LYRICS

(1, 2, 3, 4!) 
Look out baby, we’re running with a new crowd
Three cheers, three years and we’re making them proud 
Won’t swoon, won’t wait, there’s no stopping us now
We’re taking the stage and we’re running this town

They seem so full of it
And you might not know us yet

We got we know we’re gonna make on
T-O-P, yeah we, got this year on
L-O-C-K, we’re gonna make it through, yes you, just you 

Wait and see, yeah we’re gonna make on
T-O-P, yeah we, got this year on
L-O-C-K, world get ready or not 

We’ll always be two times two
You got me and I got you

You got me
We got we

We Got We Theme Song

Written, produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Niki Simerly.

This song was created for the short film Bronwen's Harmonium (2024), written and directed by Brandon Sichling. Bronwen's Harmonium is a queer comedy about an anime-themed burlesque show that centers around embracing yourself and whether avant-garde art really is all that. It includes a burlesque scene (complete with sakura petals) which incorporates this song as the backing track.

Bronwen's Harmonium is coming soon to IMDB!

this is a long, ambient electronic piece featuring modulated vocals that I created for my electronic music course. not incredibly happy with it but I thought I would share it. now with lyrics!

I got manufactured trust issues
My love confused
Between us who knew
I was the one who can't be vulnerable
I screw it up every time

I got manufactured trust issues
I can't lose you
But I know it's inevitable, it's out of my control

manufactured trust issues

get me out of the kitchen

oversentimental

I songwrite and compose film music :)
