Wedding Song

Last Of Our Kind

Running Is A Song [1]

I used these jangly nuts that rattle for the rhythm part, I think they are from Mexico. I wanted to evoke the longing of a houseplant that sits by the window and dreams of being outside, in the soil that connects it to every other plant on earth, but does not know that out there it is winter, and all the plants are frozen or dormant. I take good care of my houseplants, but they are hard to please.

LYRICS:

EIGHT TWO MINUS THREE


Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight

No way to find it, ’cause it is the way

Skyline silhouette
Yellow brick mode
Turning inside on the insight
There’s an upside drowning 
Of diving deep down
Close the rubber wet suit all over 
For electric diving school
Drown me gently for international teatime
Take these pills to feel sane
But hallucinations drug free that’s insanity
Pills to feel sane
Pills to feel sane
Feel sane, feel sane, to-to–to–feel sane
You’re too wonderful
You’re too wonderful
You’re too wonderful
Too wonderful

Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two 

No way to find it, ’cause it is the way

Love if you're willing, you can make me 
Love if you're willing, you can make me 
Love if you're willing, you can make me
Love if you're willing, you can make me clean!
 
Let the eighth sea tow me under 
Go with the eighth sea love tide undertow
Let the eighth sea tow me under
Yeah . . . under under under under
Let the eighth sea tow me under
Go with the eighth sea love tide undertow

Oh yeah
Want to listen to everybody
Does everybody want to be permanently distracted?
Want to learn

Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight

We know that we deserve to win
We know that we may never win
We know that we deserve
We know that we may never

Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight
Eight two eight two eight two

Consider the Crown

Hey, I'm Eight Two (they/them)—a nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent genre fluid singer-songwriter and self-taught visual artist carving out my own space in the world of art rock. My journey began in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn in 2008, where I found solace and inspiration in the power of music.

As a multi-instrumentalist, my primary tools are the guitar and my voice, weaving together melodies that speak to the soul. From thought-provoking philosophical musings to uplifting motivational anthems, my songs are a reflection of my quest for creativity, connection, and meaning.

Despite navigating the world without social media or a phone, I'm here to share my sonic journey with you. Whether you're a fellow oddball, a seeker of truth, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, there's a place for you in my musical universe.

So join me on this adventure as I craft my next album, fueled by authenticity, vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart. Together, let's explore the depths of our creativity, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically ourselves.
