Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Why do we often spend our lives chasing what we don't need or what we've already got? Can't talk now, must go shopping.
Lyrics
I don't know (he don't know) What to do (what to do) Always have to have (always always) Something new (something new) Serenity slipping from my weakling grip Water toture going drip drip drip I know what I want, where to go, who to be Just not this, not here, not me Then you untied the blindfold so I could see What was always in front of me What I've been looking for for so long You've been here, my love, all along Watching these compulsions fill my head When all you need is what Lennon said Something you can have until the world turns black Something you can hold that will hold you back I'm obsessed (he's obsessed) Against my will (against his will) Relentless quest (relentless lentless) For the next big thrill (next big thrill) Three for a fiver Seven for a ten Seaside novelties again and again Grubbing for more and more and more Coal scuttle fingers in the knick knack drawer Then you untied the blindfold so I could see What was always in front of me What I've been looking for for so long You've been here, my love, all along Watching these compulsions fill my head When all you need is what Lennon said Something you can have until the world turns black Something you can hold that will hold you back Blindfolded gagged and bound Can't move can't see can't make a sound Too self obsessed to see You had already rescued me Then you untied the blindfold so I could see What was always in front of me What I've been looking for for so long You've been here, my love, all along Watching these compulsions fill my head When all you need is what Lennon said Something you can have until the world turns black Something you can hold that will hold you back Something you can have until the world turns black Something you can hold that will hold you back Something you can have until the world turns black Something you can hold that will hold you back

Great layered guitars. I love the way you let the guitars play different parts of the rhythm and layer it together to form this driving rhythm. Is that a flute or a Farfis organ I hear? Very nice effect. I see a tendecny in your songs, that the lyrics are such an important part of the song, that the whole form of the song will be supporting what the lyrics are expressing. I truly like that. Youy write some of the best rock lyrics I have seen on SC (and everywhere else for that sake).
