about

When working on At Odds At Times, several of the tracks received 11th-hour musical revamps for various reasons. "And You Laugh" was one of those songs. The same basic concept was kept for the album version of "And You Laugh," but, since I had wanted to increase the tempo of the song, the original music ended up sounding a bit too frantic and was replaced with an arrangement that fit the updated tempo a bit better.

For this release, I used the original music as a guide, but reconstructed all of the parts to fit into the recorded version's arrangement & tempo. The vocals are taken from the original vocals At Odds At Times vocal sessions, but also remixed.

This version also has a full ending rather than the album version's fade-out to be more DJ-friendly.

lyrics

Tell me how it's come to this?
Tell me why I feel I missed?
Tell me why I didn't stop it
Try to stop it from the start?

Tell me, with your voice so pure,
Tell me why I feel so sure
Tell me how the castles that we built have pushed us so apart...

And you laugh
It rings musical, and so kind
And you show me all the doors that I kept tightly locked inside my mind
And you laugh
Rings purity, and so bold
And you show me all the walls that I had built so tall inside my soul...

And you laugh, and you laugh
And you smile, you beguile
And you laugh, and you laugh
While you're breaking my heart
And you laugh, and you laugh
And you smile like a child
And you laugh, and you laugh
While we're drifting apart

And you laugh, and you laugh
And you smile, you beguile
And you laugh, and you laugh
While you're breaking my heart
And you laugh, and you laugh
And you smile like a child
And you laugh, and you laugh
While we're drifting apart...

Tell me why I dream my dreams?
Tell me, is life as it seems?
Tell me why I lay here on
A concrete sea and shattered glass?

Tell me, while you laugh and smile,
Tell me how you've grown so wild.
Tell me why the sky and why the earth and why we're in between.
