about

Holy Shit is the title of the new album. It’s also the name of the first track, which is officially released today! This entire album is loosely based off of the concept of “holy shit,” a term which becomes more interesting and fun to me the more I think about it. In everything exists a dichotomy and so much of it depends on our perspective or how we are feeling a certain day. Sometimes holy feels awful, sometimes shit feels great. “Holy shit” is a phrase that us English speakers are able to use for anything positive or negative, and sometime it’s the only phrase that seems to fit a feeling that might not bring up any other words.

For this song, I am incorporating this idea while providing a snapshot of my life at a certain day/time. It’s weird to think that the me that wrote this song is already different from the me now. This one mostly speaks for itself, so I hope you dig it and can find some sort of meaning in it for yourself.

lyrics

The sun was shining, I was feeling a little sick
I was driving, without the music on
I was smiling, it’s the warmest that it’s been
heavy traffic, I saw gods and I saw shit

Right past midway, I bought a tambourine
drove to Harlem, to wash the car
got my hair cut, it’s the shortest that it’s been
melting snow banks, felt like god and looked like shit

You were walking, you were heading to the pier
got your hair dyed, for a new job
big sunglasses, blasting Martha in your ears
your supervisor, thinks he’s god but he ain’t shit

We are living, making art in waxing days
this whole season, kicked our ass
we are climbing, for a way out of this haze
in our future, do I see god or I see

shit it’s just another reason to get out of the house and scream and
find a new context for dreamin’, kill all of these winter feelings
Gods are waiting for our answers, gods are fighting shit like cancer
gods are being fucking bastards, gods are picking up the hammer

and I, am figuring out, this holy hell, this holy shit
