Healthier than your Explanation
Healthier than you grew out of a single cool-sounding drum loop. The drum loop on the main verses was part of a group called Siggi styles
I had put the loop together several months ago and tried to find a guitar sound to go with it, but had no luck. Then one day, as I was preparing to record a different track, I stumbled on it and picked up a guitar. What came to mind was a grunge guitar with a modal almost Middle-Eastern feel. It grew from there
The concept for the lyrics came partly from The Screwtape Letters and partly from the Vigilantes of Love.
The Screwtape Letters mention one of the worst sins is Spiritual Vanity. The Pharisees in Jesus time were a prime example of this.
VOL has a song, called "When I'm Broken (See what happens)". You can put it together from there.
Healthier than You
He was so tall
He could not see
The ground below
beneath his feet
He was so whole
He could not feel
The old fault lines
The glue revealed
Two steps ahead
A league above
A practiced smile
shows plastic love
"I'm not like you
I'm clean and pure
Never been sick
Don't need a cure"
I remember when
He needed me
a fractured heart
on bended knee
