Melodic stoner-doom-goth-prog-metal. Oh, and some punk too...
Fay Wray started out way back in about 2000 as a pop-punk band named FOA. Over the years it evolved into Fay Wray and settled on a heavily Sabbath-influenced sound in about 2002. On a journey that has spanned 5 years, 2 EPs, and now an album, it has evolved further into a melodic-stoner-doom-prog-metal monster with a black and white retro aesthetic and songs about clockwork robots and alien children.

Story behind the song
Originally called "Someone asked me" (wonder where that came from...), the new title is from an old sample of a spoof language tape that it used to end with. No idea where the lyrics came from... I guess it's about how you can give everyone the best advice in the world but never take it yourself and how your problems are your own and no one else's...
Lyrics
Someone asked me what I do I told them I paint pictures I said I was an artist It was better than the truth Someone asked me how I felt I told them I was dandy I thanked them for asking I didn't want to bring them down CHORUS If your ship has sailed Mine sank before it docked And if you think you failed I found it better not to try Someone asked me for advice I told them to be themselves I gave them just my thoughts Though I never heed myself Someone asked me for the time I told them it had passed I said they were the future I didn't care if they were late CHORUS Someone asked me to be them I told them I would not I shook his hand and walked away He died that afternoon CHORUS
