i wrote this song along with the help of one of my best friends and I'm very proud of it. although this is a rough draft and i intend to do much more to it i wanted to get feedback!

bitter blood (rough draft original)

I wrote this song a little while back when I was dating someone who lived long distance. We dated for almost two years and saw each other every few months. When we did it was like our own paradise, though inevitably paradise was always lost the moment we had to say goodbye. Missing the person you love is excruciating and long distance relationships are messy. I chose to include it on the EP even after the relationship ended because the experience was truly a learning experience and the song is one of the most heartfelt I've ever written.

This song is about a friend being in a relationship with a partner/friend that they know is unhealthy for them. Despite your reasoning with them they continue to make bad choices but you know they'll eventually come back to you and you're okay with it because you love them.

I started writing Buzz Cut Buzz Kill months after shaving my head, as i was slowly coming to the end of a long term relationship. The hook uses the idea of this "buzz cut" as a metaphor for making positive change in your life. Though the verses hold a more emotional standpoint of what it feels like when coming to the end of a relationship.

Titled after "Melpomene" the Greek muse of tragedy, this song was inspired by a relationship i was in my freshman year of high school. It was extremely toxic and unhealthy but i couldn't push myself to get out of it so i found myself in a merry go round of cheating, gas lighting and over all mental manipulation and torment. All in the pursuit of my first young love. I learned a lot of lessons about myself and relationships when i left, and have grown a million times since then. I'm happy to say it's a "look back and laugh" story rather than something worse. The lyrics are some of my favorite off the album and writing it was a wild experience. The recording itself can be described, much like the relationship.. messy, emotional, lovely and tragic.

Melpomene

Bitter Blood is one of the first songs i wrote to completion in collaboration with my very dear trend Sarah Tenerowicz, which is the only song on the album that i didn't take directly from first hand experiences. It centers around a girl in a physically abusive relationship who can't get out of it, which she hides from the world around her. Although neither of us have actually experienced serious physical abuse we did our best to put ourselves in the mindset of someone who had during the writing process and what came of it was truly brilliant.
