about

This was my birthday song challenge 2020 -- to put out my first solo song -- and I'm really proud of how it all came out.
Back then it was just a wayward demo. Now it is the launch of Knob Ross, and the first installment in a 16-song double music-and-video album Getting Yer Shit Together And Eating It Too.

There's a music video too! linktr.ee/knobross

Written (minus a loose, two-week-old chord progression), recorded, mixed, mastered and music video made in a week just to see what would happen! I wanted to get it done finally before marking another trip around the sun :) Now it's b

Enjoy.

lyrics

I'm the same way
As I ever was
'Sposed to be human
But I don't know what a human does
And out of nowhere
Some new anxiety comes
Still feeling tired
Getting wired with my coffee cup

I have a hard time / And that's a long time
Going outside / To be inside
But it gets better... right? Yeah sure, totally.

It's okay that you're not okay
It'll be alright
You can still be happy
"Alright!"
Maybe not right now,
I have no idea how
But we're gonna ride this out
and Be Happy...

I'm the same way,
I'm just like everyone
Scared of the future like
What have I ever even really done?
And out of nowhere
Some new anxiety stars
Feeling panicked packing static
In my shopping cart

I have a hard time / And that's a long time
Going outside / To be inside
But it gets better... right? Yeah sure, totally.

It's okay that you're not okay
It'll be alright
We can still be happy
"Alright!"
Maybe not right now,
I have no idea how
But we're gonna ride this out
and Be Happy... yeah!

Yeah I don't know... I guess I'm just a little tired.
I'm just kind of out of it today,
Don't feel so good.
It'll be fine, I'm sure it's nothing.
I should be getting more things done,
I just have to get over it.
Right?
...Or maybe something's actually legitimately very very wrong
And I'm having a hard time dealing with it
And maybe that's okay.
Maybe things aren't black-and-white good or bad
But more complicated than that
And maybe it's not like shit was perfect anyway.

It's okay that you're not okay
It'll be alright
It's okay to be happy
"Alright!"
Maybe not right now,
I have no idea how
But we're gonna ride this out
and Be Happy... yeah!
