Liner Notes

11

🙈🙉🙊. Turns out if you write 10 songs in two weeks, they get weirder.

Written and recorded between 2:51 PM and 6:19 PM Feb 15th, 2026. Updated 7:53 PM Feb 15th 2026. Wasn't happy with my cittern tone.

#rock #heavyrock #math

I play #drums, electric #cittern, #keybass and #vocals on this track.

Lyrics

Whose head is heavy, dreading endings you can’t see? Lay awake pretending you can change things Death is friendly, walks you over evergreens Plays a deck with fortunes in the making

And it all makes sense if you trust your new friends It all makes sense if you just pretend

All I need is one good reason So take me with you, we’ll just pretend

Who’s spending pennies? Betting on who still believes? Playing with a past you got for free?

It all makes sense if you just pretend.

All I need is one good reason So take me with you, we’ll just pretend

Yes! Love the lyric ‘Lay awake pretending you can change things’. I also really like the meandering drum part in the intro and how it soars into the verse.

Letting things get weird is the best part, my dude! What a ride, all hail the cittern!

Dope. I'm all about it man. That riff that came in around 2:45 was killin. Vocals are on point too. Nice work

Bring on the weird! Get weirder even! Sounds cool as shit dude! The changeups the crispy guitars and syncopated drums. It’s dope!

I can go weird on day one sometimes! i just usually hold it in till about 10. But weird is also a relative word to describe music! This aint weird to me its darned good! great guitars.

Hahaha, so true, the songs tend to get weirder, it's the fawmtigue I think, but this is so up my street, kinda put me in a psychedelic trance in the beginning, promise there are no substances in my system lol. Your voice is just so awesome, and I was banging my head to the beat the whole time.

Okay, you got me. You really got me. A minute in and I'm enjoying the easy feeling and thinking to myself, what's with the #heavyrock tag? I mean, really. And then you got me. Those are some amazing runs on that thing, too.

This is insane. Electric cittern? Everyone has one of those. Killer cut.

Hahaha, thanks a ton! The cittern's new for me, literally this is the first thing I recorded with it. This is the exact instrument if you're curious:
