“Under the Weight” by Marti West – A Song Review

     With a richness and elegance that defy its simplicity, “Under the Weight” is a celebration of serenity. The harmonization is the strength of the track; and the addition of lyrical layering in the final minute pushes “Under the Weight” into an even higher realm of attractiveness.

     The song is from Marti West, who recently moved from the UK to take residence in Göteborg, Sweden.

Lyrics of “Under the Weight” by Marti West
Under the weight
Of what I didn't do
I found myself hid
Under what I did
But I'm home for the summer
Smitten by a song
I wish I'd writ
Ringing in my ears
In my ears

Twenty-four years
I'd drive to the seaside
For a coconut kiss
And a place to hide
And so I'm reminded
Of a man who was blind
When he'd talk, talk, talk
And say nothing at all
Nothing at all

I've never seen an eye so green
She's the moon and I'm the sea
The keen perfume of jealousy
I've never seen an eye so green

Under the weight
Of what I didn't do
I found myself
Hid under what I did
But it's the end of the summer
And at the foot of my bed
Is the same old song
Running round my head
Running round my head


I've never seen an eye so green
She's the moon and I'm the sea
The keen perfume of jealousy
I've never seen an eye so green

You can say whatever you want
My love, your love is back to front
[Repeat]
