demo 98: I'm a fool (but not an idiot) (Patreon)

HEY I'M VERY PROUD OF THIS DEMO ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S JUNE TOMORROW

for this demo I wanted to focus on a live performance - inspired by an artist called Medium Build (amazing songs - very passionate performer) and also an acoustic set I played in a church last night! it reminded me of how dynamic and personal and also energetic a solo set can be.. so I wanted to filter some of that energy into this song. put simply, this is a song about a crush

lyrics below - feedback welcome as ever. if you joined the secret demo club this month WELCOME :) you can download the mp3 of the demo (and all demos) directly from the post for keepsies and/or stream the track from within the patreon website or mobile app.

I'm excited about the SDC right now - with the album delivered and the mini-tour behind me I feel a real surge of energy for this community and getting the SDC in the best possible shape for the BIG NO 100 !!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'LL HAVE 100 DEMOS - I'm dead.

thank you SDC - love you and thank you for everything this month! with Little Chaos too - please keep streaming and spreading the word there - you guys are smashing it and it's genuinely given the track SUCH a boost.

also - a warning - I curse a lot in this one, just a head's up for listening around kids or if that's not your sort of thing : )

lyrics:

Ego makes you do strange things

Ego is where it all begins

Some instant private joke

Cuts through like you already know me

Boredom makes you question things

No standstill, you’re just running running running

So it’s no surprise that you caught my eye

look at you, how could I not look twice?

And I’m a fool

But not an idiot

Doing any fucking thing or a little hit

dumb enough to chase you, pull on the thread

Self aware enough to know that it’s all in my head

I’m a fool

But not an idiot

And you’re a fictional character

A silhouette

I just wanna see

Every side of me

My curiosity

Could be the death of me

Ahhh

Could be the death of me yet

You look so beautiful

I could go on and on and on

Call it a chemistry

Call it the death of me

Call it a little crush

Or c  whatever the fuckkk this is

And I’m a fool

But not an idiot

Doing any fucking thing for a little hit

dumb enough to chase you, pull on the thread

Self aware enough to know that it’s all in my head

And I’m a fool

But not an idiot

Always hanging on your words like a little kid

Are you my dream girl, an anomaly

Or just a shiny new thing right in front of me?

I’m a fool

But not an idiot

And you’re a fictional character

A silhouette

I just wanna see

Every side of me

My curiosity

Could be the death of me

Could be the death of me yet

(death of me, death of me, death of me... yet) lol

LOVE YOU!
