about

A dreamy alternative pop/rock song about a hot, never-ending summer, featuring steamy piano, shimmering electric guitars, a hot sax solo and sizzling vocals.
What does it sound like? Imagine the offspring of a marriage between John Lennon, Pink Floyd and Radiohead!

lyrics

Life Is on Standby
© 2018 Grahame Waghorn

Outside it’s as hot as hell
Sun fills the sky
It’s hard to breathe, it's hard to talk
Life is on standby
Drag myself down the stairs
Where it’s cool and comforting
Down in the basement
Down in the basement again

Every year it’s getting hotter
New highs every day
My whisky glass is slowly sweating
As the ice melts away
Forced inside by the rising tide
Where I can numb the pain
Down in the basement again
Down in the basement again

You say that it’s all a hoax
Is that one of your jokes?
I can barely see the mirrors
Through all of your smoke
Pour myself a stiffer drink
While the truth is brushed aside
Down in the basement again
Down in the basement again

about

Grahame Waghorn Santa Barbara, California

I write and record alt pop/rock songs on my bass, guitars, keyboards and sax.

Some are dreamy, some rock and some reflect my wry sense of humor.

All my songs are FREE! I’ll be happy if you listen to them and tell your friends about them. I’ll be overjoyed if you try to play them or sing along!

I've also released an album with an old friend - "Into the Blue" by Waghorn & Taylor
