New Song: Obituary
🕑 Added 2023-02-28 19:56:52 +0000 UTCSo! I just impulsively shared a new song I've been working on the past few months while streaming on YouTube. I feel it's only fair to share here as well!
This is Adam's latest mix and it's 99% there to my ears. There still isn't an official plan or timeline to release.
I have a lot to say about it, but I'll save it for when there's a proper release.
Hope you enjoy,
Lyrics:
Writing my obituary
Eggplant, peach and fire emojis
Buried with the baptists
Champagne at the wake
The viewings open casket
The body is a cake
There was a rain cloud
above our bed
There was a stampede
Inside your head
When it convinced you
Everything was crumbling
I said “I’ll be buried
At your altar for forever amen”
The world was ending
Since before the beginning of time
It’s alright, it’s alright
It took a minute to get it
But I really don’t mind
It’s alright, it’s alright
May your cup overflow
As the oceans rise below
I’ll be singing in the clouds
When the sky falls down
It’s alright, it’s alright
I’ll be getting dressed up
As the building burns down
I’ll be soaking in the tub
When the bottom drops out
Reading through the dictionary
Every words unnecessary
I think I’ll make a new one
And fill up every page
With optical illusions
Of consciousness attained
There was a snow storm
Outside our room
There was a sunbeam
Inside of you
The cold grew distant
The darkness turned
To sparkling gold
The scales lifted from my eyes
And the light exploded
It is my weapon
It is my shield
It is my fortress
Amidst the battlefield
Our time is fleeting
I feel it in the depths of my soul
So I’ll be basking in the sun
Until it swallows us whole
The world was ending
Since before the beginning of time
It’s alright, it’s alright
It took a minute to get it
But I really don’t mind
It’s alright, it’s alright
May your cup overflow
As the oceans rise below
I’ll be singing in the clouds
When the sky falls down
It’s alright, it’s alright
Facing down the gun
With my head above the sky
I am blinded by the sun
When I look into your eyes
I’ll be putting on a tux
I’ll be singing in the sky
Staring straight into the sun
It’s alright

Holy shit, this was so worth the wait; I love this song so much.
Kerry
Great song man, very Sideshow-ish
Cooley
"It took a minute to get it" I love how that line flows. Perfect cadence and inflection. 🍆🍑🔥

Initial listen, loving it, playfully sincere lyrics, and suddenly I'm crying when "it's alright" keeps tolling. You know something is good when it feels like it could be written for you in that moment.

Great shit! Can't wait to see y'all at the Gramercy!

It has an 80's Paul Simon vibe, but darker. Blending the sound of your funny and serious stuff in a magical way here. Truly great song. It hit me just right this morning and I got a little teary eyed.

Ha! I didn’t know that I did, but apparently I do! I must have installed that awhile ago and forgotten it. Thanks for the explainer! 😂

Nailed it

Love this. It’s definitely more than alright! I know lyrics can be interpreted in different ways but to me this hits upon that need to embrace what’s beautiful in life despite all the darkness and threat we have to navigate. That beauty being family, friends, meaningful purpose, art or just appreciating existence. The Lutskoverse really is an inspiring tonic! Thanks for sharing it early! It’s appreciated!
Leesie Telechan
I love it so much!

I want this playing as the credits roll on my life.

Oh yeah you could LOAD this song with puppets. Love it.

I love your comedy songs so much but I am so so so happy you came out with a more serious one again
Jennie Wilson
What a treat!!! I love everything you make, but I live for your "real" music. Thanks, Nick!

This song: it’s alright. It’s alright.

Why is the word "clouds" replaced with the word "butts?" I'm chortling to myself, lol
Scott Baker
