about

I wrote this today about some of what I've been thinking about lately. It's kind of a fun existential crisis song mixed with a rant about the rigged socio-economic caste system.

lyrics

Lyrics:
My eyes aren’t even open yet
Starting the day with an existential crisis
Morbidly aware of inevitable death
Got too much to do, but not enough life to do it
Oh well

Today is gonna be okay
Well, I don’t know, maybe
Oh, never mind, it’s rainin’
I guess I’m gonna stay in

Watch Rushmore and text somebody
Who I know doesn’t like me
Eat peanut butter off a big spoon
Bash on the keyboard all afternoon

I’ve got decades of albums in my head
And dozens of books to write before I’m dead
I’ve got epiphanies to drop on people
Like a ton of painful, beautiful bricks
But I’m afraid that I don’t have enough time to do it
Oh well

Chorus

I mean, even if I’m lucky
And live to be eighty years old
I won’t have enough time to figure it out
With the resources currently available

If you’re in the 1%
And want to be a patron of my arts
I won’t feel guilty taking money from you
But deep down in my heart
I’ll know the systems rigged
That in this world in which we live
You’ve got the money, so you’ve the power
To decide who and what gets to exist

Do you like playing God?
Because guess what?
You’re more powerful than God.
You have a tangible effect on 99% of us.

Chorus

about

Maddi Mae Remington, Virginia

hi, this is a museum of a lot of the music i've made - the good and the bad.

my new song "die today" is totally different from the collection of songs i released in 2020. it's born out of just making music that felt good to me after hours at my music school/studio (sound house).

if you like the song, tell me about it please.
