Liner Notes

this is about me keeping track of my income as a sole proprietor, an artist and audio engineer and music production teacher, etc. ITS HARD TO DO! I have a bunch of tiny income streams that make taxes terribly annoying, but I'm always trying to improve every year in the way that I calculate and keep track of all of my business expenses and income and whatnot.

Leave tips in the comments. haha seriously though, if you do, thanks!

Musically, I wanted to play everything and try to do each thing in one take and just make a messy garage rock band style demo, which it is, but my bass is hiding in my closet and i wanna throw this online, so unfortunately its a bassless song as of now.

p.s. I havent played bar chords OR drums in a long ass time. it was fun but so rusty and my hand hurt after - hence the "holy shit" commentary at the end.

The title and the "laundry and taxes" line were completely inspired by the scene in Everything Everywhere All At Once when Fancy Waymond says, "In another universe, I would have loved just doing laundry and taxes with you."

Lyrics

i thought i was doing well
rows and columns all filled out
I thought I was keeping track
And keeping up

I thought I was pretty good
At adding up the categories
I thought everything looked
Like it should

[bm, c, Em, A, Bm, em, c]
But here we are now
Completely recalculating
Finding all my past mistakes
And now realizing
We have to find another way
To prevent all this work
And everything will okay
Moving forward

Sometimes I feel like
We just do laundry and taxes
But I don’t think I need more
Excitement than that

Sometimes I feel proud
Of how organized I am
And now I know that all those times
It was silly to think that

Because here we are now
Completely recalculating
Finding all my past mistakes
And now realizing
We have to find another way
To prevent all this work
And everything will okay
Moving forward

(holy shit)
