about

This song was a song-game assignment. I was given the title and had to build it from there. I like the second person perspective. It's a comfy place for me. The video was fun to make on my iPad, frame by frame, with a small dog burrowed into my hip, while avoiding an online defensive driving deadline. I like lyric videos and the way the song seems like its talking to you while you watch. I could sit on my couch and draw videos all day.

lyrics

She can tell tall tales she learned in the cradle
She can whisper low and quiet a room
She can wear high heels and dress like an angel
And with a laser pointer she’ll dissect your doom

And she won’t leave you alone when you cry
No, she won’t leave you to cry
She’s so bad at the good times, yeah she’s bad at good times

See her comfortable in bent situations
She speaks her mind when misunderstood
She can sleep all night, she don’t feel no pressure
And from her heart she cries for the less fortunate

And she’s the best thing in your life
She’s the best thing in your life
She’s so bad at the good times, yeah she’s bad at good times

Though songwriting has yet to lead to fame & fortune, opportunity, adventure, & delight have yet to cease. ... more
