“i know what you’re doing because i do it myself”
“hurry up future but also
stay like these clear cool
mid june skies a bit
longer please”
some more ideas i’ve made
for when you post something
and then you spend
ages picking the right music
the right part or section
i do anyway
these were recorded at vibe
mostly live, as a band
asked a drummer,
bassist & guitarist
to learn the parts so
we could play them
i was playing guitar
plus all the production
the identities of the
other three musicians
will never be revealed
always influenced by
ride, mbv, diiv, interpol
yo la tengo, the chameleons
plus; cindy lee, leon vynehall,
chaos in the cbd & cass elliot
it’s on spotify + the rest too
they’re still all only 1 minute long
“still in the box never
been used”
on your way from a to b
see something you kind of predicted but couldn’t do anything about. it still makes it stick in your head though
and you think about it every
single day
“coming second”
something i’d never experienced
before really, not within
reason at least
so used to getting your
own way and then it’s like
oh right, ok
“coke zero”
i knew it was a bad idea but
its difficult to do something
about it after a while
hopefully it’ll be a thing
of the past eventually
just need to keep reminding
myself it is for the best
“a muted story”
you try really hard but
the stupid shit is what
you’re in danger of being
known for instead of
the shit you want
to be known for
and then you start
thinking the worst
“fuckin around on an
acoustic”
you feel bad about it
but then you realise everyone
else does it
until you start to change
your habits and do what
makes yourself, yourself
“00ff00”
it couldn’t be anyone else
except for me though really
years and years have gone into
it up to this point in
hope it counts for more than
just something on the surface
“fake phone wallpaper”
all that time and all that
effort for actually nothing
but at least i’m not that bad
and i suppose the reality
might not have lived up
to it anyway
“pulling over to reply”
i just don’t understand it
is it really just me?
am i impatient or am i
just half way down
languishing about?
“hardly ever check this”
not everybody can apply the
effort required to be the
person that they really are
so they have to pretend and
when they do pretend
who do they think they
are even fooling?
“six but says seven”
it’s been a very long time
and now the longer
it goes on, eventually
it’ll be longer like this
than it was the way it
used to be
and i’m checking
regularly
“1ai1a”
i’m still glad i experienced it
i learnt somethings
but ultimately
i knew what the outcome was
going to be, again
“the best pizza ever”
it’s like guilt mixed with
zoned out sadness - not for me
but for whoever i’m with in
those situations that are
meant to be nice and happy
it’ll probably be like this
forever now so i relive
times and places and
occassions in all sorts of
weird ways
