watching the grammys is like a sad family reunion that you cant leave a stale glass of water that sits on the counter for days like the cousins you see once a year and just dont connect with like you used to, you used to make music you used to feel so inspired some people hate tik tok for good reasons but it fosters independent and communal creative thought and can bring us together if we ignore the corporate teen angst acronym breakup songs we should want kate bush to be mainstream and we should fight for better culture, better music, better songs the more we lean into our old institutions the harder it is to unionize although sony music has their hands in everything they're clueless, playing catch-up to culture cuz they're dull and useless yeah they make up awards and still get em wrong

Lobster 02:00
i dont mean to freak you out but the lobster on the table is still alive, alive i dont mean to freak you out but the man from the paper is doing a story on you, on us and i dont waste this man's time cuz that last information you swore was proof was really lies, really lies and i had reservations before i was warned

watching blood soak through the gauze and waiting for a comet waiting for a sign from god, this is my life, how can i be more involved in it? if i really do miss guitar if i miss his arms pulled the shirt off your back and it made sparks static and a song for all the places i've made up in my dreaming fabric
5.
Hound 01:55
sjhaflskshfja ive been, ive been stuttering like a hound, baby i dont really wanna do shit and no one fights their will and wins, baby i remember houston in the cold stomping my, bruising my, twisting my, pulling my arm and i dont wanna be there when the parody of the thing becomes the thing

to my own surprise the car in front of me on the highway wiped the windshield dry and sprayed some fluid in my direction wiped it off of mine being blinded for just a second circle of life now its on the car right behind mine ONE MORE TIME!!

about

(3/15/24):
Sometimes u will write little guitar songs and release them and have the panicked realization that they will be INTERPRETED!! EWWW

These songs were fun to make but ultimately they dont need to be a public statement... i am not that smart & far too sensitive to be releasing things under my own name 😵‍💫

But alas songwriting makes me feel whooshy woahh im flying im flying

So... it will take focus and nurturing, but i believe there are great songs in me.. i hope to return in a healthier mind and share them


(Recorded over a weekend at Don's Cabin - september 2023)
