Chloe Smiles: Golden Medal Garden Teas in Progress

Chloe Rimer

Because of the recent turn of events, recording music has been difficult since I no longer have access to The Wave studio. In place of a fully written, recorded, and mixed song, here’s something new I’ve been working on. The song’s basically about how it’s impossible to back out of your life, and how death doesn’t undo your existence, even if you really want it to. But, it’s better to make the most out of the trip because it’d really suck if you spent a lifetime wishing you never had one. The song is still really bumpy and far from done, but I hope you like it anyways.

Here are the lyrics (for now):

 

Yesterday I called my youth

Newly strayed with shit to do

Not enlightened but I like the view

Killing my time by two-fold

Greet a fate or grow old

It happens anyway

 

So I guess that I’ll go home

And just cry in bed

Just like a can phone

Strings are attached

Connecting me to everything

And so I negotiate with

Trivial too fraught proclivities

I wish I had seen the whole thing coming

 

Against my will I ran amidst

A plastic field of late friendships

Quite hard to articulate it

If I had previewed the show

I would’ve backed out long ago

Life happens anyway

 

So I guess that I’ll go home

And just cry in bed

Just like a can phone

Strings are attached

Connecting me to everything

And so I negotiate with

Trivial too fraught proclivities

I wish I had seen the whole thing coming
