If your still active on here may you please go listen to my music I just got comfortable posting my music

hello this is the first scott is okay album to come out!!! it's called Turning up the Draw Distance and it's about my inability to see anything past my own stupid life :) 

thanks to me for producing it and me for writing it, and me for playing all the instruments, and me for attempting to mix and master it, and HURU and blenum for lending their voices, and brad for a clip of you talking in my room like 8 years ago, and ben for a second of you talking on a voicemail like 3 years ago, and james and sean my managers who have unwavering patience as i literally had this sitting at 99% finished for two years and didn't do nothing with it, and absolute for distributing it (shoutout lucia), and props, bonzai florists, conor, tragic sasha and a few others (sorry i forgot rn) for listening ahead of the release and giving me encouragement.... i think that's it.

i like soundcloud because it's basically free so people can listen freely BUT the gapless transitions between songs don't work because in 10 years of uploading to their site, they still don't support gapless albums and i always make my albums gapless because of the energy never dies by black eyed peas, (shout out the energy never dies by the black eyed peas) and they never sound as clean so if you have the opportunity to listen somewhere else (like apple music, youtube [when i upload the full album sometime this week], tidal, etc.), this is me suggesting you do that instead for the full listening experience

follow me on things if you want to stay updated when i release stuff i don't really post unless i'm releasing something (that can be a good thing or bad thing depending on your preferences), but i do share memes and (rarely share) musings on my IG stories sometimes. honestly, i fuck w/ letterboxd out of all social medias the most right now so that's probably the place to keep up with what i'm up to

Bittersweet ghosts (Demo)

   Howdy friends and hopefully everybody is looking forwards to a very Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends this year! We need a little cheering up! This is a song I wrote in 2021 during the pandemic and it's partially about my favorite film of all time "The Wizard Of Oz" with Judy Garland. I've loved this film since I was a kid and now I own like 20 copies of it in all formats and watch it once a year religiously! The song is mostly about finding our inner child and returning to that time when everything seemed to be an adventure and there was magic in the air and music all around! It's like a dream song and as everyone knows there are good things and bad things in dreams, there are friends and there are witches sometimes, as in life, but the journey is always well-worth it for me! 
      This was also one of the first music-videos I ever made with the help of my wonderful wife and it was really too choppy and the clips I used were really blurry and I used way too many gif's and the sound was muddy. At the time we thought it was great but when I rewatched it, I knew I needed to redo it! So earlier this year I decided to do a remix of the song and the video. I added several more clips but couldn't really find any nice clear ones from "The Wizard Of Oz" because it's copyrighted I guess, so I had to use fuzzy ones but you guys get the picture! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/LkCsp-0wLUA

     The song is one of my best with some of my best lyrics, I think. It's all about Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her finding her inner child and wanting to go on a journey over the rainbow but when she gets there all she wants to do is go back home! Isn't that what we all want to do? We want to go back home but sadly we cannot. 
     I worked very hard on the song and Charlie really sang it well! My wife helped out on the backing vocals too. I hope the Remix turned out a little better than before. The video was a headache to put together because of all the "Wizard Of Oz" clips I inserted but I hope I did a decent job of it, it looks much better now than the origianl video I had done!
     So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and let's all remember what it was like being a child, all the wonder and excitement that life seemed to offer us back then, for me it was a magical time and watching "The Wizard Of Oz" every Thanksgiving was part of that magic! I'll always remember the classic lines in the film like "Your heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by other!" That's they key to life you know, oh and one more very important thing! "There's No Place like home"! (Ain't that the truth!) Happy Holidays!🙏😎✌🏼

“SOMEWHERE IN BLUE"

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?  
IS THAT STILL YOU UNDERNEATH?   
ARE YOU STILL GROWING?
CAN IT BE TRUE? IS THAT STILL YOU?  
     
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  
WHAT GOALS HAVE YOU ACHIEVED?                 
ARE YOU IMPROVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?     
THEY SAY WHAT'S OLD RETURNS BRAND NEW,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,    
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,

ARE YOU ENLIGHTENED?  
HAVE YOU EXPANDED YOUR MIND?   
IS LIFE EXCITING?    
CAN IT BE TRUE?  IS THAT STILL YOU? 
     
ARE YOU EVOLVING?  
HAVE YOU LEFT CHILDHOOD BEHIND?   
WAS IT WORTH SOLVING?   
CAN IT BE TRUE?  
THEY SAY OLD WOUNDS LEAVE SCAR TISSUE,  
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,  
IS SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE?

GROWING UP IS HARD,        
HANG-UPS CAN SOMETIMES SPOIL THE VIEW,         
THE HOOPS YOU'RE JUMPING THROUGH,          
CAN GET THE BEST OF YOU,         
SO FIND THAT LITTLE GIRL HIDING IN THERE,         
SOMEWHERE IN BLUE,
     
OOH THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW,
SHE STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN BLUE, 
THE LITTLE GIRL THAT I ONCE KNEW.

