dizzy spells by Umbrella Life
Back in the summer of 2021, as the very first drafts of a song titled "I’M BACK” were being written, I began experiencing stress-induced vertigo for the first time.
It was during this period that I wrote a song to remind myself to trust that despite life’s craziness, it’s those very same moments of spontaneity that make life a delight. A lonely and boring life I’d live otherwise. Why get woozy worrying?
I wanted to write a track that sounded like the main menu for an N64 game, with all the tabs and levels ready to open with a single push of a button. I think I succeeded, and it is with great excitement that I can say this song is ready to enter your ears.
This track is the first single for my upcoming EP "III," the conclusion to a trilogy I began back in that 2021 summer. Exciting lives we live!

Lyrics
If my life was clear
There’s no way on Earth that I’d ever be here
If my life was so predictable
I can name all the places I wouldn’t go
A lonely life I’d live
If I travelled time
If I skipped to the end to review my whole life
If I could control how the story goes
There’d be no point no reason at all
A boring life I’d live
And just like that your life turns upside down
Every step you take just spins you around
So dig your feet into the ground
But keep your head up in the clouds
Cause in time we’ll figure out
How this works
Cause dizzy spells are what life’s all about
Now my life has range
When I bend not break that’s called a life change
Now my life has rhythm and melody
I can improvise over what I can’t see
Exciting lives we live
And just like that your life turns upside down
Every step you take just spins you around
So dig your feet into the ground
But keep your head up in the clouds
Cause in time we’ll figure out
How this works
Cause dizzy spells are what life’s all about
And just like that your life turns upside down
Every step you take just spins you around
So dig your feet into the ground
But keep your head up in the clouds
Cause in time we’ll figure out
How this works
And just like that your life turns upside down
Funny how life works so laugh out loud
And so next time you’re freaking out
Take your time and live right now
Cause in time we’ll figure out
How this works
Cause dizzy spells are what life’s all about
