about

“Misery Loves Company” is the newest song from the ever-growing Vanilla “Sideshow” album.

This is a little parlor pop piece that’s also sort of a *parkour* pop piece with a few more words and musical quirks per square foot than most. Perhaps it’s even a bit baroque, contrapuntally speaking.

As the song is about co-misery, we remind you that we’ve suffered for our art, and now it’s your turn!

The “Sideshow” album will grow from one song to many over the next year as a digital-only album, and when it’s complete it will be released on CD or as an LP.

lyrics

If misery loves company
We will pass triumphantly
Into the Land of Broken Hearts

Where anger is integrity
And sweetness is a felony
And joy is just the sum of broken parts

Summer wonders where the springtime went
Summer the winter of my discontent

If misery loves company
We’ll rattle on redundantly
And rummage through the drawers of drunken dreams
Where flickers of eternity
And patterns of paternity
Reveal that nothing’s ever what it seems

And when it’s time to go
I will hold your hand
Together we'll ascend to no-man’s land

Misery loves company
Harken to my homily
Of love and sex and death and hope and lies
And life’s majestic pageantry's
Reduced to guileless gallantry
And nothing we can do will turn the tide
