A HUGE thank you to those of you who listened to my new single last week and donated to hurricane relief! Additionally, my artist page is finally back up and running, so don't forget to gimme some love on Spotify.
It can be sort of miserable showing up to gigs alone as the girlfriend/bandaid of a musician. I spent my early twenties going to a lot of shows by myself, standing around feeling uncomfortable and listening to groups of hipster girls talk about my boyfriend. Joy!
Track 5 speaks to this particular brand of misery. The song owes its title to the classic novel Catcher in the Rye. It's my anti-hipster ballad.
Phonies
Lower East Side venue
Name on list
Stamp on hand
I made my way inside.
Underworld of music and mingling
Jaundice boys and
Scraggly girls:
Caulfield phonies.
Crook your neck in my arm
Kiss you on the mouth
It wasn't enough
It wasn't enough.
Soft denium
Sweat-dark hair above his ears
Near caress of his mouth
On microphone.
Crook your neck in my arm
Kiss you on the mouth
It wasn't enough
It wasn't enough.
Songs are memories
Killing me softly
I knew his songs
had all played out.
Crook your neck in my arm
Kiss you on the mouth
It wasn't enough
It wasn't enough.
