Hipsters give me the blues (2007)
This was the first song I wrote to a Sureshot Symphony beat. This was about a party I went to with a female friend of mine. We were waiting for somebody at One-Elleven Minna so we could hit up some
party. We end up snorting a gram of coke in the alley straight out the bag, and got on a real good hype. All night she kept telling me “you’re perfect, you’re just so perfect, and it’s not the drugs talking, I’ve always thought you were perfect.” I didn’t have anything to say about it, and couldn’t really decide whether it was nice or the worst thing anyone had ever said to me. Finally the girl we were waiting for rolled up, and all of a sudden I went from being perfect, to being completely ignored the rest of the night. We get to this amazing apartment in Soma and it’s full to the brim with the super-cool types who were probably either going to The Academy of Art, or already graduated from there. I spent the whole night wandering around by myself, watching people put on a show of dancing to gangster rap songs from the 90’s. The only words I really heard from my friend the rest of the night was her asking if there was any coke left when I walked out of the bathroom, and then looking at me like I was a burdon when I said it was gone.
May Sunshine (2005)
I didn’t write this song. My friend sat down at the computer, pressed record and I just started singing, it was all off the top of my head. But it has a cohesive theme, about hating yourself for how awful you treat someone who loves you and who you love, a really candid apology.
