first draft february 5: you're not special, babe (Patreon)

hey! this one is a snippet of a song I wrote as a letter to myself. a harsh yet comforting reality slap.. but ultimately a message of kindness. a comforting bop, if you will:) 

also delighted to reveal some wonderful new artwork for my 'first draft february' project, made by member of the secret demo club /my fave artist Demii Whiffin.

am so excited to log into the discord and catch up with the ideas of anyone that's been trying #firstdraftfebruary with me.. if you're not in the discord and want to share your song ideas on instagram or twitter, tag me & put hashtag #firstdraftfebruary & I'll listen! no matter what u do/make, I really recommend trying the process of creating in a fast, quickfire, un-precious way! I'm enjoying the challenge (and valuing your feedback, as always!)

lyrics:

if you 

could see yourself

from the outside in

you’d say you don’t have to be more thin, it’s ok

and if you

could see yourself 

from above the sky

I think you’d say that you’re doing fine 

life is short until it’s not

honestly it’s kinda long

takes a while to come around

..people always let you down

find the ones that get you

stick to them like hot glue

and dance if you want to 

cause 

you’re not special, babe

NO!

I know you feel like your life is one big mistake i 

am right there on your side
