Another game
Another circus to play
Another bet
Another happenstance that hasn't happened yet
Another regret
Another one
Another tryst, another fun

You want my love, then here's the key
Don't waste your misplaced energy
You got the taste, you want the course
Until your voice should be hoarse
You want it all
Til the castle walls will fall

You got me spinning round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down
Got me round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Turning around
Got me round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down
Got me round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down

Another game
Another circus to play
Another bet
Another happenstance that with someone I just met
Another regret
Another one
Another tryst, another fun

You want my love, then here's the key
Don't waste your misplaced energy
You got the taste, you want the course
Until your voice should be hoarse
You want it all
Til the castle walls will fall

You got me spinning round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down
Got me round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Turning around
Got me round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down
Got me round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round
Upside down

decorcy, jhl - round and round

A batch of songs about my friends that I largely wrote just over a year ago, but got stuck on like I often do :p This time though, i put my foot down and made a commitment to upload this EP no matter what. after 14 months of mixes changes, re-recording parts, fiddling w automation and some new bits, here we are!! for the longest time i really started to hate these tracks lol but im glad to finally take a step back from it :3 

these tracks capture my appreciation & gratitude for my close friends, our lil gang of rats, found family really :) when i started writing this, we were meeting as a group for the first time since high school, spread across the yew ess of A and all that. That separation taught me how much i value their friendships, and thus this ep wuz born :P its a weird one, messy & all over the place but i think its fun. i hope you do too :D

last thing, this whole year i have been making more music that i think i ever have actually... and theres a lot of it that i wanna share. some of it's coming soon after this, some of it much much later, but i figured u should know. thanks for yall's support in the long waits, i cherish it greatly :,3

its Wednesday evening, im sitting alone getting tipsy just by listening to jhl from MacBook Pro 14’ 2023 Apple M2 Pro speakers.
this is what i call A Sweet Melancholy.

♦

they say you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness and it has to be true because i’ve been struggling with taking my ears of “concertina” - a blissful, dreamful, beautiful, meaningful, peaceful, cheerful, eventful marathon of ballads about all the tastes of Longing.

you see, usually, A Song is an empty shell to fill with one's soul. the fundament of this album is a collection of The-Ultimate-Poppiest-Pop-Songs that have been heard and (over)used so many times they are not (and they can’t be [and maybe they should not be]) shells anymore - they became sonic monuments appropriated by Those Who Own.
[don’t get me wrong - part of the pop’s charm is the fact that it is not emotionally owned by you]
jhl builds their own story on this fucked up fundament and it’s a story so intimate and so earnest that listening through these covers feels like reading an autobiography or screaming the deepest of your lungs out into the sky. it feels deeply Real. it feels cathartic.

the sparkling piled up granuling granular granules of vibrant sound design, the scintillating symphonies, the tight punchy crunchy crispy drums, the biosphere of OSCs, the tender angelic cherubic smooth vocals, The Infatuations.

♦

as you grow old, you change! your music taste changes, your eyesight gets worse, your back starts aching and memories collected through the years change too! jhl covers transcend the originals. they give them a new meaning. they let you merge with civilizational memories embedded in them.
Beautiful, Powerful and Magical - that’s what that album is
🥀

ps Owl City had a nice track with Carly Rea Jepson for ‘Wreck It Ralph’ - that album brought it back to my queue
