Liner Notes

Writing music again for the first time in a long time feels good. bananaskin is about struggles to keep up with life due to mental defects. Peace. Take your meds, message your friends back. Don't beat yourself up (too much).

Lyrics

Yesterday you found, a dried banana skin in my footwell,
You asked how long it'd been riding shotgun with me.

But you know, that I'm trying
To be better again,
To be better for my friends.

Yesterday I left, all messages unread
(whatta piece of)

I'm sure I called you back
Maybe I'm off track…

Don't you know, that I’m trying,
To keep my head above the waves,
To keep coming back again...
what were you saying?

Oh won't you supervise me?
Please could you supervise me now?
I wanna know.

But you know, that I’m trying,
To keep my head above the waves,
To keep coming back again...
what were you saying?

With the moment, passing by me
banana skin, and your disappointed eyes
Tell me all I need to know.

Lovely melodies! Your voice is so gentle and soothing amidst this sad set of lyrics. I need to see what else you come up with this month! Great production and arrangement all around.

This is great. You do so much with very little instrumentation. I'm so impressed. It's super cool. Great melody, super vocal. Those high notes. Dang, that's good. And then your use of stops and changes to the effects and knowing exactly when to drop the drums, etc. It's really genius.
