you used to be so gentle and kind
now there’s a monster inside you
you’re not sure what’s all up in your mind
you’re in need of a breakthrough

now you want someone to fix you
when you know what needs to be done
and you say you’re not the issue
have you thought about growing up?
well.. no
shsh good talk

you’re bringing everyone down
“i need to sound”
you say as you’re breaking all the doors and windows
nobody cares about
your stories and doubts
you're breaking your house with every little missile

and even i don’t know why
you obsess over everything
and even i don’t know why
you’re talking to yourself like you’re not me
it’s a fear of confrontation
i cant even keep one conversation
maybe that’s why (why!)
maybe that's why i don’t see invitations

now you want someone to fix you
when you know what needs to be done
and you say you’re not the issue
have you thought about growing up?
i mean no
exactly that's what i thought

its a good talk when you don’t talk
thoughts and shots start then they don’t stop
shh its a good talk when you don’t talk
thoughts and shots start then they don’t stop ayyy

Good talk

An introverted guy that has a way with words, Marshall-stacked guitar tones, and a sophisticated Nashville storytelling fare—that is American multi-instrumentalist David Russell.

Born July 3, 2000, in Nashville, Tennessee, David was raised in a musical family, collaborating with his sister, Emmy Russell, and grandmother, Loretta Lynn. His father introduced him to key influences like Tom Petty and the Ramones.

On Christmas Day 2016, David began uploading original songs to SoundCloud, influenced by bands like Modern Baseball & Weezer. These songs have been self-released as part of his annual “Summer Hiatus” compilations. He didn’t fit into Nashville, but he often attended and hosted DIY shows.

After relocating to New York City in 2020, David formed the alternative bands that gained traction in 2022 with a 52-week residency at the Bitter End. In 2023, producer Billy Mannino (Oso Oso, Macseal) worked with the him and his band on their track “Breaking Down & Feeling Low,” released two years later under Doolittle on their debut EP Secret Saturday. In 2024, David joined Nordista Freeze on his tour, which motivated David to distribute his music, previously exclusively on SoundCloud.

In 2025, David released 200 songs and formed alternative band Doolittle with Nordista Freeze, Michael Massiah, Gemma Guttenberg, & Jason Ruiz. The upcoming Summer Hiatus ‘25 proves songwriting is his trade, doubling down on what he knows best — anthemic choruses and a memoir style penmanship.
