about

Had a little power chord progression I liked, made a song out of it. The lyrics started from me singing "I've been wearing the same shirt for three weeks" and "smells like bananas" to the instrumental version in the car. Then built out into existential fear, as all things do, in a very quick writing session. Almost stream of consciousness.

lyrics

I was sitting the car the other day
It's where I saw it maybe smelled it
What was blue and white was becoming grey
Green and yellow
A little rainbow

I've been wearing the same shirt for three weeks
It smells like bananas
Smells like ass and bananas

I was looking in the mirror the other day
Do at your own risk
It's kinda scary
I'm losing my hair and I'm going grey
And going curly
When did that happen

I haven't had a haircut in six months
Looking kinda ragged
Looking really ragged

Slow to change
Slow to change

Spaced out at work the other day
Four in the morning
It's very early

Couldn't tell you when because it's all the same
Stacking boxes
On top of boxes

Haven't tried to move up in three years
Feeling really tired
Feeling really tired

Afraid to answer all my fears
Maybe I'm not worth it
Maybe I'm not worth it

Do I need some validation
Do I need a change of pace
Does it matter either way

Slow to change
Slow to change
Slow to change
Slow to change

Gabe Schwartz Ohio

Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it. Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others. ... more
