At first it seemed so great, it took a single serenade
And I was as good as laid
Didn't matter if they were hot, had a steady guy or not
Three chords later they were caught
By a soothing song and strum that outmatched Apollo
You could call it bragging rights, all my friends throwing high fives
Everybody asking for advice
But now I'm not so sure if it's a blessing or a curse
After twenty missing shirts
And the phone calls that just won't stop
Play the game and the game will play with all your fame until it takes all you've claimed
You play the game and the game will play you back
I never thought there'd be a time that every conquest would get wise
And turn adventure into crime
I never planned a contingency, now I know Hell really hath no fury
Like a hundred women out to get me
They're all up in arms and now I'm as hot as a leper
Play the game and the game will play with all your fame until it takes all you've claimed
You play the game and the game will play you back
You play the game and the game will play you back
And another fifty more who won't let me forget their names
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
