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:

I CRY (from Exhibition by Eight Two)

Lately when I get home

I have everything I need
So I don’t know why
I have yummy food to eat
I have a bed where I can go to sleep
I have things to do with my life
But I feel like crying
When I walk in the front door 

I am standing on an island
If you still want me 
Send me a message in a bottle

When I walk in the front door 
I break down
I sigh and fall on the floor
I don’t know what I’m crying for
I feel like dying
I don’t know what I’m living for
Do you feel like dying?
Do you know what you’re living for?

I cry...

My watch is a calculator
I’m pretty cool and astute
I’m kind of plain but my mind/brain is cute
Oh, yeah

Lately when I get home I cry
There are places in New York 
That I still haven’t been, and I want to be
Yeah but none of those places 
Are going to make me feel any better
And that’s out of tune by the way
I’m trying to be sad here 
This is about how I cry, you know 
And I really do cry
I fall down on the floor and cry

I am, standing on an island
If you still want me 
Send me a message in a bottle

I cry...

I am standing on an island
If you still want me 
Send me a message in a bottle

You send me

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.

I Cry
