hello all,
i write to you from the past - the evening of march 18th, 2024.
this is the night before my new single “it could be anything” is out in the world. the song features my friends bennett littlejohn (bass) and mari maurice (violin). this one took a few years to write and many trial-error recording variations to arrive in the form that you’ll listen to it in. many emotional evenings spent both in anger and sadness inform the lyrical content on this track. i’m not sure really how to sell it to you but .. as a song of a jealous lover (?). part truth, part story i invented, part stories i’ve heard.
this whole album announcement business has me dizzy lately. the importance placed on what time these announcements hit the public, the type of information included in these reveals and so on … i am tired. and not to get all LOTR on you but ‘I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.’ ~ iykyk ~ i am tired of begging for attention but at the same time have such a distorted idea of how much or little attention is being placed on / given to me. i feel selfish but at the same time feel like so much work has been done on my end and i am deserving of a larger “break” than the one i am getting. this “break” could be a literal time-off period from working OR the sudden surge in popularity and all the trappings of success etcetc. i’m not sure how much i desire or deserve either thing though. like i said - distorted mind.
anyways, here it is, in the highest or lowest fidelity: it could be anything
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music | and 100 other places i am sure
LYRICS:
Do you ever think about what im doin
When he's doing you
cause i do
Maybe just hanging around
Maybe just blacking out til i feel okay
First its cheers at the bar
In the bathroom there it starts
Tongue-filled mouths in the dark
Drunk with him in your apartment
Mental blasts of the best parts
Back when the apartment was yours and mine
Trying not to visualize your skin by candlelight
While he gets what he needs
First its cheers at the bar
In the bathroom there it starts
Voices crack in the dark
Is it self destruction or pure of heart
This is not your problem
This is not your fault
This is just me trying to stay involved

just a reminder that i am touring this spring, both in the states and uk / europe. in the fall canada, hopefully europe, and some other new places too.
You can purchase TICKETS HERE
you can order records, cds, hats, and probably some other shit that will get thrown into a landfill if it doesn’t sell once the record deal is up HERE.
((did you know that’s how it works?? i had no idea))

From the bottom of my bruised and egotistical heart - demand a ceasefire in Palestine. beg anyone you can to demand for a ceasefire. support those trying to escape, live within, and cope with the ongoing genocide that isr4el is responsible for alongside the aiding and complicit united states government.
okay okay. enough from me,
cr
looking forward to the canadian tour dates!!
Excellent song! Looking forward to the album.
