about

Couldn't Be Happiers has been working harder than ever at social media marketing for our ticketed shows. The results have been lackluster. And this morning I was real fucked up after we sold a total of five tickets to a show in Raleigh last night. It's a shit feeling, and it makes me want to quit, but as soon as someone emails to book CBH, I take the fucking gig. I'm frustrated, confused, tired, and more. So what else but grind it out in the song mill.

I dislike writing meta-narratives generally, so I dressed this up as breakup song anyone could relate too. The structure felts compact and cozy to me, even if the subject matter isn't. In fact, I had this melody marked for a lullaby.

lyrics

Can’t say that I didn’t see this coming
Your reticence was one of many bad omens
Hoped it was a glitch in the algorithm
Should’ve known that we were fucking broken

I wasn’t perfectly in tune
At least I showed up
Which is more than I can say…for you

Shoulda known better, all my friends were right
I got an empty bank account, a deflated sense of pride
Too good to be true, I thought it was a good investment
I just wanted some attention not a long-term commitment

I wasn’t perfectly in tune
At least I showed up
Which is more than I can say…for you

Hell no, I ain’t responding to you
When you ask me if I’m free
On second thought, I got nothing to do
Things could go differently

I’ll never be perfectly in tune
Just show up, that’s all I’ll ever ask of you
