First Recordings: YOU SUCK pt.1 (Patreon)

Listen...I was just rolling with it to see where it would go, okay! 😂

I am lowkey a little embarrassed by this, but I wanted to share it because it's an honest part of songwriting. It's important to be unafraid to write silly or just outright bad lyrics sometimes. Even if those lyrics don't make it into the song, they can help you move forward with the song if you're getting stuck somewhere and they can always be revisited and/or rewritten later.

Plus, those silly/bad lyrics pave the way to something better, while also potentially providing other lyric and/or melody ideas for future songs! Even if it isn't "good", it is a normal, genuine, and important part of songwriting.

So I'm laying it all on the line with this hilarious and terrible initial iteration of the "YOU SUCK" chorus 🙈

I also do kind of like how this one does lean more into the silliness of how the song started. As dumb as I think it is, I still think it's funny and very much in the spirit of the song 😅

PS. If you didn't know already (I think it's been mentioned here at some point, but I truly do not pat attention to what I've said 🫣), my ex that is the reason for all these songs and so much of my trauma was indeed my first romantic relationship.
