about

This song builds to beautiful harmonies & dreamy (The XX-like) guitar parts while invoking the complexities and contradictions of the human existence (“I’m so happy that I’m crying, so bored can’t do a thing. I’m so healthy that I’m dying, so sharp can’t see a thing.”) And in the chorus reminds the listener that “this is a strange world where life is like a dream. This is a wild world…where things aren’t what they seem.”

lyrics

Strange World by Sharon Coates


I’m so happy that I’m cryin’
so bored can’t do a thing

I’m so healthy that I’m dyin’
so sharp can’t see a thing

I’m so tired can’t go to sleep
so wired can’t stay awake

I’m so lost……know where I am



This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem


In a crowd I feel all alone
I’m so smart don’t know a thing

So popular I’m by myself
so poor have everything

So sad I’m always laughing
so loving hate this world

I’m so old….born yesterday


This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem



At times I have to wonder
why we’re really here

Why do we feel this way
will it become clear


This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem

This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem


In this world how we feel
matters more than what is real
