1. Crybaby
I wrote this song on break while I was working a day job that was really taking the life outta me, and I didn’t really feel much momentum going in my music career. I felt stuck, as well as I felt this overwhelming feeling bubbling up underneath the surface. I was in love with someone at the time who I hadn’t’ expressed my feelings for yet and they were about to move to Paris. A couple weeks later I wrote the hook and second verse after a psychedelic experience, during which a good friend who had recently moved to Chicago, facetimed me and I just immediately started crying. I remember missing him so much but couldn’t quite get the words out before then. It felt so good to release that emotion. Both of these people who meant so much to me were far away, distant, and it was aching my heart. That’s where this song came from and I hope it connects with others.
