“Reasons Why You Should Love Me”
A vintage soul confession wrapped in cinematic elegance.
Waltzing through lace-bound memories, poetic flaws, and midnight longing, this ballad is for the romantics out of time — the ones who love deeply, imperfectly, and beautifully.
Think strings, soft light, and a voice that aches like old film.

If you've ever been a storm in silk or a quiet heart in a loud world — this song is for you.

Reasons Why You Should Love Me

(Retro Pop Elegance – 3/4 waltz tempo)

[Verse 1]
Because I wear perfume no one can name
And cry at the endings no one else claims
I dance in my kitchen like I’m on stage
In slippers and secrets I never outgrew

[Verse 2]
Because I keep letters tied up in lace
From lovers who left but still haunt this place
I dream in old movies and black-and-white grace
And believe that a promise can still come true

[Chorus]
So if you're looking for reason or rhyme
To love a girl a little out of time
Here I am, bruised and blooming slow
With a heart too deep, and nowhere to go
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
That burns through velvet and waits in line?

[Verse 3]
Because I’ll forgive what I never forget
And laugh like a dare when my eyes get wet
I’ll read your silence like cigarette ash
And write you in lyrics I haven’t sung yet

[Chorus]
So if you're counting the stars and flaws
Still wondering if I'm worth the cost
Here I am, soft where the world gets mean
In lace and longing, somewhere between
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
A storm in silk, a kiss in time?

[Bridge]
You don’t need a reason carved in stone
Sometimes, love is a house with the lights left on

[Final Chorus]
So if you’re tired of less-than-true
Of hollow hands and skies too blue
Here I am, a midnight bloom
A question mark in a crowded room
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
A rare old song, just slightly out of line?

LYRICS
It’s always the same as always
It’s a game that we play, no one’s safe

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Does sex even sell any more?
I feel like I’ve seen it all
Or maybe I’m just old
Or maybe I’m just bored

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Cuz this world makes a lot of noise for me 
Makes it hard for me to hear what I’m thinking 
Sometimes I don’t understand what I say 
So it’s fine if you gotta get away

'Causers of This' is a glimpse into my early life as a suburban, American, POC. It is a reaction to what it feels like to lose. Ironically, all of the sessions and files making up the album were lost in a car burglary in 2009; all that was left were the instrumentals. The lyrics were the last element added on this particular record and I'm excited for my listeners to experience the album the way I first intended it to be. Now, 10 years later, it feels more appropriate than ever to release this pared-down version of the record to leave space for thought and reflection. Thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.

50% of the Bandcamp proceeds from the Causers instrumentals today (6/27) will go to People's Breakfast Oakland. https://found.ee/TYM-Causers-10year
