about
An original Christmas song by Pixelstorm, recorded in 2023.
The 'inbetween' refers to the days between Christmas Day and New Years Eve. A period of reflection and self criticism, of social failure and a touch of hope of making progress next year. The hero is an understudy in a theatre group, hoping to land a lead part next year. The retro synth hooks are played live on Keytar. The intro/ outro "Next year'll be your year" is sung with encouragement, but it's a mantra that could also be a taunt.
lyrics
Next year will be your year
This year
It should have been your year
you poor forgotten angel
The understudy girl
Stuck inbetween
Your ambition and patience
Everyday you’re chasing
Their words round your mind
Welcome to the inbetween
Welcome to the inbetween
Leftover days
Welcome, welcome
Join us in the malais
And watch December die
Wait here in the wings
Patience, patience
Make one resolution
stay in bed on New Year’s Eve
The countdown to nothing
And the song you’ll never sing
Yeah
Welcome to the inbetween
Welcome to the inbetween
Leftover days
Welcome welcome
You’re made up to the nines
But sat by the radiator
If next year is your vintage
You’re scared you’ll pour it away
You’ll pour it away
Champagne blonde
So scared you’ll pour it away
Welcome to the inbetween
Welcome to the inbetween
Leftover girl
Welcome, welcome
Join us in the malais
And watch December die
Wait here in the wings
Patience, patience
Welcome to the inbetween
Welcome to the inbetween
Next year’ll be your year
Next year’ll be your year
Next year’ll be your year
Next year’ll be your year
