about

written for prf songwriting challenge, week 2, "4th grade."

i've said it elsewhere - i frickin' love mellotron. the lyrics are intentionally blurry and mumbly. partially because it's evocative of the blurriness of memory, partially because i wanted it to sound like elementary school choirs, where you can't tell what the hell those kids are singing about.

lyrics

kids were nice
i was awful
i may have gotten that backwards

these desks and chairs
they don't fit me

growing up is a blur
