Done Falling In Love ~ Kado

i spent quarantine alone locked inside a tiny guest house in beverlywood, los angeles.  the space was cramped, but the saving grace of the place was a private little outdoor patio which i begrudgingly shared with the worlds largest population of crickets, or, as i like to call them, croquets.

i woke up everyday and spent my daylight hours grinding online poker - playing 3-4 tables at a time nonstop.  i’d eat breakfast while playing poker.  workout while playing poker.  call my family while playing poker.  the sun would set, and i’d close out the tables and walk down the tiny hall into my tiny bedroom studio, where i’d write and record until the sun came up, and then do it all over again.  for 8 months.  just me and the croquets. 

when i started working on this album, my life was a mess.  i was navigating a potential breakup with my girlfriend of 9 years.  i was on the verge of quitting poker after an extended brutal stretch.  i hadn’t written a song, or even stepped into the studio in ages. i was an irritable, miserable, downtrodden shell of myself.

things have changed a lot since i moved out of that little house.  my (then) girlfriend came out to los angeles with me.  we moved together into a (less tiny) house.  poker provided me with a level of stability and comfort for the first time in my adult life.  oh, and my (then) girlfriend?  we’re engaged.

i don’t really have much in common with the person who started this journey in music more than a dozen years ago.  my tastes have evolved.  my priorities have shifted.  while i’ll always be writing, recording or creating in some form or fashion - this feels like the end of the road for “marc goone”.

still - it seemed fitting to put this album out into the world before turning the page on a new chapter.  this album that saved my life.  this album that i worked on every night for 8 months in that tiny house in beverlywood, all while my little co-inhabitants caused quite the ruckus on that wonderful little patio.    this one is called, “croquet”.  it’s out now everywhere.  i hope you enjoy <3

Lyrics:  It ain’t tricking
Baby girl, I got it
And you know I keep my man’s on go
New whip, I ain’t worried bout the mileage
Skrt skrt then I’m gone
So many fits that I’m starting act childish
I don’t think that I’m a ever go broke
Momma told I should em with the kindness
So I gotta stay nice with the flow

Yeah I pull up to the scene then I roll up a swisher
Got me feeling like a geek how I count up the digits
Yeah you got a little buzz, in a year it go missing
Don’t nobody care about em, I can’t name one single
Rappers ain’t on my level
It’s been that way for a minute
When you step up on the stage all I hear is the crickets
All you up and coming dummies need to handle your business
I been burning blunts while you keep on burning your bridges
Yeah, they treat me like a god
I’m not even religious
I won’t ease up once
No not even a smidgen
The kids vicious
VVS applying the pressure
Yeah, you know I’m nice
You gone have to start to admit it
All these rappers came and went while I stuck through the thick of it
I was grinding every minute while the money was trickling
Tryna emulate celebrities you see on the internet
That ain’t something you should flex, you should act for a living then
You keep on faking it like you in first place
That’s gone get you bout as far as paying double my verse rate
Yeah
I got flows for days
Your Charlie chocolate candy ass couldn’t ever be blaze
Now it’s come to my attention
They doubted me for a second
I articulated everything to go as intended
I’m popping way up in Canada all the way out to Finland
While you struggling to get someone to listen
