this was the first song i ever listened to from jmpb and god its good 

"I'm Not Crazy" is loosely based on the hit Netflix TV show "Heartstopper", specifically aiming to portray Charlie's point of view. The song is bright and upbeat, and uses a pulsing baseline and synths to tell the story of a boy crushing on a boy, without knowing if they share the same sexuality. The song stays lighthearted until the end, where you get a bigger dive into what your mind goes through when you're constantly falling for straight men.

Lyrics:
I’ll tell you a story
Of blood, guts, and glory
And all that was lost on the way
There was nothing to do
And nowhere to run
There was nothing that I could say

Are the dust in my eyes enough
To tell me what to do
And the bullet you left in my thigh
Well I’m giving it back to you
It wasn’t always that easy, no
It wasn’t always that slow
I just thought you’d like to know this time
I just thought you’d like to know

And did you tell your mother what you did to me that day
Oh when she asked you where you found success
Did you simply turn away
I’m coming for you now
And I’m coming for her too
And when you’re in the ground
Well maybe I’ll be done with you

It wasn’t always that easy
No it wasn’t always that slow
And when the gun was cocked
And when the bullet was set
Well there was nowhere left to go
It wasn’t always that easy
No it wasn’t always that slow
I just thought you’d like to know this time
I just thought you’d like to know

And was I wrong
Was it fated from the start
Or did I stand a chance at all
Here I’ll wait inside a bar for that proverbial hammer to fall
And he’s coming for me now
Oh he’s coming for her too
And when we’re in the ground

Ground

Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards is an American multi-genre ensemble founded by Johnny Manchild (composition, production, vocals, keys). Since its founding in 2016, the band took the internet by storm, with a unique conundrum of jazz idioms, ska, alt-rock, world music, and funk that prompted even Anthony Fantano himself (known as “The Only Music Critic Who Matters” by the NYT) ask “what gives them the right to be this good? ”

The Bastards have since answered that question, drawing from a dedicated and thriving fanbase that is bound together by a deep love of music, lyricism, engineering and sonic exploration. From their hometown of Oklahoma City to the global stage, each release has been a marked discovery not just for the fans, but the Poor Bastards themselves. 

With 25+ million streams, 4 albums, and new sonic horizons to be crossed, the Poor Bastards have morphed into a collective of sorts with as many as 10 collaborators (affectionately “Bastards”) in regular rotation, with Johnny Manchild at the helm.
