A silly little song about the complicated emotions surrounding being in love. Reciprocated or not, it's an intoxicating and all encompassing chemical response that has the ability to consume us, body and mind. Pretty vile if you ask me.

Lyrics:

Feel my heart beat, it's full of bile.
Love is Vile.
Feel my heart beat, it's full of bile.
Love is Vile.

My heart is so full (of bile)
I love you so much (it's vile)

Heart of bile, love is vile.
Heart of bile, love is vile.

My heart is so full (of bile)
I love you so much (it's vile)
My heart is so full (of bile)
I love you so much (it's vile)

I'm releasing this cover of Sufjan Stevens song "Casimir Pulaski Day" in honor of someone very dear to me who passed away tragically 1 year ago today, on June 18th, 2020.  It was our favorite Sufjan song and was very special to both of us for different reasons. I know my take on the song is drastically different than the original song, but I mean no disrespect.  I wanted to put my own twist on it to give an almost uplifting melancholic feeling to an otherwise unbearably sad song. This song is for you, Taylor. To celebrate your life and the impact you had on me and so many others. You'll always live on in my memories.


Lyrics:

Goldenrod and the four H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone.
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry.
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading.
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth.
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens.
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse.
In the morning, at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared.
All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you.
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I found the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother.
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom.
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window.
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing.
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window.
All the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes.

Casimir Pulaski Day

As someone who was diagnosed with anxiety in elementary school, I've spent most of my life trying to find ways to mask it, fight it, suppress it, anything to prevent it from interfering with me achieving my goals in life. This song is intended to be a kitschy representation of the way my anxiety manifests. The duality of the upbeat bubbly music & sad/frustrated lyrics are a reflection of what I present on the outside vs the constant central nervous system meltdown going on inside of me. With mental health awareness becoming more and more prevalent and open discussions about anxiety/depression/trauma/etc becoming less taboo, I know that I am far from alone and that my daily struggles are also a reality for millions, if not billions, of other people. I really hope this song speaks to others who are in an ongoing daily mental health battle and perhaps serves as a silly & fun musical companion to those whom it resonates with.

ANXIETY

My very abstract/experimental cover of the 2000 hit song "Butterfly" by Crazy Town.

Butterfly

For anyone who has ever been in an abusive friendship/relationship, been taken advantage of or manipulated for their kindness, or been treated as nothing more than disposable ego fuel. :)

Lyrics: 

That’s right, give it up.
Fill my empty cup.
All at your expense,
we’ll be best friends.

Don’t you ever leave me
And I’ll never leave you.
I’ll just chip away at your self worth
then abandon you.
Don’t you ever leave me
And I’ll never leave you.
I’ll just chip away at your self worth
then abandon you.

I need you, you, you’re my fuel.

You’re my number 1
Till you’re no more fun.
Then you’ll be dead to me,
I’ll drain you of every last thing.

Don’t you ever leave me
And I’ll never leave you.
I’ll just chip away at your self worth
then abandon you.
Don’t you ever leave me
And I’ll never leave you.
I’ll just chip away at your self worth
then abandon you.

Lyrics:

Little baby
Feeling kinda hazy
Every time I think about you lately. 
Warm and fuzzy
Feel a little wavy.
I’m lookin for ya 
to say I’m not crazy.  

I’ll never stop looking for you baby.
I can feel you closer to me lately.
Yeah I know it’ll happen one day baby.
We’ll find each other and show them we’re not crazy.

So if you’re feeling down
Dont be afraid of calling.
Wanna be the one to catch you when you’re fallin.
If you’re feeling down
Dont be afraid of calling.
Wanna be the one to catch you when you’re fallin.

Fallin Fallin
Catch you when you’re Fallin
Fallin Fallin
Catch you when you’re Fallin

Fallin'

Lyrics:

How I die, this is how I die.
How I fly, how'd I get so high.
My head lies, I've got the good life.
The good. The good.
I don't know anymore,
what it's all good for.
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, no no.

Hi goodbye, save all your good lies,
Hi goodbye, get all your good cries.
My head lies, it's not the good life.
The good. The good.
I don't know anymore,
what it's all good for.
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, no no.

Oh you, made me cry enough tears for a sea

I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.

It's so nice to be completely devoid
of all emotions now I can't be annoyed.
Can't hurt me through my glass screen.
Eternal life, isn't that the dream?

I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.


It's so nice to be completely devoid
of all emotions now I can't be annoyed.
Don't have any feelings so I won't cause a scene.
Never have to bathe cause I'm always pristine.

Can't hurt me through my glass screen.
Eternal life, isn't that the dream?

I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.
I wanna be a Machine.

MACHINE

A song about trading your soul to the devil in exchange for the love of an otherwise unattainable crush.

----

I know you think I'm forgettable.
Maybe I'm not the most memorable
But if I could just, could be your girl
I'd trade my soul just be mine.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I traded my soul for your heart to keep.
And if I die before the day
I pray the lord will send you my way.

Unforgettable.
Traded the devil.
Unforgettable.
Get on my level.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I traded my soul for your heart to keep.
And if I die before the day
I pray the lord will send you my way.

Now I Lay
