1.	unconscious states 02:30	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2020 while I was working on 1. Originally just voice and acoustic guitar. I thought it was too cute at the time and set it aside. Circled back around to it at the top of 2022 tho and did the full band arrangement. Still took me four years to release it tho Up against the window You fall into an unconscious state Unconscious state Daydream my way home You fall into an unconscious state Unconscious state Didn't mean to kick you while you're down Didn't mean to tug your heart around I didn't mean it But that's just what you say Didn't mean to kick you while you're down Didn't mean to tug your heart around I didn't mean it But that's just what you say When we're driving back home You wake up in your clothes Unconscious state Unconscious state At the back of a show You wake up in an unconscious state Unconscious state Didn't mean to kick you while you're down Didn't mean to tug your heart around I didn't mean it But that's just what you say Didn't mean to kick you while you're down Didn't mean to tug your heart around I didn't mean it But that's just what you say Oh la la la la la Unconscious state Unconscious state Oh la la la la la Unconscious state Unconscious state
2.	Sweat 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2022 while working on the followup to 3: a double album of mostly acoustic songs. Ended up losing steam on the project tho and ultimately put the concept to rest. But not before I obsessed over this song for a year, trying a million different versions with guitar overdubs, piano, and even violin--all of which I abandoned. In the end, it was Joey himself who cracked the code by lending me a box of old harmonicas. A lot of dust was ingested while tracking the harmonica parts, but I'd say it was well worth it. Joey I wanted to call So tired I had to crawl I fall asleep on your couch Whenever we hang out I want to know Are we still bros Can't be undone Cuz even apart we are one Joey why didn't you call Do you not miss me at all? I miss you and I'm appalled What came first? Harm or hurt? I want to know Are we still close Can't be undone Cuz even apart we are one Shake my hand Fingers crossed behind your back I'm still your man And I want to see you sweat Joey I want you to know I love you and we're still bros Until you're ready to go Let's zone out to Pet Sounds We're getting old But we're still dope Can't be undone Cuz even apart we are one Shake my hand Fingers crossed behind your back I'm still your man And I want to see you sweat I want to see you sweat I want to see you sweat I want to see you sweat
3.	Sofa 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2021 while I was living near UCLA. The irony is I didn't even own a sofa at the time, just some IKEA armchair that I'd sprawl out in. So perhaps the song is more aspirational than anything. This one is lucky to see the light of day at all, since my Ableton file somehow got corrupted and refused to open. Had to turn to Reddit to find the solution and literally had to edit lines of code in order to fix the issue. Shoutout r/ableton lol Sofa There for me when I come home There for me when I'm alone Passing the time as I look at my phone My sofa is there Sofa Never could make me feel pain Never could call me no names Never will I ever feel so ashamed To lay on my sofa Ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba Sunshine Just makes me want to wear black Just makes me want to go back Onto my sofa and try to relax The sunshine it is here Old friend I hear you're moving out soon Under the light of the moon I left some part of me there in your room My old friend isn't here Ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba Sofa There for me when I come home There for me when I'm alone Passing the time as I look at my phone My sofa is there
4.	the opposite of ok 01:57	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2021. Just a cheeky little punk song. Originally named this one "ok", but when the real song "ok" came around I renamed this one "the opposite of ok". Always thought it would be funny to have them side by side on the same album, but this flow just worked better. I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions I've got Feelings with a capital 'F' Capital 'E' Emotions The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok The opposite of ok
5.	John Hughes Film 03:19	lyrics
Written in 2020 while I was gathering songs for 2. I even watched The Breakfast Club for inspo. Didn't make the cut for 2, and didn't fit the concept for 3. Ended up just releasing it as a random single, but now it's finally got a home. And name another song that name-drops Matthew Broderick as well as David Bowie! John Hughes film, another John Hughes film When I need something to feel good John Hughes film, another John Hughes film That Great American Childhood I'm six years old Sleepovers and 'Home Alone' I'm freaking out Laying traps in my own house John Hughes film, another John Hughes film That Great American Roadtrip I watched another John Hughes film From the backseat of a minivan I'm mad about Ferris singing "Twist And Shout" Now I know that Ferris was a spoiled brat Oh save me from This disaster I've become Surviving on narratives that are all wrong Obsessed with youth Matthew Broderick wouldn't approve Now I've convinced happy endings don't exist John Hughes film, another John Hughes film I used to think they were useful John Hughes film, another John Hughes film Cliches and family values We'll rise above Morals from 'The Breakfast Club' 'Saved By The Bell' 80s movies don't age well Oh save me from This disaster I've become Surviving on narratives that are all wrong Obsessed with youth David Bowie wouldn't approve Now I've convinced happy endings don't exist John Hughes film, another John Hughes film I used to think they were useful
6.	feel like will toledo 01:09	lyrics	buy track
