Wasted Love

Rocky and bluesy, with a little bit of Hammond organ. A tale of investing love but ultimately no ROI - hence just a waste of time, and feeling a bit bitter and twisted about the whole damn thing :)

A (con)fusion of influences - rocky stuff one day, some folky/acoustic tunes the next, and maybe some electronic ambience the day after that....
Welcome to Hilbert Space! Actually it's my space, I just borrowed the name from David Hilbert, a maths giant around the early 1900's; he formulated the concept of what became known as Hilbert Space, which basically extends Euclidean geometric concepts of our standard 3-dimensional reality into any number of dimensions. The elements of an abstract Hilbert space are typically sequences of complex numbers or functions; I really like multilayered sequencing, so some of these songs are my distorted equivalent of an n-dimensional Hilbert Space: lots of complex sequences going in all kinds of sonic dimensions! This small niche in cyberspace that you've stumbled upon is just another person's journey among the untold millions of us who like to dabble in the musical arts, and I'm thankful to all who have created the incredible technologies that allows us to effortlessly share our audio musings with others, rather than being discarded like "tears in rain" as Roy Batty lamented. Anyway, cheers to Hilbert, and may we all look a bit further outside our own space.

Story behind the song
Contributed song for a six-piece, short-lived band I was in about 20 years ago; this version is resurrected from the original 4-track cassette demo which the band played on - thanks to Mon (backing vocals), Dazz (Bass), Bill (Drums), and Bernie (guitars).
Lyrics
Verse 1 What's your philosophy, baby, Can you tell me in a handful of words, Did you learn it off the tongue of a mystic Or was it hangin' in a tree full of birds? When you cry wolf, I don't mind, I even stand all the indecision But why tangle me up into this web? Don't let me compromise your position. Chorus 1 Wasted love is what I gave you Wasted love is what I've thrown away Wasted love leaves a pain that pierces me Every hour of the night and the day Wasted love (x4) Verse 2 Why carry that map in your fingers; You know it all like the back of your hand. You dragged me away from the beaten track Are you gonna leave me here to rot in the sand? Come on babe, please open up, Let your eyes see my reality. Theres more than you in this Universe, Don't you notice that it now includes me? Chorus 2 Wasted love won't give no promise Wasted love only knows how to lie Wasted love is a stranger beside you That in the morning won't kiss you goodbye Wasted love (x4) Verse 3 I understand your reasoning Like I know why a whale sings But you can lay your worst on me; I dont care what your sweet tongue brings. How 'bout it babe, be straight with me No need for you to fool me this time In the legality of lovers law Tellin' lies is still the biggest crime. (You know it) Chorus 3 Wasted love can never be salvaged Wasted love is gone once it's used Wasted love like a pointless proverb Will only leave you more confused Wasted love (x8)
