she's too good for me
Kid Lightbulbs
This isn’t what i wanted I don’t know what is good Should I take her out or leave it With guilt i’ll be consumed She showed what she was made of Bends and aches before she breaks I’ve got nothing to give her And something dark inside her shakes I don't know how to help her As she lay there in the litter Red and flowing with the river She doesn’t know i need her

STEP INTO THE OCEAN is a spiritual sequel. Where THROW MYSELF INTO THE BAY captured a privileged man in his 30s not handling a string of life-changing events well at all, this album is his stopping, slowing down, and looking critically at what's most important around him – including his own thoughts.

This album was (mostly) written 7-10 years before my last album was written, but I was too consumed by impostor syndrome to release or promote it. It meant something different then – I wrote it in the throes of living together with my partner for the first time, and the ups & downs that came with that. Revisiting this material 10 years later caused it to take on new meaning.
