“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]
