about

Troy and I like the 1980s. This is a song from a project we're writing about the 1980s, which was the decade with the most grids and triangles.

lyrics

I was born in the middle of a big tornado
I was conceived by cigarettes
I built my brother and my sister out of Play-Doh
I made them look like marionettes

You should have left me there on the side of 55
Struggling and scratching just to make it to the other side
You were looking at me like I wouldn't make it out
Ask me again what I'm talking about

John Krane recommends:

Windjammer
by Carl Hauck

Carl's songs are incredibly literate and feature great melodies. He sort of sounds like Andrew Bird, except with more of a jazzy take on things, and his songs all have a certain warmth to them. John Krane