"SOMEWHERE IN BLUE" (Video - https://youtu.be/LkCsp-0wLUA)

This song is about a relationship built on longing, imbalance, and unspoken fear of loss.

lyrics

[verse 1] 
I don’t feel like settling down 
Till I see the sun go down 
How you march down the Riverwood 
And my face enlightens your mood 
Joint thoughts and aching souls 
Douse up the sack of bills 
Uh hu uh hu 

[chorus] 
You gave me the hope to bury away my troubles 
And participated in the competition to make it double 
So I bought everything that makes me sick from head to toe 
Just so you know 
Just so you know
 
[verse 2] 
We tried to live in the moment 
For a while, it felt all too real 
Maybe the forgiving God’s mistake 
For giving you this chance 
A hardcore wine slicked back in my gown 
A heartfelt word wish I cared less about 

[bridge] 
I didn’t have a problem keeping you in 
It’s just a matter of fact for you to know 
How easily you could be taken away 
It’s just a faint sight to see you with the one 
You’ve always been searching for 
A decent life 
Just so you know 
Just so you know 

just so u know (voice note)

Verse 1  
Think twice before you raise your voice,  
Before you make that choice.  
Think twice before your fist takes aim,  
Your cruelty won’t win this game.  
Think before you speak that twisted line,  
Manipulating hearts, controlling minds.  
Think twice unless you want to pay,  
Locked away for crimes you inflict each and every single day.  

Chorus  
Hey you cowards think twice,  
Before you cross that violent line.  
Violence is a coward’s act,  
Your mask will crack, justice fights back.  
The truth will never fade away,  
It will remain as power no matter what you do or say.  
Think twice before aggression shows,  
Make sure respect and love shows.  

Verse 2  
Think twice before you shame my name,  
Sadistic tricks won’t win your game.  
Think twice before coercion bites,  
Your darkness won’t dim my light.  
Every shove, every scream, every scar,  
Exposes the coward you truly are.  
Think twice the world will see,  
Justice rises, you won’t break me.  

Verse 3  Bridge  
Every form of abuse is a crime,  
There will come a day you’ll pay in time.  
Think twice, cowards, you’re being reported,  
By voices united, by all who’ve supported.  
The world is watching, your power is gone,  
Your grip is broken, your control withdrawn.  
Cowards fall when the truth is near,  
Justice is rising, your end is clear.  
Real men love, protect, and defend,  
Not abuse, not harm, not pretend.  
You’re nothing but cowards in a man’s disguise,  
Stripped of your power exposed by your lies.  

Final Chorus 
Hey you cowards think twice,  
Before you cross that violent line.  
Domestic violence is a coward’s act,  
Your mask will crack, justice fights back.  
The truth will never fade away,  
It will remain as power no matter what you do or say.  
Think twice before aggression shows,  
Make sure respect and love shows.  

Echo Repeat  
Hey you cowards think twice… think twice…  
Your mask will crack, justice fights back… back…  
You can’t run, you can’t hide… hide…  
The truth comes out, exposing your lies and actions… actions…  
It will remain as power no matter what you do or say… say…  
We stand strong, united together always… always…  
If you see it, hear it, report it  courage and kindness ignite… ignite…  
My song will make a difference, bringing hope, ending a domestic fight… fight…  
I will always stand up for what’s right… right…

You know what
I think
You don't put
Much thought
Into what
You eat
Or drink

And I think
If I presented to you
A savory dish
I know exactly
What you'd do
If prepared correctly
You'd stop sometime
Once you start
To eat
Look at me
And ask
About the meat

Then what
Would you do
If I told you
It was human
Just like you?

Would you empty
All you consumed
Or would you shrug
Say delicious
Then resume?

I'm simply curious
Its nothing
I would do
But I truly wonder
What to expect
From you

And others too

I'm sure
If it ever happens
It'll first be
The ones with the least
And then just watch
The population
Decrease

I hate to extend this
I really want to know
Would you answer honestly
Can you say so?

Would you eat a stranger?
Would you eat your neighbor?
Do you want to know
Honestly
What would happen
If only you
And me
Trapped together
Without food
What i would do
When starvation
Took over the good

If you haven't yet
Grabbed that knife
If you haven't yet
Taken my life
We don't have fur
Just a little hair
On our skin
I'd preheat the oven
Cut a piece off of you
And then it would begin

Would you
Want to eat yourself
To help you stay alive

Do you want to watch
Yourself brutally die

Once you're gone
I'll cry
Then I'd starve too
Eventually
That's what I'd do

Meet For Dinner

Dream Meme

Oh listless list
Poked for plays
Success is sucked
Mathematical maze
Dreams...

So many years
All written down
The piles of paper
Ironing frown
Beams...

It's lists of light
Just pines for love
It's darkness cleared
We're facing up
Screams...

The hate can't win
So hope we spell
A hope to hone heaven
And douse water on hell
Memes...

Do it with heart
Make it kind
Play a good part
Lighten finds
Do it with care
Pure purpose
Beautiful flare
Virtuous circus
