Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.

Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song

This is just about being content.

Lyrics

Bleached surf crashing in rowdy rows
Morning light conjuring rainbows in the foam
With the soft sun warm as a lover's kiss
Frank Black and The Pixies in my headphones
Well I think I found the place
To lay my bones

Other people make no sense to me
What they want remains a mystery, am I alone?
Chasing your tail til you can sink your teeth in
Is just not my idea of eating on my own
It's time to find the place
To lay my bones

It's not about giving in
It's just I feel that I've done
Everything worth doing
And all I need now is a place wherein
To lay my bones

Look behind from where we've come
In the distance one by one, milestones
Met the tests that life has thrown us
Now each new day's a bonus, and I'm home
Content to find the place
To lay my bones.

It's not about giving in
It's just I feel that I've done
Everything worth doing
And all I need now is a place wherein
To lay my bones

I downloaded the album the other day and have been listening to it. Absolutely brilliant stuff from start to finish. You're definitely one of my fav artists on SC.
