An ex girlfriend (the same one this entire album is inspired by, actually) called me randomly to catch up. When we got off the phone I felt inspired to document the emotions the phone call had triggered. Being in the middle of a move, all I had was my fostex recorder and the cheap mic that didn't make it into a studio box. That's why the entire instrumental is synthetic.
lyrics
"you called me just now
i want to know what your dream was about
and if i was made a man
you looked at me and said
i’m not ready for bed
and if we could kill ourselves?
there were 40 other people in the room
no no no i thought about it
and you were the only one
did you put up your hair?
i know it’s been three years
but i felt inclined to ask
why it was you left
before i could clean up the mess
that i made of 2006
was it the 47 fights we had a day?
and the thoughts that kept me thinking
i wasn’t the only one
was it us ruining a special little girl
i heard she’s doing so much better
without pollution in her world
i have to go, i think he just came home"
This album is one of my favorite albums because of how raw and pure it sounds. The true emotion that comes from Jay's performance is more than believable and it's what helps Crywank stick as a proper musical icon. 10/10 would recommend to everyone if they were more than willing to give it a try. saintjimmy57
