you’re still active on here, but youtube doesn’t show any activity log. Thank you so much for your support since way back when, I really mean it! My new stuff is quite different, but it’d say it’d the most authentically me than it’s ever been. After 6 years of not touching music at all, I finally found…I guess you could say…my calling, music-wise. For downloading, I still have a bandcamp page: tamlinsongs.bandcamp.com/ Though I can just send you a download link personally. Just thoughtful comments are more than enough :)

[@wowJhil]

​@@Tamlinsongs The reason I found out about your new song was because you liked one of my comment, or else I'm affraid I could have missed it which would be really sad! I noticed I didn't have the bell on, I guess that feature wasn't there 7 years ago :) Thanks for letting me know! And thanks for the download link! Maybe those 6 years helped you to come back with even more passion and thoughts to bring out in your new music, then was possible before. I hope you find more inside of you! :)

[@Tamlinsongs]

@@wowJhil I have 5 songs lined up for the EP, where all songs explore the existentialist concept of alienation from authentic self. So yes, more are coming for sure! What do you usually listen to these days? I'm curious & wanna hear new music I wouldn't have known otherwise.

[@wowJhil]

​@@Tamlinsongs Ah great, just what I wanted to hear :) I don't listen as much today as before, and a lot of music I listen to now is actually such as kpop. I use it as background music as I am gaming. So maybe not much to recommend in that area. But I have listen to a lot of different music though, I could drop a list to you with some artists/songs I find really good overall. Let me think for a while and I come back with one!

[@Tamlinsongs]

@@wowJhil That'd be great! Drop me a list of games while you're at it too :p I'm really looking forward to playing the new Mass Effect Legendary Edition once I get home. I've been traveling for the past 3 months and can't carry my gaming PC around 😭 Speaking of KPop, do you know Mamamoo? They're the only group I listen to because their skills are just amazing!

@@Tamlinsongs Soooo... Not sure how to answer without writing an essay but... I'm always relieved and grateful for artworks that get us to see past illusions and delusions. And this song, with its music video, does that quite cleverly, IMO. Loved your acting in it, too! And the symbolism you employed, of course. I like how much detail you put into it (even if those fly over people's heads a lot of the time). So many of us get caught up in the motions of life and such, it can be comforting to be shown that there's more to it and we're not alone in experiencing that. Loved the colors, shapes, and contrasts used here too.

[@Tamlinsongs]

@@tintysun Thank you so much! I did wonder if it would get through to other people, since I'm an intuitive who lives in my head a lot. Though I've been seeing comments from friends that it's making them thinking about their work/life balance, or what their long term goals are, which is amazing! And exactly what I hoped to accomplish.
