Liner Notes

Sad music is good for you, but I think you have to be a sad music person to get it.

Mostly built this out of some fragments of conversations and thoughts over the last wee while.

This is on my epiphone les paul and my tiny yamaha acoustic electric which is not quite as grunty as I'd like it to be but my bigger one has a broken jack port. Placeholder garageband drums, very late night vocals

Lyrics

Come over tonight, are we friends now? I've been practicing but I don't know how Collecting a city in my phone Where i can hold it in one hand while I sit here alone

I'll laugh when you laugh, mixed up the sounds I've been watching though I'll figure it out You said "I feel like my dad", filming the drag show to catch all the fun we had so i can go home

"I don't know how you do it" (i think I do it bad) "All that sad music is gonna fuck with your head"

Come over tonight, there's a crowd now I know everyone and no one somehow Bring a pocket full of stones So I can hold them in one hand when I try to float

"I don't know what you're thinking" (I've just been really scared) "All that sad music probably got in your head"

"I don't know how you do it" (i think I do it bad) "All that sad music is gonna fuck with your head"

Holy schmoly. This is the most unique bad ass songs I've ever heard. So rad. My ADHD thanks you again.

Very complete song, so much comes together to make this, this a real sum of the pieces song, I would come back to it for sure.

This is so good! It gives me the same feels as the kinks which I think has to be good!

I love that deep and sweet guitar tone on the more bassy line. It kind of reminded me of the Cars. Such great lyrics all around. A poetry of loneliness. I agree sad music is good for you. It can be uplifting in its way, and this song achieves that.

I'm a second alto, and I can't get anywhere as low as you go on this song, so well done on that! You really capture the existential loneliness that we all feel, at least at certain times. Exemplified in that you have a city in your phone, and yet no one to call, and you know everyone, and yet somehow no one in the crowd. Now I'm feeling sad... But since that's probably the point of the song, good job! I enjoyed it immensely!

Chill vibe. Love the musicality. ❤️

Love the chorus. Great guitar and your vocals are really tuned into the song. Cool lyrics! So nice.

@alyxanderjames 1w

This is so good, every line is a gem. Really captures that feeling that's somewhere between comfortable weighted blanket and something more sinister dragging you down. Glorious!

@nickweisenfels 1w

It's really cool how a lot of your lyrics are about modern technology and they seem so relatable and not corny. Everytime I find myself trying to write lyrics with that sort of content I always scrap it because I can't make it work. And I continue to be really into your guitar tone.

Ooo, love the gravel in your voice! The lyrics hold such specific pictures of what I have been calling " the heavy" that weight in your body that's non-specific sadness that swamps me at the end of the day

Also love the layered vocals.

Wow, “Collecting a city in my phone” and “filming the drag show so I can go home” lands pretty hard. Punk used to rage against systems; this rages quietly against living through screens while sitting in the room. Love!
