about
From the "Findoglen" collection (2020)
When I was young, I didn't have stagefright. Even though I got nervous, I could sing (do a turn) at weddings and in class at school. But, that all changed as a teenager and now, I can't perform in front of an audience - I struggle to speak.
I wrote this tune after going to a Folk Session in Crieff (where I actually took my guitar and joined in - although I couldn't perform on my own!)
Recorded in Findoglen
Mastered in Cambusland
Instruments:
- Reaper 6.09 on Linux
- Zoom RS24
- Applause Acoustic with Roland GK-3 Pickup
- Roland GR-20 Guitar Synth
- Adam Black 12 String Acoustic
- Hydrogen Drum Machine
- Acepro Bass

lyrics
Stagefright (By H.McMillan)
It's the same Black Abbot feeling, that I always get
My mouth is getting dry and my palms are getting wet
And every breath is shallow as my pulse begins to rise
Till the heartbeats are exploding and there's panic in my eyes.
My fingers are like putty
and I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
Their eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it will all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and count me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound
But I'm deafened by the silence and the room is spinning round
And every pulse a bass drum...bursting in my ears
Till I hear a voice from far away wavering with fear
My fingers are like putty
And I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
With eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it will all be over fast
I know, I know, I know you're trying to help and calm me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Let's get out there and all of this will pass
Let's get out there... it'll all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound
It's the same Black Abbot feeling, that I always get
My mouth is getting dry and my palms are getting wet
And every breath is shallow as my pulse begins to rise
Till the heartbeats are exploding and there's panic in my eyes.
My fingers are like putty
and I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
Their eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it will all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and count me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound
But I'm deafened by the silence and the room is spinning round
And every pulse a bass drum...bursting in my ears
Till I hear a voice from far away wavering with fear
My fingers are like putty
And I'm reaching fight or flight
The audience is waiting
With eyes like laser sights
Just get out there and all of this will pass
Just get out there... it will all be over fast
I know, I know, I know you're trying to help and calm me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Let's get out there and all of this will pass
Let's get out there... it'll all be over fast
I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down
But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now
Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound
