about

A drum machine driven acoustic pop song, with lots of Lies instead of Lah's. Bachelor Tape's final song.

lyrics

I Lie to Myself

I’ve got Lie lie lie lie
I’ve got to lie to myself before I lie to you

How do we ever care about anything
When we got nothing to loose
I go over it
But I don’t want to choose

I’ve got Lie lie lie lie
I lie to myself before I lie to you

Softly softly
Is how we get through the day
And I would be lying
If I had nothing to say

If I’d run away from it all
I’d never get back to you
Without a distraction
There’s not much I could do
Lie Lie Lie

from Bachelor Tapes, released March 29, 2018
“Bachelor Tapes” by Cold Ghost aka Fletcher Babb. All songs written, recorded and produced by Fletch.

Mixed and mastered by Fletch.

Recorded and produced on the Gold Coast at Griffith University studios and Fletch’s home base, ‘Traffic or the Waves’.

Thanks to: Jake Morton (drums) and Ricky Collins (bass and guitar) for helping supply the core rhythms and grooves and for pressing record when I needed. Greg Hosking (drums) and Ben Dougherty (guitar) for making ‘Hide It All Away’ sound so good. Eliza Pickard (vox) and Zoe Gelzinnis (vox/piano) for your ethereal vocals. Daniel Booth for the weird effects. Also to Callum Robinson, Tiarni Hope Nichols, Connor Verner-Oakley and anyone else who helped out in any of the recording sessions.

Thanks also to Brendan Anthony, Jared Adlam and Caleb James, your guidance throughout this production process was invaluable. And to Anthony Lycenko, for helping shape ‘Vampire Love Song”, may you rest in peace.

This album is dedicated to Bernadette, Jonquil and Banquo, together anything is possible.
