Piano Teacher, here I am for class
I didn't do a single thing you asked
I'm still waiting for this shit to get fun
Piano Teacher, don't you act so stressed
'cause when I leave my mom will cut your check
we all get what we want (except my mom)
If the story could fast-forward I would smash that button now
I'm not the next all-star, I'm hardly an artist
I bought this guitar and I'm trying my hardest
when I'm by myself nothing can stop me
but I can't perform if there's anyone watching
When I hit play I'm still in the same place
Piano Teacher, my old soccer coach,
college professor, everyone I know
I'm sorry I couldn't listen to you then
It wasn't your fault I abandoned it
I only learn when I am passionate
but when I am I cannot be controlled
If the story could fast-forward I would clamp that button down...
I'm not the next all-star, I'm hardly an artist
I bought this guitar and I'm trying my hardest
when I'm by myself nothing can stop me
but I can't perform if there's anyone watching
When I hit play I'm still in the same place
I'm hardly an artist
two notes in my guitar riff
and no signs of stopping.
Look ma, watch me
I'm hardly an artist
two notes in my guitar riff
and no signs of stopping.
Look ma, watch me
I'm not the next all-star, I'm hardly an artist
I bought this guitar and I'm trying my hardest
when I'm by myself nothing can stop me
but I can't perform if there's anyone watching
It's all fun and games 'till you find your profession
then you look back on a lifetime of lessons
I won't spend a penny on one more obsession
I'll take my hobby before your investment
But I've been skipping the best moments
now I'm done and all I hope is
when I hit play: I'm back in the same place

I love this album because it seamlessly combines a spoken word narrative with music. I love how sonically diverse it is!
I also love the fact that, even though the album is about a very specific life experience, the album contains emotions that feel very universal. Overall, it's a great listen. elainachristine
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music. vonvanna
