A Song About Music

Hey y'all, here's a song!  It's about 90s music, and how I got into it.  With some metaphory stuff.  Turned out to be waaaayyyyy shorter than I thought, but I feel like if I bullshat a bunch more verses, it would just get repetitive.

Also, this whole process of recording and uploading this thing has been rife with technical difficulties, soooooo anything you don't like about it, chalk it up to that.


Since my singing voice is stupid-hard to understand (hey, I'm no Aretha Franklin), here's the lyrics.

It started at my school; the chick who looked like Slash
She played the drums to System of a Down
My branches grew from there

I came down with the sickness
But I was brought to life

Offspring, my skatepunk jams; a town that swallows lives
I'm not a fan of sand; a camp for suicides
Oh Stan, why you so mad
Just to try to understand

Jump ahead to school, do not pass GO
There was a Serbian boy who brought me to Nirvana
There's writing on the walls

Jimmy gave me my feelings
They're both inside this box

Our lady Alice of peace; her chains and garden jams
Marilyn's abyss; together ever since
And it stared back at me
And it stared lovingly

Now let's play Spot The Reference!

And by "let us", I mean you do that.

I don't wanna play with you.

That's right.  I heard the stories.

Very special thanks to Tyler Priest, without whom this project would not be possible!  He does music too and he does it better than me, so go check it out right nnaaooooooooo!
