Feb 2022 lo-fi full-production acoustic singer-songwriter emo indie
from the moment i wrote this song i was dreaming about how it would sound fully produced. in my head my mission statement was having it sound like a "chastity belt" song. idk if i exactly captured that but i do really like it. it feels like it gets a mood and takes you someplace when you listen to it. one of my favorites this year for sure.
have fun NOT being gay
that's what the t-shirt said
in our heads
laughing out loud for a few minutes
before we got distracted by the drinks in our hands
the lions peppermints in my pocket like they've
been the last 6 months
the way that single strand of your hair sticks to your forehead
the way my eyes respond to it
you could draw me like one of your french girls
and probably do it justice
spend a little too much time on my boobs
but i like it
you know i can't help but see the little things
i've counted 12 spiders since we've been out here
i can't help it
and both of our knees are shaking in our seats
you look up suddenly and i catch your smile
you say "have fun NOT being gay"
laughing as i get another drink

Really good descriptions of details in the lyrics. As you sing about these you sing about much more which isn‘t mentioned, but it‘s there between the lines. I like that.
Great music delivery!

Intriguing lyrics. I liked the vocal delivery, sort of dreamy, wondering, imagining. That little guitar riff catches the ear. Nice work.

I like the little details in the lyrics, and the understated emotion. Musically, this chugs along in a produced yet intimate way. I like that call-and-response guitar riff a lot.

A lot to like here! The way the vocals and rhythm section interlock reminds me of late XTC. That's a great guitar riff overlay. The thought you put in paid off for sure
