If yr reading this, and yr subbed to me, I just wanna thank you, personally, for being here despite the lack on non-B&B music. I've been telling myself that I'm "in album mode" for the last three years and an unlucky triple-threat of real life events, real life setbacks, and just being a slow songwriter in general is what's been keeping anything from getting finished. I swear on all that is holy that multiple songs are in the works, actually no, maybe that's the problem? I tend to work on multiple songs at a time rather than directing all my attention towards just one or two. Unfortunately my ADHD brain is too restless to do that, and so here we are.
I'm thinking about making up for it by making these posts more often. As far as posts, I usually only post here to either promote a music video or to say some fake-mysterious BS like all the lamest small artists do. No one's listening or here to judge me, and I wanna take advantage of that. I have some demos on my BandLab, you can check those out if you want.
Everything you hear on this track was recorded at the studio I used to intern at. Everything except for the synths at the start; those are recreations of sounds that my ears have made before. I don't know if it's tinnitus or what. That was its own track at some point titled "ear", before I put it on the beginning of this track, creating "eardrums" without me knowing.
It's a lo-fi, dynamic slowcore tune. It's raw, it's twinkly, it builds up, it gets pretty loud. It's not often I get to work with this many live instruments in one track so this was especially fun to work on.
**listens to Lil Uzi Vert once** is all I have to say about this track musically.
As for the lyrics, I got the idea for this track from one moment I had last year; I was sitting outside, it was fall, the sun was out, I felt its rays on my skin, and I just felt so happy to be living. It was literally as if said rays restored love and faith in myself.
I deal with a lot of self-pity, insecurity, internalized ableism, noisy OCD thoughts, almost daily. I've done a lot of growth, soul-searching, socializing, and self-examination these past two years. This track in a nutshell is about: 1, a yearn for growth, maturely, something which I often feel is out of my reach. But 2, at the same time, learning to love or at least embrace how fuckin' odd I am and how different I roll. On one hand I've done many, many regrettable shit that I never would've done as a neurotypical, but I've reached a conclusion where I believe my mental, emotional, and social quirks or **ahem…** """""shortcomings""""" (frizzes, as I call them), are a blessing just as much as they can feel like a curse.
I reference a quote by some guy named Groucho Marx, "Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light…", and that resonates with me so much. In a way, it's kind of awesome being a total weirdo, and having the opportunity to affect the world in angles which the "sane" or "typical" cannot. That's what I do this for.
It's too easy to hate (whether it be yrself or others), and I am *not* doing this for "easy". And sometimes it's little things like feeling the sun on my face that brings out those warm, hopeful, reinforcing feelings, ya dig?
