Fair To You

Alt-pop songwriter Quinn XCII reaches for a mellower folk-pop sound on his seventh album, ‘LOOK! I’m Alive.’ Working with Venice-based producer Adam Friedman in his home studio, the Detroit native opens up about his creative process in exclusive commentary, saying he “felt like a kid again,” trying out new ideas without overanalyzing them. Touching on his personal affinity for songs about the afterlife, Quinn notes that “Olive Tree” is his contribution to the mysterious subject, sharing he’s drawn to “the sheer unknown of it.” Of the track, “Live & Let Go,” a collaboration with Dispatch, he says it’s about a lesson learned to “live your life and trust that things will fall into place the way they were meant to.” Elsewhere on the project, Quinn shares that the stripped-back “Florence” is named for his baby daughter, his first child. “It’s the first of many songs, I’m sure,” he tells SoundCloud.

It’s late it’s late it’s so fucking late 
Why do you always call when it’s so fucking late?
It’s cold it’s cold it’s so fucking cold 
You used to be my everything it’s so fucking cold

I don’t wanna give everything for a maybe now 
The 2029 you and me can figure it out 
I’ve been looking for a song that can sum up how I’m feeling and what’s going on I can’t find it so I’ma have to 

I’ve been driving the wrong way down a one way street 
You’ve been kissing other boys and then kissing me 
Get me off this call get me on the drink get me on the pull why talk about it 
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag

I’m broke I’m broke I’m so fucking broke
I work everyday and I’m still fucking broke 
I’m tired I’m tired I’m so fucking tired 
I sleep more than anybody and I’m still fucking tired 

I don’t wanna give everything for a maybe now 
The 2029 you and me can figure it out 
I’ve been looking for a song that can sum up how I’m feeling and what’s going on I can’t find it so I’ma have to 

I’ve been driving the wrong way down a one way street 
You’ve been kissing other boys and then kissing me 
Get me off this call get me on the drink get me on the pull why talk about it 
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag

It’s late it’s late it’s so fucking late 
Why do you always call when it’s so fucking late?
It’s cold it’s cold it’s so fucking cold 
You used to be my everything it’s so fucking cold

I’ve been driving the wrong way down a one way street 
You’ve been kissing other boys and then kissing me 
Get me off this call get me on the drink get me on the pull why talk about it 
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag
I don’t wanna see your white flag 
I don’t wanna see your white flag
