Liner Notes

IF YOU ARE MY COLLABORATOR IM SORRY AND IM WORKING ON IT.

dude i have like 5 songs backed up and which one did i record? The one i just wrote 20 minutes ago.

Anyway I had a really specific #indierock sound on my head for this one, and very little time to complete a recording. So it is what it is and now we move on. I'll be returning to this track though. I do like it.

Ironically, I was so overwhelmed earlier, and I had this two hour time period where I could choose what to get done. I didn't feel like I was in the right mental state to get anything done at all and I laid down in bed with my phone and within minutes started getting song ideas. I typed this into my phone notes and recorded a round melody demo in my phone as well, so I could remember the phrasing and notes I had in mind. So then I got up and recorded this song. It somehow completely cut in line. Sorry to the other songs!

Lyrics

It's funny
How I don't wanna talk
About it, but I want
All your company
It's funny
How you look at me
Like I might be something
That you need completely

Because baby I feel worthless
On days like this
When I can't get anything done
Baby I feel nervous
Haunted by to do lists
No matter where I run

It's funny
How motivated I feel
The empowerment is unreal
But only lasts a day or two
It's funny
The highs and the lows
Commit to too much, then I don't
I don't want to, I don't want to

But babe I feel worthless
On days like this
When I didn't get anything done
Babe I feel worthless
Haunted by to do lists
No matter where I run
Yeah I'm always there
I'm never done
I'm always here
I'm never done

Sometimes the best songs happen very quickly. It's so immediate and catchy but melancholic too. It's fab!

This is so good! I love how you ended it with that descending chant. Like the whole song is this bop that gets you moving, and by the end it's like "oh, maybe it's not funny". šŸ‘šŸ‘

Iā€™m not surprised this one jumped the line. It is a song that demands to be listened to. A real hit, so catchy! You really did nail that indie vibe, and it all just works!

LOVE the slant rhymes! Love the chord progression. And your super catchy melody. Had to listen twice! So good.
