Window Dressing

by Miles Francis

/

about

This song was written and recorded in the same period as the Good Man album, and it narrowly missed making the album itself.

Window Dressing is sung by someone searching for accountability and respect from their partner. As with a lot of the songs on Good Man, the big theme of Window Dressing is looking at how we act privately versus publicly. It's a song about heartbreak, but not the usual "relationship breakup" kind - more of a slow motion heartbreak that is trying to be mended in real time while the relationship is still alive.

The lead instruments in this song are the Yamaha CS-01 synthesizer, my Tempest drum machine, and voice. I hope you enjoy this tune - if you do, let me know! And stay tuned for more music to come.

lyrics

Out there you call me your savior
You say, “what would I do without you?”
When we get home one hour later
You change your tune
Play the part that makes you feel safe
But I know the truth about you

You don’t love me anymore
I’m just window dressing
Why do I stay like a fool
I’m just window dressing
Window dressing

You take what you want and I’ll give it
So you’ll sleep through the night
But I lay next to you, awake
I’m just a body to you

You don’t love me anymore
I’m just window dressing
Why do I stay like a fool
I’m just window dressing
Window dressing

You don’t touch me anymore
Better off doing it to myself
And yet I stay like a fool
I’m just window dressing
Window dressing
Window dressing
Window dressing
Window dressing
