Just My Favorite Singer

jan sober breakup '24

A live recording of my friends and I playing a song I’d just written with them that night.

777 it’s eleven

EarthGang - Bobby Boucher

Do you ever make something and know if you don’t put it out now, you might never, so you must?

Lyrics: I’ll play the villain with an incandescent smile
You know the drill, I sought the thrill 
As I’ve done for awhile 
I’ll play the girl who throws away her life
But I’ll know I’m not the one who held the knife

If you take me at my word 
You’d know me as a bird 
in this world 
Oh, I’ll never be heard 
Born bloodied already 
 ready to be bloody 
I don’t need you to want me 

I don’t care if you put me in the gutter 
I’ll get out one way or another 
I don’t mind if you try to pass me over 
I know how to find a four leaf clover

I’m a silly little thing 
harsh words said so beautifully 
To me
Since the day I was born 
It came on like a storm 
Of femininity
Now a dress is a sword 
You can’t take away my sheath anymore 

I don’t care if you put me in the gutter 
I’ll get out one way or another 
I don’t mind if you try to pass me over 
I know how to find a four leaf clover


If it’s a game with a score 
I don’t wanna play anymore 
I’ve forsaken my humanity 
Too many times before  
So take my name from the the board 
Divert my shame from the hoard 
Show me how the ocean takes shore

don’t you feel like a whore 
And is that a bad thing
If you’re just sitting here with me 

I don’t care if you put me in the gutter 
I’ll get out one way or another 
I don’t mind if you try to pass me over 
I know how to find a four leaf clover

Jake Ferguson of The Heliocentrics on "In The Middle:"
"We’ve all been big fans of James Brown since we’ve been involved in music and have played ‘In The Middle’ regularly on our live tours. It felt like a natural fit for the Orlando project, particularly as we have added an Afro swing to the track. We first played the track with Orlando at a London gig last year and he got into it in the studio straight away – his sax solo here was the very first take. James Brown and his band loved Orlando when they saw him play in Ibadan back in the ‘60s and the two of them met up and talked at J.B.’s hotel. So, for lots of reasons, this felt like a natural one to include.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At My Expense is a love song about abandonment and accepting the limitations of what a romantic partnership can offer. A partner cannot transcend your life or relationship with yourself, nor can they take your inherent beauty and power from you. When we experience loss, the void is overwhelming, but the fullness of our inner and outer worlds will always return with time and allowance.

I'll live to live it again, and give and give till I can't.

SPOTIFY etc.

at my expense

A little love song that was written for someone special.

Lyrics:

I don’t know 
which way to go but I just wanna be happy 
we may not know just where we are 
but being somewhere is a place to start

mmmmmm

let’s go somewhere 
where people won’t stare 
we can let it loose 
and let it all go
and be the kindve people we want to know 
we don’t have to hold back 

I don’t know 
which way to go but I just wanna be happy 
we may not know just where we are 
but being somewhere is a place to start

da da da da da da 

and I can keep all our secrets in a jar
and don’t worry my mind is the only thing that travels far
and I just hope your dog will like me
oh I hope your dog will like me 

I don’t know 
which way to go but I just wanna be happy 
we may not know just where we are 
but being somewhere is a place to start

da da da da da da

I just hope your dog will like me
oh I just hope your dog will like me

I just hope your dog will like me
