Last year I set a goal to release music before my next birthday - we got really close with my upcoming EP, but I still wanted to meet the goal, and my birthday is tomorrow. So here is the first demo I ever made, a little love song I wrote when I had a crush on a girl. Enjoy!

LGLS (demo)

In February, I took a songwriting class with Bartees Strange through School of Song - the first assignment was to write in a way I never had before. I wrote and produced this demo in 24 hours and it was the most creatively exciting and fulfilling day I've had in a long time. I was always going to go back and clean it up, but I didn't have a chance, and I decided I didn't want that to keep me from sharing it with you. Thanks to Bartees for the super inspiring prompt and the kind words about my work that will maybe carry me for literally forever. Enjoy this little apocalypse song!

Lyrics:
It's darker than I thought it would be
but when the light peeks through the leaves are still green
The squirrels are stocking up
Either they're greedy or they know something
Do you feel it tilting?
The birds are dropping bombs from their beaks
It's no conspiracy

Don't know where we're falling

Strutting through the rubble in our cartoon shoes
Oh somebody's howling and they're lighting a fuse
No she's taking over, yeah she knows what to do
Oh you think it's stupid? She's not talking to you

Trudging through the rubble in our cartoon shoes
Oh if you don't want it she's not talking
talking
talking
no she's not talking to you

and what are you gonna do?
