about

During the pandemic the messiness of the world including the loss of my father turned my head into mush. When I pushed myself to move on with it, I imagined I’d joined the Muppets and was just "tagging along and feeling dumb” allowing something light and bright to carrying me forward. This became one of my favorite ways to cope. Experimenting with minimal equipment, and self recording at home with the help of my talented bandmate Jason Lam, I created a breezy pop song (first time with synth horns) which I hope becomes a plush soundscape for the summer days ahead complete with psychoacoustic noise which Jason says is supposed to work subliminally in your mind to make you feel extra good.

lyrics

Summer’s winding down
There’s no plans to getaway
Always breezing by
what’s difficult to say.

I’m stuck in your feed
You’re no mystery
Zoom into your heart
And there’s a ship lost at sea.

Bomb shelter
I’m still here
I’m tagging along
and I’m feeling dumb
but I’m just being real.

Glitter In her Eyes
Ruby falls from grace
Tracing all the lies
which she’d rather erase

Infraction, what a distraction
Secrets take up space.
What's best is on the line
No matter where you place.

Bomb shelter
I’m still here
I’m tagging along
and I’m feeling dumb
but I’m just being real.

Oh! That’s a good one.
You make me feel like a star
Let’s give it a minute
Get lost again in this sweet charade

Bomb shelter
I’m still here
I’m tagging along
and I’m feeling dumb
but I’m just being real.

Bomb shelter
I’m still here
I’m tagging along
and I’m feeling dumb
but I’m just being real. I’m just being real, well I’m just being real.