Just an ode to a genius who wrote an ode to yet another genius. IYKYK. I am but a humble student of the masters who came before me, and hope my silly little songs inspire somebody one day too. Shoutout Will. Your music changed my life and helped me realize I was queer. Shoutout Daniel. Your spirit lives on in your masterful songwriting. There's a guy who makes a living putting himself down Helped me learn to write a song And helped me to come out I feel like Will Toledo (I feel like Will Toledo) Or is it Will Torpedo? (Or is it Will Torpedo?) I think it's Will Toledo (I think it's Will Toledo) I feel like Will Toledo (I feel like Will Toledo)
7.	Capri Sun 02:13	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2022. Originally called "Fess Up", this track never went anywhere until I rewrote the lyrics and refashioned it "Capri Sun". Felt like a splash of sunlight at a time when a lot of my songs were pretty glum. Fun fact, the bass is just a guitar pitched down with a pedal, and the drums are just a drum loop that came programmed on the very same pedal. Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun Capri Sun You'll be feeling so much better And you can keep it up forever And know the lie is always better when it's in your head Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) You'll be feeling so much better And you can keep it up forever And we can work it out together once it's off your chest Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) Capri Sun (Don't be sad) You'll be feeling so much better And you can keep this up forever And we can work it out together once it's off your chest
8.	ok 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2021. I'm super proud of this one! Kept waiting for the perf album to stick it on, but somehow it never fit the bill. Meanwhile, its lyrics were bleeding into other songs like "So Much, So Mad". Obviously the song itself was dying to be released, but as time went on it just didn't feel like a reflection of me anymore so I never put it out. UNTIL NOW! We don't talk to that boy anymore He's no different than the boys before Spitting off the bridge Will you count with me? Thirteen seconds to reach the sea Now I'm hunched over the kitchen sink Turn off Revolver so I can think Hot water always seems cold at first My collar's all wet And I woke up thirsty Morning, afternoon, and after dark You know I could be your work of art Forgive and forget and move along I'll still be around after you're gone Now I'm hunched over the kitchen sink Turn off Revolver so I can think Hot water always seems cold at first My collar's all wet And I woke up thirsty I don't really mind what they all say All I wanna know is are we ok All I wanna know is are we ok All I wanna know is are we ok
9.	tickets for the dance 02:07	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2021. Another song featuring music from another song! Repurposed Elliott Smith, repurposed Big Star, and repurposed Alex G. What can I say y'all, I wear my influences on my sleeve. Hope it encourages y'all to go listen to the masters do their holy work! I'm alright if you wanna stay up past 2 We're the best of friends Wake up and do it all again Pull up at the house Mamas minivan now And you're coming outside And you're shining in your eyes At the liquor store Fake I.D. in my hands Taken at the door I've got tickets for the dance I'm alright if you wanna dance with that dude We're the best of friends Wake up and do it all again
10.	grudge pt2 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2022. Love this one. Another castaway from the double album. And what about grudge pt1??? I'll never tell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart I love you with all my heart
11.	Check Engine Light 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2020. Recorded in 2022. Perfected never. Still love the guitar solo though! And it's features a toy piano I bought from Goodwill for $20. And if that's not a W, then I don't know what is. Alex didn't wake up today He just kept on sleeping Ceased to exist Withdrawing from everything The opposite of ok That's what this is There are no words to convey Such revoltion It can be so hard to explain But I'm trying to piece it together It's all shadow but no shade When you're shining bright my brother Do you remember that drive to San Fransisco We tried to see how long we could go without talking Twenty minutes later something broke the silence Somehow a wasp got into the car at 80 miles per hour Now I'm doing that drive again All by my lonesome And we still not talking But I'm not laughing And there's no wasp here with me Keeping my company All I have is my check engine light It can be so hard to explain But I'm trying to piece it together It's all shadow but no shade When you're shining bright my brother Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry Please don't get angry
12.	This Old Brain 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Written in 2023. Return of the dusty harmonicas! I love this track, but I don't see it fitting on future YS albums, so b-sides it is. This one came so easily and naturally; it was a dream to write. Sped the track up which makes me sound like a teenager a la "When I'm Sixty Four". This old brain doesn't work so good these days It's been weighing down my head like novocain It's been playing tricks on me like a string that never ends It don't know if we're still friends This old brain This old brain doesn't like to stay up late But it won't sleep when I'm working the next day And I'm shaking so much that the screws are coming out I'm foaming at the mouth This old brain This old brain likes to smoke Mary Jane Likes to suffer some and sage it all away It wants pain to a point Likes to dress in corduroy And it speaks with your voice This old brain

about

Just some oddball songs that I couldn't find a home for on any of the other records. Call em b-sides, call em rarities, call em hand-me-downs. Just enjoy them, and remember that misfits belong together
