Something Casual (Original)

I was playing about with some ideas and thought how pointlessly important it is to surround yourself in particular social circles. For whatever reason. That's kind of what this one is about, that and a disgusting night of fake intimacy.

Lyrics (even though they're in the video):

Bruising my shoulders, to fit in tonight
well I came with nothing, and
someone said well that's alright,

Never could understand forcing how I feel
but we got, reputations, and invitations..

Tomorrow I've got nothing, so I guess
tonight is something, something I wont
regret, some fake and fearful loving,

my dreams are always strange and
somehow they're getting stranger,
if home is where the heartache is i'll be
staying here forever..

I'm terrified of your, goodbye eyes and your,
lazy smile but i'm right beside you all the while
You're something pure and you're, something
casual, something meaningful and something vile..

Rediscovering this one and my god dude... Completely jealous. You blow me away. Sea & State still a possibility? ;)

[Lifeisamazing]

@aseaofgreen1 Sea & State was possibly the best idea that never came to fruition..

You might be as great at Conor...and that's tough to do. Your screaming reminds me of Conor's screaming in If Winter Ends.

@MilaStatic I of course, have to disagree, but thanks!! :)

Please get big or record more, because I only listen to Dan Johnston and Bright Eyes pretty much and somehow your songs are like, I want to listen to you now too. Like, special. Beautiful even. I really love this do you have any records or anything? I'd go buy one if you did.

@the1995calendar Wow! i can't really get my head around that.. I don't really have any records as such, I mean you can go over to my stateofblue.bancamp and there's a bunch of my recordings there. Thank you so much!

"if home is where the heartache is, I'll be staying here forever"

It made me cry the first time I heard it. It's one of your best....

Definitely get a bright eyes feel from it man

You're exactly what I dream of being musically. I'm in the process of trying to write my own music and failing and what you're doing in this video is exactly what I wish I could be. Conor has definitely rubbed off on you, and I hope one day he'll inspire my music as well :(

I only saw two of your Bright Eyes covers so, I probably can't make a a real comparison but, from what I've seen, this is SO much better than those. And, I liked those. I really do think that you deserve some kind of recording contract because you're not only really good at singing, but you're a great songwriter as well. I like how artsy this video is too. It actually reminds me of some of my bf's photography and I think it helps to get your point across even better.
