John Noir Smith - New Blanket

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2004572
The tapestry is white and gold
I don't know how I got so old
The shades are cool and so are you
Or was it always black and blue?

I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket

The oven's running really hot
My milk is skimmed but I am not
Hello my precious little one
Are you the one that's having fun?

I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket

I've read my Dostoevsky
I have been sunburnt before
I don't know if this is the case for you
But sometimes I eat so much I'm full

I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I got a new blanket
I
Got a new blanket
Yeah

Biography

edit bio
Born in Drammen, Norway, with roots from all over Europe (as well as India). I started playing music – as well as writing my own songs – back in 2008. It started off with the harmonica, then the bass guitar (which led to a lot of experimental music), before turning to the guitar, synthesizers, ukulele, drums, and more later on.

Making music has become something I really enjoy, and I always hope that someone else will get something out of it as well. I hope one day that my music will go down in musical history, but I don’t really stress too much about it. If it doesn’t then what I made probably hit anyone else as it did to me, and that’s okay too. The most important thing was having fun while doing it, and actually getting some value out of it myself.

I realize that my belief in Buddhism tends to sneak into my lyrics here and there, and my lifestyle as a minimalist does tend to materialize in certain chord progressions and the likes. “Lunatic” is actually a great example of this: two chords (which is very minimal) and references to “dukkha”. “No Reason Why” is another, lyrically, as it contains references to “dukkha”, “dhamma” and being a monk.
I am also a big fan of humor, and this too manifests itself in my music (in songs like “One More Slice of Pizza” and “What If All the Witch Trials Were Right #2”).
I’ve tried a lot of genres, as I like different kinds of music myself. This is intentional, and I may breeze through them all one day.
