EP 2:The story behind the song | Fellini Was Dying (drunk in the afternoon)
In SONGBIRD's first "behind the song" episode, Marco explores the real life story that inspired the first track from Heaven Get Behind Me.
We talk through the songwriting process, listen to the demo version, go deep into the technical choices and then we hear the final mastered version of the track.
LYRICS:
Fellini Was Dying (drunk in the afternoon)
They say Fellini was dying
And she bums a cigarette
Pretends not to know me
But I know that wicked smile
And those lips, they are so sweet
And some farmers brought down the moon
There’s a voice at the bottom of the well
Where the water, it’s so cold
I've been getting drunk in the afternoons
Yeah, I think I’m going home now
They say Fellini was dying
Saw you on 6th Avenue
Another man’s life
Now another man's rose
They said Fellini was dying
When I saw you
Another man’s wife
Now another man knows
