I wish I could be somebody else
Somebody you'd like
With the answers you'd like
Then I wouldn't have to stay up at night
I wish I could be somebody else
What if I'm more obsessed with you than anyone I meet?
Most days I think I'll never land on my feet
I can't even see my feet
I'm just obsessed with me, aren't I
I wish I could be somebody else
Somebody you'd like
With the answers you'd like
The kind to keep us up at night
I wish I could be somebody else
I don't have epiphanies, just things I never thought about
Because there so obvious IIII'm embarassed how long it took to figure out
My problems are still there, I just don't write them down
I don't write so well sometimes, well, you know
I put on jeans to write this
Maybe sweatpants would have been more symbolic
Else, Old English (elles--related to elles in French?); Proto-Germanic (aljaz), Gothic Aljis; Roman, Alius; Greek, Allos.
Can we go back any farther?
How far back in history do we have to go before I find me?
In the march of history what will become of me?
Maybe I should be an attorney at law?
Would I want to be an attorney at all
Could I have been put on this earth to own my very own house?
Put me in the pleasure box and I'll figure it out!
I'm trying to be somebody else
Somebody else—else—else—else
I guess we'll see?

Mix'd by Jordan
A meticulously crafted sonic journey, a record that rewards careful attention with a seemingly endless string of surprises from song to song. No Moniker
It is very difficult to make an interesting ambient soundscape, and it's also very difficult to make a good pop song. I don't know how you're supposed to do both at the same time but OMW manages it! No Moniker
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 15, 2023
More easy, breezy, effortless indie pop from Australian duo Deuce, infused with folk-rock warmth and dream-pop glitter for textural oomph. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2021
