Liner Notes

Years ago, @erinkelsey3 once wrote a delightful song called "No Bra Day". I feel like this might be its pair. I look forward to the day that I can play/sing it all the way through without messing up the guitar. Today is not that day though! 😅 At least I didn't wake up the cat? #acoustic #girlwithguitar

Lyrics

There are days you wake up in the morning Didn’t do the laundry night before

Choose a T-shirt that will fill your cup and mosey over to the underwear drawer

Empty as the day that you were born But scrunched up in the corner What’s that there?

It’s the one that never feels quite right It’s not the kind you like that one last pair

Leave the house like every other day Try not to pay attention to down there

Can’t forget that it’s not feeling right It’s itchy or it’s tight that one last pair

Every step you put yourself in poses Sure that people notice your dismay

Ask yourself “why do I even keep them” Soon as we get home Throw them away”

Finally home you tear them off your body Finally do the laundry What comes next?

Think about it, don’t think anymore You put them in the drawer with all the rest

For the days you wake in the morning Didn’t do the laundry What to wear?

Drawer is empty, scrunched up in the corner Thank god you still have that one last pair

Only someone as creative as you could turn such a mundane issue into a delightful song! I should go throw out a couple of bras now.

What a great tryptic tribute to that one last pair! Such a delightful and sadly relatable slice of life song! Lovely flow to the melody. Makes me smile and want to adjust down there.

@gwynjones 2d

This is absolutely delightful! Not only is it incredibly witty, full of truisms and charmingly performed but believe me, we can all relate...marvellous!

@richardmasters 2d

Fabulous song. I don't wear bras but relate nevetheless, keeping as I do, long expired underwear 'just in case'. The lyrics are so wrly amusing and it's such a beautiful tune. When the harmonies come in it made me think how great it would be to hear sung in a folk club.

@philkmills 2d

This suggests an answer to why I have a drawer full of stuff I never wear...maybe someday.

The harmony is great. I like how the sincere presentation elevates the importance of the situation.

Nice kitty!

@sapient 2d

It's like a kids song, just a bit naughtier! I love it! 🤩 The constancy of the vocal melody works so well, as it helps to point at where all this is going... Also, how come cats never get pins & needles sleeping like that? 🤔

@disarming 2d

This has got to be the most beautiful joke song ive ever heard. I was at the same time completely embarrassed and delighted. What an unreal experience. Its not every day you get one of those. Incredible.

@chandra83 2d

Ah, yes! The dilemma of the “bad underwear” that you hate but end up keeping just in case! This is amusing and brilliant, well done! 💛

@chrisgray 2d

This is so charming -- love this sound and melody. And when that harmony comes in, wow. This is a great idea really, really well done. BTW, I like your song a lot, but I'm totally in love with your cat.

@artie 2d

This is so funny and clever and well performed… so tell me why do I wanna cry when hear this? Maybe because your approach to this sounds so sweet and sentimental and heartfelt. I dunno man, it’s so good. Made me feel something! Also, my underwear sure feels good right now.
