Liner Notes

#rock #alternative #indie #singersongwriter

this is a fun one i think. I like it anyway. I've been trying to be more positive recently, as much as possible. Grateful for what I have and where I'm at in life. so this is just some positive affirmation i guess.

Lyrics

i forgot what i looked like i lost sight of myself rearview mirrors couldn’t help make me closer than i appear

the undercurrent here would dictate we’re alone even when we’re not but that’s not how this works we’ve proven our best days are simpler than we thought

i just want the good stuff i want you to know what i look like when i’m laughing i want you to see i’m alive and i enjoy things i’m being myself for the hell of it

sometimes a single word can mean everything

Fuck around until you find out In a good way and Laugh out loud

i just want the good stuff i want you to know what i look like when i’m laughing i want you to see i’m alive and i enjoy things i’m being myself for the hell of it

Loved the lyrics / vocals. The guitar melody is choice. The drums, though... Such a well-written drum part! This song has heart, in both the lyrical theme AND the drums.

I really enjoyed this.

“i want you to know / what i look like when i’m laughing”

I really needed these songs. I’m so glad you’re writing them.

Yes!! Okay, the way the track builds around the first "I'm being myself for the hell of it" just brings me so much joy. The guitar playing cheered me up this morning. "I'm being myself for the hell of it" is such a great lyric, too. So, so nicely done.

Great lyrics here. Somehow remind me of the late 90's british pop and rock lyrics. Just something about how you write here is very evocative. With refining of the sounds used here this could sound like a massive stadium rock anthem!

Great sounds happening here, really original and groovy. Loving this one so much! Bravo!🙌

Brilliant. Builds so beautifully and has a wonderful humanity to it. Your voice is perfect for this. It feels like a hit single to me.

I love the groove in this, sucks me right in, and the vocals are stellar!

"I'm being myself for the hell of it" is such a great sentiment! This is a really fun track.

I don't know what it is about your guitar playing, but when I hear it I feel it's you. If that makes sense. You have a style, maybe a sound? I don't know if I'd recognize it on the radio or anything but there's something I love about it. There's a rhythm here that is great. I can't sit still while listening. The chorus melody is catchy. That rise in melody on 'look like' and the phrasing it creates before the end of the line is delicious. I love how it pairs with the final line of the chorus. Good one.
