"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

"I really loved Ariana Grande's “thank u, next” when it came out and I identify strongly with the lyrics. I’ve had a lot of relationships that didn't work out and as a result, I got to learn more about myself. 

I thought it would be fun to record this with a punk rock ethos:  sung by a guy about the boys it didn’t work out with. 
I was also inspired by Amy Winehouse’s cover of “Valerie," - that influenced the production approach. 

Everybody already knows the great Ariana original and I didn’t want to try to sound like her, it was important to put my own spin on it. 

Why not wear a vintage wrestling singlet and twerk upside down on the wall for the video? I think we all could use a good old fashioned ass-shaker."

Lyrics:
Thought I'd end up with Sean
But he wasn't a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
'Cause he was an angel
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
Say I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I  see
So, look what I  got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I  say
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so fuckin'
Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon' last
'Cause her name is Ari
And I'm so good with that (so good with that)
She taught me love (love)
She taught me patience (patience)
How she handles pain (pain)
That shit's amazing (yeah, she's amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching, and for that, I  say
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking
One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I'll be thanking my dad
'Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash (song is a smash)
I've got so much love (love)
Got so much patience (patience)
I've learned from the pain (pain)
I turned out amazing (turned out amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I'll say
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next

thank u, next [Ariana Grande Cover]

Mike1/2Nelson (aka Mike Half Nelson, aka Mike, aka, half, aka MHN) is a singer, songwriter and actor. He grew up in a small Iowa town of 4,000 people. At 19, he moved to Los Angeles to become a legend. What becomes a legend most? Mike learned that film noir was a motif that would permeate his entire experience and understanding of the city of Angels. He subsequently traveled to New York City to attend The New School and Columbia University. Mike's engaging dance with the devil followed him to the city that never sleeps - where his love affairs with drug addicts, prostitutes, and scoundrels colored and shaped the music he wanted to create. A love of songwriting was the one thing that continually saved him from the brink of despair and disaster. 
Mike attended a Caribbean medical school, thinking perhaps - as a doctor, he could cure his opiate-addicted lover from himself. He was wrong. One semester in, he left the island breeze to further pursue his love of music. 
Mike1/2Nelson has spent years as part of New York’s alternative comedy/queer theater scene but is best known for performing in Tony Award winner Liz Swados’s final musical theater piece, The Nomad. Although his music has been featured in a web series, the 2019 Joshua Tree Pride Festival, and several stages along the East coast, his first official release, All Are Welcome will be out this 2020. 
Mike1/2Nelson (aka Mike Half Nelson, aka Mike, aka, half, aka MHN) is known for his distinct singing voice, relatable, catchy hooks and knowing, bittersweet lyrics. He has taken the lessons from the proverbial School of Hard Knocks and turned them into an anthemic disco-rock-muscle car of an EP.
