🌩️ I Can Hear You Up There Laughing

Loop + CK61 organ + iPhone voice memo, babyyyy. Let's keep this sloppy.

Lyrics

God gets stoned, then god makes me
Drops me naked in society
Hands me a machete and an English degree
“Let’s see how he handles this one”

Angels gathering around the bong
Blowing signals, but they don’t last long
I watch the hills burn as I write this song
I can hear you up there laughing

I can hear you up there laughing
With me or at me, I don’t know
I can hear you up there laughing
Laugh tonight, just wait til I get home

Diggin the lo-fi offerings. Particularly delightful chords, and the flutey organ on that CK61 gives it a real gospel flavour fitting of the lyrics. Vocals are stellar, and I definitely like the idea of angels ripping bongs up in clouds of smoke... now that's a religion I can follow!

@gruvmachine 6d

Good tune man, great voice. Reminds me of something... Dig the lyrics, a sentiment that generally, I think is pretty relatable

@bigmood 2w

The lyrics in this are awesome, and the melody allllmost feels like a 90s powerballad but the production is so much more minimal than that. Vocals ate, you sing so effortlessly

@leahshoshanah 2w

This track is so much fun. I love the beat. I'm impressed that this was one take on an iphone. I love the energy of it being one take.

@deansibinski 2w

I'm telling my kids this is Christian Contemporary Music

@cairobraga 2w

I thought of so many inappropriate things to say!!! you're amazing, babes, kudos! 💚

@pumpkinhead 2w

You are such a pro.
Rhythm got me and organ put me in a church bench trying to sing along the words I did not know yet. In the end just smiling even though I did not quite laugh along. Maybe next time.

@fireball 2w

biblical.
always great to have you on board.
this is an inspirational start. i want to incorporate more phone myself, and i'm ever a fan of sloppy. not too unexpected, but i like the mix with the clean organ plus the sloppy voice memo. strong, funny, potentially provocative lyrics, as often.

@jonnyeureka 2w

“Sure”

@cowex 2w

Fun lyrics! "Let's see how he handles this one" indeed. Also that clap loop is addictive.

@celineellis 3w

I love your creative lyrics and this is no exception. That first verse is profound!

@pumpkinhead 3w

Solid work and totally groovy. Love your vocals they are spot on and that chord on the second phrase. Simply beautiful.

@jackdawfactories 3w

Damn, gorgeous as ever. Didn't recognise the new username but sure as hell recognised that voice!

@mikeb 3w

Yes, it does feel like that - too often these days. Good job!

@joshbelville 3w

I forgot this was your account now so I thought you had left! But you didn't; instead, you came in like a pissing ball. Hope to hear more sloppies from you this month!

@coolparadisoMod 3w

Really enjoyed this lyric, great idea. Nice simple delivery that has a compelling feel. Very good song. Foot tapping here!

@caroline_ro 3w

funnn! really enjoyed this. the percussion was particularly enjoyed :)

@tamsnumber4 3w

The lyric is great and loved that organ and rhythm. Maybe this is all just one big sitcom on God's TV.

@andyr 3w

Really nice. I like how the hand-made vibe and voice contrast with the dark bitter view of whoever's up there..

@kissiejr 3w

prolly will give this a proper recording this eve

@adforperu 3w

Haha, so cool. You're giving me Perfume Genius vibes a little bit here, which is unequivocally a Good Thing. Lush vocal performance, and that beat is so cool - it gives the allusion of being huge but it's so non-intrusive and serves the song as it should.

@raspberry33 3w

Great lyrics! "machete and an English degree". And the production is superb, building throughout. Love the Hammond B3 patch! Hymn #42 at the First Church of Skeptical Rastafarians?
