about

So I (Cormac) took a liking to a Big Pop Hit of 2020 and thought "oh! I could take the main riff from the last track on our last album and treat it like it's treated here, and remix the the thing as an electro/trip-hop thing and it'd be awesome"

... and then I got kinda carried away, and changed the chord structure and the melody and the lyrics in the verse, and abandoned the original idea that led me to do the remix in the first place. Ahem. I guess that's how Stoat rolls

lyrics

Oh patron saint of the worker bee
Please look favourably on me.
Help me to accept my fate
And to overcome my hate.

What doesn't kill you doesn't really make you stronger.
Some things' only virtue is their ending,
So can we not pretend that every cloud has a silver lining inside.
Just try not to think about it
And abide.

The little voices in my head all sing out to me
"This is not the way we imagined things would be".
I'm doing my best, voices, let me be.
Trying to find some serenity.
