Liner Notes

literally the first line is me projecting SO HARD. But also, my whole family is kind of like this sometimes. My boys used to throw tantrums every day after they would nap when they were little toddlers. It was exhausting.

Anyway, woohooo im almost done with my 14 song goal! :o

Also is my brain literally programmed to sing in C?? This is like the second one in a row where i did the "just sing the melody to a click into my daw" method and then figured the key out later only to discover i am in C major, lol. Oh well! if it works it works, i guess.

Lyrics

You can be such a dick
when you first wake up
No matter how perfect it is
You'll say it sucks
It's like you're programmed
To find every flaw
Can you take a break, from the hate
Can you see anything good at all

I must have rose colored glasses on
All the time
Think all keep these rose colored glass on
For my whole life
I don't wanna be
A pessimist
I just wanna keep
Seeing the good in all of it
So I think I'll keep my rose colored glasses on

So you do yours
And I'll do mine
i'd rather be blind
Than see through your eyes
I don't think that I chose
To see the world this way
It's gotta be deep
within my DNA

And before i get
too big headed
Sometimes when I wake up
I'm a total bitch

But most of the time... (chorus)

Your melodic leap up for "rose colored glasses on" in the chorus is such a hook. Charming little bit of pop. I confess I thought the first lines were setting this up for an innuendo-laded direction. I'm glad I was wrong. What's the quote from Bojack Horseman? "the thing about rose colored glasses is that it makes red flags just look like regular flags."

C is for chest voice. I am envious of your ability to write melodies like you do. I also really like the talking part lol. SAY MORE BAD WORDS.
