Liner Notes

#fuc #acousticonetake

Recorded this in between classes at school, with a little February sniffle, but the song started coming at me last night and I wanted to get it down before I forgot. Also wanted to end with as many modulations as possible. Mission accomplished.

This is a song about being arbitrarily competitive about things that don't matter.

Lyrics

Little miss little miss N+1 Sleepyhead now the day is done Dying to finish what you’ve begun Oh little miss n+1

Little miss little miss n+1 Writing songs is a lot of fun And you are never to be outdone Oh little miss n+1

Nobody cares about the number but you You’re the only one twisting about being n-2 (boohoo)

Little miss little miss n+1 Your confidence is on the run Hunting for hamsters with an elephant gun Oh… (key change)

Little miss little miss n+1 Harvesting songs by the metric ton You had a million but now you have none Oh…..

Little miss little miss n+1 Always questing for inspiration You’re not the envy of anyone Oh….

Little miss little miss n+1 Desperate for anything under the Sun May as well go back to Hot Cross Buns Oh....

Hah, delightful :). Little bit nerdy (yay), cute, fun melody and pleasant voice, love the n+1 applied to the key changes at the end. Fun!

@danvaillancourt 4d

This is so fun and catchy. Love the modulations. Yes! 🙌🎶

@dr_griff 5d

I love it! The key changes are exactly right, and the song is perfect for all of us Ms. (and Mr.) N+1s.

@froggymagee 6d

yup, this is the good stuff. Perfect placement of the key change, you always keep me so captivated with your lyrics and melodies :)

@hyperthistle 6d

This is so good!! You totally captured what I'm sure so many of us feel... especially, I imagine, those drawn to challenges like this... Thanks for sharing!

@guatecoop 6d

Carly I just love this song! I find it really amazing that you recorded something like this between classes with a cold—and it’s STILL fantastic. I love the subject matter and it fits so many scenarios and people….never want to be around that much. Very well done!

@mtanguay 6d

So fun and such a great way to deflate that push for things that really don't matter. I love the Hot Cross Buns ending.

This is the crux of my ambivalence at FAWM. I love the people here, the community. I look forward to it. But, oh, that N+1, that push for quantity. Oy. You state the problem succinctly, and with some humor (and a waltz to boot!). Thank you.
