Name: Was Icarus ft Lauren Mateo by CubeOfCheese
Duration: 2 min 17 s
Description: With a poetic narrative, Lauren Mateo sings of a love that could be, but wasn’t, while she is accompanied with jazzy bass, melodic piano, and a guitar solo. Drawing inspiration from the sounds of Adele and Peggy Lee, “Was Icarus” was written to be elegant, catchy, and full of meaning.

Thurlian (Acoustic Piano Version) played by Mikos Da Gawd

Bathing in my ignorance for the next 30 minutes, oh
Everything I love will fade away when I sober up so
What's the point of going on at all
To become an adult
Really
Worse versions of the same shit
What a shity incentive
I'd rather take the fall
I'll bask in my ignorance for the next 25 minutes or so
My eyes are bloodshot cheeks have a reddish glow 
Close the door to my room 
Tell them not to exhume
I need a breather I don't want to see them so soon
Swimming in my ignorance for the last 20 minutes of this trip
Waving my goodbyes so sick of this shit
So I'm at home 
How to atone 
For tonight 
I'm alone 
Maybe I'll just cry or figure out why 
I want to forget all that's known
Diving deeper and deeper till I can't breathe
Lock more and more doors till I can't leave
It's 10 minutes till
I drink 600 mLs
Manage not to spill a drop
The top dropped without wheels my heads lost
A lost cause slipping on banana peels
Cliche in a new way
Same water in a new wave
And it's the same sun shining on a different day

12.Melt Freeze

She’s got Nirvana on her playlist 
No Taylor Swift on her playlist 
She’s got Tame Impala on her playlist 
No top 40 shit on her playlist

I know it’s cliche 
To bond over shared music tastes 
But she’s enthralled me 
Cuz’ she likes BBNG

(But she’s enthralled me 
Cuz’ she likes Kid A as much as me)

I know it’s trite 
To say “Radiohead’s tight.” 
But she has my heart in her hands 
Cuz’ we like the same bands

(I know it’s trite 
To bond over things that we like 
But she has my heart of her hands 
Cuz’ she likes jazz)

She has Nirvana on her playlist 
She has Tame Impala on her playlist 
She has Frank Sinatra on her playlist 
She has Kendrick Lamar on her playlist 
She has my album on her playlist

Lyrics:
Nothin' fancy, no frills doll
All I want is to know you

Chorus:
So this valentine's, let's stay in
and get 1/2 off chocolates on the 15th ;)
or, this valentine's, let's go out--
but have some fun for free, Bonnie and Clyde style

Verse 2:
What are the things that push your buttons?
'cause I'll learn 'em like the back of my hand
What are your deepest, darkest secrets 'cause I'll leave 'em in my heart as we drive through Vegas
What are the compositions that give you deja vu? 
and the poems that spark the fire in you?
What are the books that keep you up 'til two in the morning?

Chorus

Post:
I love you that much (88000x)

This Valentine's

I am a musician, not an instrument player.  Instruments are just the tools I use.
