lyrics
I'm going to act like a big, bad, confident man
And I'm going to pack in just as many words as I can
And I'll scream them 'til my throat is raw, my lungs have burst
And I've died for a song
Singing sounds best when you sing like you're going to expire
If you want to see tears, better sing like your hair is on fire
Wallop your audience right in the gut
The one thing that counts is how deep you cut
It doesn't matter if you're out of tune when you howl like a damn hamadryas baboon
So I'm going to act like a big, bad, confident man
And I'm going to pack in just as many words as I can
And I'll scream them 'til my throat is raw and my lungs have burst
And I've died for a song
Burst lungs
Burst lungs
Wallop your audience right in the gut
The one thing that counts is how deep you cut
It doesn't matter if you're out of tune when you howl like a damn hamadryas baboon
So I'm going to act like a big, bad, confident man
And I'm going to pack in just as many words as I can
And I'll scream them 'til my throat is raw and my lungs have burst
And I've died for a song

Josh is a quiet and fragile man who makes quiet and fragile music. He calls it 'garage folk' but I don't think that's a real genre. I think he made it up. Shiny Tiger
Ed is super good at everything (music, comics, videos) and it's kind of depressing. His songs tend to be pretty cheerful, yet they always hint at a VAST UNDERLYING OCEAN OF MELANCHOLY AAH Shiny Tiger
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
A trio of songs from indie rock veterans, “3ingle” showcases their songwriting skill with pared-back, acoustic arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 8, 2018
