Party Of One!

by @anthonykapfer

Liner Notes

i've started writing about 4 new songs that i haven't been able to finish, so today i started from scratch and wrote a simple (sad) party song.

(this is what i did instead of watching the superbowl)

i recorded the whole song, then i had a giant glass of red wine and recorded the guitar solo. so this song is authentic.

#garage #indie #powerpop

Lyrics

i think i think i'm gonna have a drink by myself

i'm getting tipsy but i don’t need nobody else

i’m telling you what i'm gonna do cause you don’t need me and i don’t need you, no!

i think i think i’m gonna have a drink by myself

well, i’m drinking alone

i don't need no more friends today cause i got jim beam and jack is on his way

Right on. This is super fun. The energy is infectious and you're sounding carefree here. I kept replaying the "intro" just to figure out what the heck you did. Cool idea to almost "play" the outrageous slap effect like an instrument. I enjoy indulging in a beer-fueled FAWM night from time to time. The little vocal stabs are wonderful; The solo and the circulating vocals towards the end sound awesome. I was reminded of Michel Gondry's short film "Pecan Pie."

Rocking, amusing lyrics, really cool vocal effects all throughout, has a drinking alone party air.

The crazy slap-back on the vocals just highlights the manic feeling of the whole thing. This will definitely be my anthem for drinking alone. I feel like it conveys the sort of quiet depression that can accompany that; of course maybe I'm just reading into it because that's my experience when I drink alone.

Rokkin right out of the gate. Love the vocal delivery. Gotta say, I didn't even know it was Superbowl time. I always find out about these things once they're done. Because I am not a sports person. Unless that sport is drinking alone, then I'm all in. Yeah, lovely mosquito guitar solo. A real banger here for sure.

Loving the staccato, stuttering vocal delivery on this one. And the manic, wine-fuelled soloing. Also love how (to my ears) you’ve managed to strike a balance between the pathos of solo drinking and the sense of fun and liberation of it. Not sure I’ve phrased that v well, so will just sign off with some 🤘 and a big well done on this one!

Oh this is a level of idagf punk rawk I can deeply resonate with lol. I'm doing the same on Super Bowl Sunday, minus the vino. This is an absolute tune. Loved it.
