Following the Leader
A dark acid jazz track led by a deep, sinuous bass groove and layered acoustic piano, Sparse, echoing percussion, The clear, resonant female vocals float above, creating space and tension, with moody chords shaping the vibe, loud, clear, violins.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I didn’t develop a personality,
Which in reality,
Wasn’t great for me.
Shaped to be a people pleaser
Nurtured to be an appeaser
Pre chorus
Would I jump if they jump?
fall like lemmings must?
Keep in the middle of the crowd
So it’s not myself I need to trust?
Chorus
I copy what others do,
Walk when they want me to,
But I can’t keep,
can’t keep following the leader.
Verse 2
Still as naive as a child
Would pursue a man to my grave
Tell my assailant where to aim
Nahh, I’m not to blame
But would I…
Pre chorus
Would I jump if they jump?
fall like lemmings must?
Keep in the middle of the crowd
So it’s not myself I need to trust?
Chorus
I copy what others do,
Walk when they want me to,
But I can’t keep,
can’t keep following the leader.
Chorus
I copy what others do,
Walk when they want me to,
But I can’t keep,
can’t keep following the leader.
can’t keep following the leader.
can’t keep following the leader.
No, I can’t keep following the leader.
I know I can't keep following the leader.
