about

This was the most frustrating track thus far in both writing and recording.
The mantra "finished, not perfect" was repeated to myself many a time.
I like the premise that I had, but I think my execution could be stronger.

lyrics

Pineapple tastes good on pizza, I don't care what you say
and I believe in a mandatory Taco Tuesday
it's gif not jif
roof not ruff
and briefs to keep me dry
mushroms are freakin' great
and I can't stand the word penalize

These are my opinions
You're allowed to disagree
But not with a recording
I won't hear your plea

Maybe send a postcard
An email will do
Just understand you should spend time on the things that matter to you

For me it's toilet paper going over
And admitting selfies are fun
Unicorns aren't related to horses

Knowing there was room on the door for both Jack and Rose
Everything beats a Windows phone
A hot dog is a submarine; still the weirdest kind of meat
I sometimes enjoy Nickelback
Using the emoji hands
I'll take dogs over cats
cake over pie
and waffles over pancakes 'cause the ridges hold my syrup so well

These are my opinions
You're allowed to disagree
But not while I'm performing
That's not cool socially

Maybe send an email
An angry Tweet will do
Just understand you should spend time on the things that matter to you

We should all treat each other a little better
Stop sweating over my favourite weather (overcast)
I haven't seen Star Wars, so I guess Star Trek's better?

Does that make you mad?
Does it make you mad

that I'll always put pineapple on my pizza
If you don't like it
then you can just
take it off

'Cause it's pretty nice of me to be buying you pizza

Settle Down
by Julia Nunes

I haven't gotten enough of Julia Nunes and I've been listening to her for a decade. Just the right amount of emotions in every hook. The first time I picked up a ukulele was to cover one of her songs. Tall Mark

Am I Doing This Right?
by Chad Neidt

I'd love to collaborate with this guy one day. Similar humour-filled lyrical goodness and a great production quality on his first Kickstarted album. Tall Mark
