about

This one goes out to every kid who can be a full time musician making no money because daddy pays all their bills, as they get years with no responsibilities to pay for playlist spots, pay for gig spots and expect to be handed success. I'm not judging money, but damn it is a shame that so much of modern music is just a playground for rich kids with family connections

Trombones, big beats and breakdowns, it's a fun one x

lyrics

Brand new vintage visual audio, read an article on how my indie band’s about to bloowwwww up, the writer is a friend of my brother and the best part is he only charged me one hundred
Haven’t you heard about my new single, put the money into making it a vevo official but the adverts did shit, and it didn’t get clicks so I paid a guy who owns a load of popular playlists

All I see is a load of fucking rich kids
Daddy bank me through the music business
Please pay for a spot on that playlist
Paying for attention is honestly the best thing

All I see is a load of fucking rich kids
Daddy bank me through the music business
Daddy couldn’t your connections be my way in
No responsibility and all your money’s all I want

Did I tell you about my old friend that just got signed, I was with him day 1 when his daddy met mine, at the label’s retreat, where the wonderkids meet, and since then we talked twice online, I always knew he’d get big from that big jawline that pops when you pop him in professional lights so I pray I can support him when starts to headline and if I share all his stuff maybe he will share mine

All I see is a load of fucking rich kids
Daddy bank me through the music business
Daddy couldn’t your connections be my way in
I hope you understand what it means to have artistic dreams
I just need a few more years so I can make it big
No responsibility and all your money’s all I want

Soft sounds coming out of my mouth that’s why
All these years I've been singing my throat feels fried
But no lie I never wanna give up this life
So you can take your shit and get out my sight
Go find a better reason for them spotlights
To shine on you besides money and family ties
I rewind every single day of my life
Then I find I only live in the sounds and not light
I know, there’s plenty worse off than me
And I admit, I’m hardly left out to freeze
I had a safety net and learnt guitar when I was six
But you calling yourself self-made just doesn’t fit
So yeah I live with my mum but I pay her good rent
Work forty hours a week and live for music in the rest
And though it’d be nice I don’t expect to make it big
I do this for myself and doubt I’ll ever quit

A new song on the first of the month, for every month of 2019.
I'm still figuring it out but expect feelings of hip-hop, emo revival, indie rock and maybe some trap or contemporary r&b, im not sure 100% sure yet so we'll just see what happens
