Sometime before now, I was in the studio with a friend of mine who also writes songs for a living. As often happens when songwriters hang out, we were trading tunes. He would play one on the guitar, then I would play one. Back and forth…back and forth into the LA night. Eventually I played a song and my buddy asked me, “What inspired you to write that?” I told him it was the story of a relationship I used to have, mixed up with some things I’d just plain imagined. He looked in my eyes deeply, and in a tone that made the words seem of more than ordinary significance, he said, 

“Why don’t you just tell the truth?” 

That night I started this project. 

I Took a Pill in Ibiza, Buried in Detroit, Be As You Are, and Not That Simple are four songs selected from my upcoming album. They are best listened to the way they were written: at night, and alone. I hope you enjoy.

lyrics:

(verse 1)
i need emotion novocaine
i need a numbing of my brain
i need something 
to take away 
the remains of ur name

i need amnesia for a day
& an umbrella for the rain
that hasn't gone away
since u said u didn't need me

lately, 
been thinking maybe
there's a place we
won't feel so crazy

then in a hazy
mid-morning daydream
i found a shady
spot that they saved me

they said

(hook)
come be the newest member of 
the broken hearts club
we hate every little thing
about the people that we loved
we’re the let down, we’re the lied to
where the lost go
when it finds u
where the lonely,
make the lonely,
feel less lonely
& we’re dying to
invite u to stay
& take away the pain
cuz misery loves company 
so hey, what do u say?

(verse 2)
& at first i wasn't sure
if there's even a cure
for what i'm feeling cuz what i'm feeling’s
been feeling more & more absurd
the repeating in my head
of every last word that u said
feels like ever since u left
u still won't leave me

& lately, 
been thinkin maybe
there might be a place we
won't feel so crazy

for changing 
the way u made me
& in a daydream,
i let them save me

(hook)
i'm the newest member of 
the broken hearts club
we hate every little thing
about the people that we loved
we're the let down, we're the lied to
where the lost go
when it finds u
where the lonely,
make the lonely,
feel less lonely 
& we’re dying to
invite u to stay
& take away the pain
cuz misery loves company 
so hey, what do u say?

(bridge)
i guess
if u can't beat 'em join 'em
that's what they always say
let's go inside, let's coincide, 
& all commiserate

singing

(hook)
we're the newest members
of the broken hearts club
we still feel pretty lonely 
& we wish we didn't but
we're the newest of 
the broken hearts club
& we all kinda hate it
but it's easier than love
singing
we're the newest members
of the broken hearts club
& we still feel pretty lonely 
& we wish we didn't but
we're the newest of 
the broken hearts club
& we all kinda hate it
but it's easier than love
