Update 2/5: After listening to this the past few days I've realized this is a good song that is worthy of more love after FAWM.

###

This didn't turn out like I wanted and got away from me. A good lesson of something I learned at FAWM years ago - It doesn't matter if it's good, it matters if it's finished.

I wanted to do a Tame Impala type song. I also wanted to do a shuffle. This song was an attempt at both. Honestly, I dig the music. The lyrics and vocals are what got away from me.

I had this idea of an, "Australia for the unlovable." It's a penal colony for people who aren't worthy of love. Yeh, pretty dystopian and dark.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Ever since I was young
I dreamed I would become
Someone who could be loved
But instead I was judged

Lovers threw me away
Told me I could not play
Said that I could not stay
And they sent me to pay

Chorus

I don’t know what I did to be banished and stranded in this place
I’m sentenced to unlovable island

Verse 2

Never knew what I did
Found my name on the list
All my freedom was stripped
All my words were dismissed

So I’ll die here alone
With no love of my own
Mercy never was shown
Hope the next life is gold
