Bloomer - The Antidote
Swinging sea-shanty groove, heavy folk-punk drive. Rhythmic Bodhrán, deep thumping tea-chest bass, fingerpicked mandolin. Swelling accordion chords, soulful fiddle leads, and the occasional haunting drone of a hurdy-gurdy. Mix of whiskey-soaked baritone crooning with a rowdy, maritime attitude—blending "Officer’s Mess" sophistication with "Below Deck" rebellion. Keep it live, organic, and salt-crusted. Aim for a smoky, nautical lounge vibe. Smooth yet gravelly vocal delivery; think 'nautical noir' crooner with punk energy. Playful, tongue-in-cheek swagger, but with heartfelt, seafaring storytelling. Background chorus vocals in a rowdy, tavern-style call-and-response, but harmonized with jazz-club polish. Keep it rich, deep, and expressive. Less Broadway, more 'last night at the end of the world' dockside bar.

Lyrics
Basement window
Crawling under my skin
I ignored all the warnings
And turned the brain I was born in
To someone I don't know
Oh
I'm on the brink of the brink
Running dry when I bleed
And I know when I go they won't remember me
But I'd kill to live for thrills
Screaming out a melody I can't hear
I poison everything 'till it wilts
I need the antidote
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the antidote
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you
I know when I go they won't remember me
I need the anti dote
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the anti dote
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
