INTERVIEW

This song is about having difficult conversations and asking for what you need. 

Lyrics:
Did you know that magic needs a habit? 
And this habit needs a place to go
Did you know that borders make the fabric? 
Did you know that hunters need the rabbit just as much as I need you?

You wanna ruin my heart? 
Then run my soul
You gotta place to be? Oh, is it or is it not with me? 

Did you know fire lead to rivers?
Did you know solitude needs all of what we have to give and know?

You wanna move my heart?
Then ruin my soul
You want my mind and body? 
Then you need my whole self too
No I won't ask for nothin' more than you say you have but you need to

Come to the table and sit with me

Mother Market is my second single as a solo artist. 

Co-produced by myself and Chicago’s unofficial DIY archivist Chris Lee (Young Camelot, Dark Circles Records), Mother Market examines the role neoliberalism and economic language as a dominant cultural lens in American Society. The album was initially written, recorded, and defended as my master’s thesis at DePaul University.

Lyrics
Mother Market may I have a slice
Other boys and girls aren’t playing nicely
It’s my turn to make a buck or two
I’m not concerned, my foot is in the other shoe

Read the manifest, It’s my destiny
Trust me, I know best, can’t you see my phD
I believe in God, she’s the Economy
Mother Market, take good care of me

Do you understand my legalese?
I float electric dollars through h the eth-er
While atlas shrugged, I turned a trick or two
The masses drugged, this story isn’t new

Read the manifest, It’s my destiny
Trust me, I know best, can’t you see my phD
I believe in God, she’s the Economy
Mother Market, take good care of me

The strongest player wins
Now let the games begin

Thank you mother market
I have a beamer and I park it
In my four car garage (repeat until end)
Thank you Mother Market (repeat until end)
