I threw 2 Valentine's Day parties back to back and I am ready to be renounced as Party Animal (I even skipped school oops). In between parties, I did manage to squeeze in a little time on Valentine's Day to start making this song, and then finished today.
It's slightly inspired by one of the activities:
I promise that was the first 14 words the random word generator gave! No one seemed to believe me. It's not my fault that they just all happen to work so greatly perfectly well for a love letter?? (Well, except "cattle")
I’m sorry I didn’t have time to read
How you went on and on about my face symmetry
Could you just summarize
Or put the cliff notes online
This love letter’s kind of long
This love letter’s kind of long
I’d read it but
You’d fall out of love
Before I’m done
I L Y
X O X
But is there any meaning
To this text
I L Y
You’re the best
Thing since
Sliced bread
But I know how to use a knife
And I doubt you even thought twice
Never-ending line
From the tip of your pen
I’m patient, as in I don’t mind
If I never get to read it
You should’ve just gone online
Random word generator’s got better lines
Than the way you're trying to squeeze and fit wrong definitions
Here I’ll give it a try
14 words
You could call it a poem
Pull
multiply
Vague
Cattle
Sport
Tolerant
Lend
Sex
Fill
Residence
Guess
Demonstrate
Costume
Cope
Now let’s see what you wrote
This love letter’s kind of long
This love letter’s kind of long
I’d read it but
You’d fall out of love
Before I’m done
Where’s the Cliff Notes?
Where’s the after-show?
Where’s the part
Where’s your heart
Paraphrased
In the margins
On my apartment wall
With crayons
Hired preschoolers
Don’t have enough hands
To write all those words
I’m sure their parents
Wouldn’t mind
Them writing how you want your hands
On my body
But instead they’re stuck to pencils
Every writing utensil
Your mind never stops moving
There’s never something you’re not doing
If you’d just take a breath
If you’d just reminisce
Maybe you could paraphrase
So I'd know what the hell you’re trying to say
This love letter’s kind of long
This love letter’s kind of long
I’d read it but
You’d fall out of love
Before I’m done

Great vocals, and killer lyrics! I really enjoyed this. And hey, being a party animal is an awesome thing. ;)
Such a fun track. Great job!
@quork Feb 2022
Yeah. This is deadly. Keep doing this.
@iwilleatyou Feb 2022
Ah yes, here you are. Party animal? haha. riiiiiight. Nobody showed up to your parties, just admit it. Man you and your dad get me scratching my head as to how you come up with your song structures. It's got this magic mushroom free flow. I love it.

Love the combo of video type sounds and that distorted guitar and bass. Lots of energy
@nadine Feb 2022
Your attitude is such a pleasure to listen to. Such a fresh prompt on pop music with a touch of punk. I can imagine the fun you had. And yes the random word generator write better poem than some other people. Lol
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
Love. This. It reminds me of Metric. The vocals are playful yet sultry, and that beat is amazing. Fantastic work, you two!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
The 14 word poem is... something, isn't it? "Cattle"?!?!
Anyway that bass groove is GREAT and the energy to the track is fun. The hook on "This love letter's kind of long" where you do the melisma on "long" is wonderful -- tone painting for the win!
