lyrics

When I was a little boy I used to sit and ponder
But now that I'm a full grown, I'm simply left to wonder
Where did all the time go
It's passing with a flash
And soon enough I'll return to ash.

All my life I've wanted nothing more than to make beauty
To conjure from the ether something that was passing through me
Something that is wonderful
And full of joyful song
'Cause sooner than later I'll be gone.

I wanna write, the perfect song
A melody that never goes wrong.
A chorus filled with triumph
And a bridge that fills the heart with longing.
A song that everyone will sing.

So I try, with every song, to write something of wonder.
And even though I've struggled so, I haven't yet gone under.
And every song I put to pen
Just might be that song.
A song to which, you might singalong.

And here's the part
Where I fall apart
I don't know what to do.

Every song, I seem to write
Seems to pass right through you.

I wanna write song that just be ignored
E ver more.

Lucky Fucker
by S.A. Bach

Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter. Get Set Go

Ash
by Eric Lea

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him. Get Set Go

Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare Parts

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome! Get Set Go
