I'd like to take a moment to appreciate David Lynch, who passed a few days ago. He was one of the most major inspirations for me on this film. At the time I wrote it in 10th grade, I had just begun to delve into his work as an artist and I don't think this project would exist without him. His use of dream logic, non-linear story lines, and unconventional plots had a huge influence on me and gave me the confidence to make art like this-- a piece that is extremely personal to me, and yet may have a different meaning for everyone. He taught me that as long as it was important to me and came from the heart, it was worth making, even if I didn't necessarily know what it meant (which, at the time of writing it, I didn't. It grew clearer and clearer to me in the 3 or so years between writing and shooting). Rest in peace Mr. Lynch, a truly original artist.

Instantly subscribed
Yay yay yay
Can you do anything except drop bangers 😭 the tune, the instrumentals, the vocals, the lyrics, sheer perfection <3
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully we should have more out soon.
Can't stop listening to this song on repeat.. fucking amazing!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Excellent, sounds just like John Lennon/ The Beetles, Did you know that all of the Fab 4 , The Beetles are/were of Irish stock, through mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and grandparents.
The Beatles were definitely a major influence for this song, they're by far my favorite artists of all time
shit goes hard
Fantastic!
Suena bastante a whats upp
Wow great song
Thanks!
@@isaiahnaimjohnson4667 I think I’ve played your song at least 10 times can’t wait to hear your next song ❤
perfect
25 years and my life is still..
This is so freaking good, I really hope you guys get more recognition!!!!
Thank you so much! This is the first song we've put out, and we're very proud of it! Another one should be up tomorrow, bit of a different style, but we still think it's a good one!
@@isaiahnaimjohnson4667 I keep coming back to this, yet I didn't see your reply, sorry! I'll check that out too :)
AND I WAKE IN THE MORNING AND STEP OUTSIDE
Pretty sure this one is gonna blow up, I just wanna say I was here 4th
One can only hope! I'm glad you liked it.
Reminds me of one Bob Dylan song ? The notes ? Anyone ? It on my mind , I’ll Remember it in a little while :-)
whats up by 4 non blondes
This sounds like John Lennon/ The Beetles, George Harrison was once a neighbor of mine years ago, God bless all the beetles with many skills, goodness and understanding of their fellow man who suffered from brutal wars and injustice,
That means so much! Dylan was definitely an influence, he's an artist who I absolutely adore.
❤❤❤
Heartbreak Probably the largest percentage of music is written about. Nice Song
Awooga
