Lyrics about the power of simple songs and when people need them
"Songs meant to tell you absolutely not at all
And just be there when you find love or fall"
Lyrics about what an audience of "familiar faces" can mean to a veteran artist
"I wrote songs about growing up
And watched you grow too"
Lyrics about an analytical artist who feels divided from the world
"It's like there's a thick glass pane
Between the world and me"
Lyrics about how songs romanticize rural America while people ignore its real needs
"Just pretend there’s nothing wrong
And raise your can in a celebratory song"
Lyrics about listening to and relating to sad songs, but wishing you didn’t
"I hope these aren't my favorite songs one day
But for now I relate to every word they say"
About
I have always been fascinated by my own and others' powerful and sometimes complicated relationships with art and music.
As a consumer psychologist, designer, and academic researcher that works in the arts and entertainment, I've explored these ideas in science, theory, and industry.
In this EP, I sought to explore our relationships with art and music through lyrics because lyrics are uniquely powerful devices to catpure ideas and in this case they further function as a "meta" way to capture the artistic and psychological concepts.
In my wider Lyrics About work, I use original lyrics and the vehicle of AI music to capture and share ideas, showcase the powerful creative process of writing lyrics about ideas, and create drafts of artworks to be later polished in solo and collaborative projects.
You can contact me here about ideas, lyrics, collaborations, education, science, and design.
