about

As Valentines Day is here, I thought I'd post this throwaway little part bio, part satire track from the perspective of someone who is cynical about the whole thing.

Or is he feeling real lonely and just wants to know what it is like to feel loved?

The reason I say that it is part bio is because the first two lines of the track were in a valentines card that was given to a girl as part of a prank someone played on me when I was at secondary school.

I recorded this originally around 2013 at home in my bedroom in Wanstead but I shelved it, as it was just a personal joke. As years have gone by, I thought "why not share it?" I came back to it and reworked it. So, as it is not part of a project, you can download it for free.

The picture was taken back in 2012, I think, by Chris Wyatt and was a bandstand gig at the aptly named Valentines Park in Ilford. It has been watercoloured for effect.

Happy Valentines Day all.

PS: This track is a private joke I decided to share with you and is not to be taken literally.

lyrics

"Roses are red and violets are blue,
You've got big (gasps), that's why I love you"
Written in a card that I never wrote
Reputation's trying to stay afloat

Doesn't matter that I'm doing my best
To seperate myself from the rest
As far as you're concerned when push comes to shove
It's my destiny to remain unloved

I'll get over it, but not really
I'm very good at coming off as silly
Raise a laugh or two but when the sun sets
Just staring at the ceiling lying in my bed

Doesn't matter that I'm doing my best
To seperate myself from the rest
As far as you're concerned when push comes to shove
It's my destiny to remain unloved

It doesn't matter anyway, honey
At least I'll be saving all of my money
