about

Last song. I originally wanted this to be short and sweet and to the point, but then I screwed that all up and made it 4 in a half minutes long. I'm really proud of the bridge on this one, too. I think I focused too much on trying to creating metaphoric lyrics, and phrases I thought sounded 'cool', and as a result, I ended up with a mess of words. but that's okay, because it represents the mess that is my mind and life.

I'm not 100% sure of the key this song is in, but I think it's B.

lyrics

I make mistakes almost every day
or the days don't feel the same
But gradually I will happily
let it all fade away
And here are to those times you helped me
keep myself composed
But you and me, we're a symphony
Two minds playing at once

So keep me whole or break me open
Just keep me alive

You heard I lost the point of the plot
In my own distorted view
So I'm connecting dots with all my thoughts
and seeking out the truth
Here is to the lesser half of all I've said and done
All the witless lines I've forced to rhyme
Prove I'm the misguided one

I'm excited to see where I'll go
now that I have hit this new low
I'm excited to see where I'll go
Hope I'll end on a dissonant(different) note

Before time there was nothing. Then, there were dinosaurs. Soon thereafter (in a cosmic sense) there was Josh Shulkin.

Facial Furniture EP
by Signals.

I discovered Signals. because they liked a post of mine about TTNG. I think. Anyways, they make great math rock-esque music with lots of weird, jazzy chords, which are my favorite. Obdurate Space
