[Weekly Mix] 2023.02(4)

No Constraint

“'Doin’ Alright' feels like floating through a montage of moments from a past relationship from a 3rd person perspective. Some sweet and sentimental moments, others problematic in hindsight. The sounds, melodies, and harmonies feel like the space between the time of a heartbreak, and the present day having healed from it. The lyrics feel like the knowledge that you’ll never quite be the same, but probably in a good way."

Do U Mind?

What if I climbed back down off the table?
Stopped mouthing off to the kids around the neighborhood
Put it in park at the farm market parking lot
I eye em as they try to buy the fruits of their labor
White smoke pouring from a 4-door truck and the stereo’s stuck playing Smooth Operator
Reaching for your gun or your sticking out your tongue spitting sibilant scum I’m like “cool see you later”
But wow
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
Oh my wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
E-F-F-E-C-T pedal is it a signal chain maze or a short in the cable?
Alot of these songs might be long in the tooth like a phone booth dial tone smooth operator
Wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
