Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Recording & Editing by Ben Visini
Mastered with Cloudbounce
Embarrassing childhood memories keeping you awake at night? Wish you could do things differently? same
UPDATE: Due to my schedule getting a little packed, for these next 3 weeks, the videos are going to have to be much simpler like this one is so I have more time. Still doing one song a week! Will reveal what I'm working on outside of the weekly songs when the time is right!
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!
100% of my Bandcamp earnings for the rest of the month will be donated to Bail Funds/BLM initiatives. Find out how you can support:

LYRICS
Wake up at 3, can't go to sleep
See everything
The memories a younger me
Embarrassing
What I would give to live a day, an hour
To have a second try
Dreaming of doing right
But I can't point out why
Why I seem to care, it's in the past
So have a drink, so have a laugh
Despite my fuck ups I still made it here
Take a moment, have perspective
Everyone gets introspective
7 years I'll be reminiscing
On this moment and think "I'm better now"
As I'm lying in my bed
Everything I've ever said
Starts to circle in my head
All connected with a thread
(I don't know why I said that
I don't know why I did that)
This is why I had no friends
And if I did then they were just pretend
And it's happening again
I'm no different, there's no end
(Who was I?)
Still connecting all the dots
Tie the strings, look what I've got
Just a mess of yarn and knots
Regretting what I am and what I'm not
And I'm just about to break
I don't want to be awake
Take the biggest breath I can take
There's still choices I can make
The fact that I can criticize
My former self must mean I'm wise
The current me's the dumbass of tomorrow
Take a moment, have perspective
Everyone gets introspective
7 years I'll be reminiscing
On this moment and think "I'm better now"
