one of my ASPIRATIONS for 2016 was to make catchy pop songs while in the midst of relationship crisis, i instead wrote really long depressing songs, neat. so here's a really poppy song off my third record, this is called "Dropped" and i wrote the chorus to this earlier in the first week of december 2016 while talking to someone at a show who i felt was patronizing me and being an overall argumentative person, i wrote this in the POV of them speaking to me but i guess you could also assume that i wrote this as a message to them in my POV, cuz i hate em. one of the very last tracks i just wrote for the third and final simon record, i wrote this also while listening to a lot of pet shop boys b-sides (also a lot of beat happening) all night so it's a very simple sawng. i have a lot of projects ready for 2017, 2017 will also be the last year i perform as an acoustic musician, i'll be playing a shitton of shows, i'll drop a few albums, and then i'm moving onto new projects. 2017 will be super greasy, check it out. 


comin down ur throat, here's DROPPED, off my third record. throw the sailors overboard. i have a semi-bad cold rn, so forgive my shrill vocals.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


me, i'm not a fan
of your words
or your songs
i think you sound
just like someone who i'd hate
bang your hollow head
your broken heart
against a wall
until you find
that there's no point
to it all


man, were you dropped
on your head
as a child
it's a wonder you can even think at all

i can hear you talk
i tune you out
it's my choice
i would just rather hear
another voice
until you disappear
i'll be wondering why you're here
i'll be wondering when you'll eventually have to leave

man, were you dropped
on your head
as a child
it's a wonder you can even think at all

"You're right, with me, being less than 25 years old, I've already made several hundred thousand dollars in bonds and investments and now being involved in several U.S. Senate campaigns as a strategist, I must be unbelievably jealous of you making cassettes and CDs as a whiny Canadian hikikomori."

"some nice feels here and there, but man this style (folk/indie i guess) of music is a dead and beat horse and it just doesn't really capture me and unless there is something very exceptional about it in its personality and style, and not to be a dick, but i just don't feel like you offer that here with these songs."

"I find your influences interesting because I see almost none of those songwriters in your music. They're all relatively famous (or well liked) for taking relatively simple songs to play and doing unusual things with them, or using uncommon original chord progressions...your music is very samesy and feels way, way too safe. You have an unorthodox voice you aren't trying to push in any one direction and music composed entirely of chords - you have to do something to distinguish yourself more than lyrics. Otherwise people might as well read poetry. Keep working on it for sure."

"your music is recorded on a goddamned laptop mic and there's not even any processing on it to make it sound any less shitty, you have absolutely no skill for singing, your lyrics are so basic they provide no insight and aren't intriguing in the least. nothing about your music is captivating in any way, in fact it's deliberately alienating... and you insist on posting the same selfies of your pasty baby face with every babbling defensive post you make...
you're the prime example of someone who should keep their day job"
