zombies 04:09
*this recording was performed intoxicated and the lyrics were impromptu; the following is a more refined interpretation i reference for performances* i came here to san francisco to seek a better life but what i saw was a bunch of personal demons and thoughts running high and i thought i’d learn a lot but instead i found a bunch of zombies it hurts and i miss the past hurts because i can’t stand your tone and i went to a party and i drank some alcohol and i saw those all familiar faces and they all told me they asked for my star sign and i sighed they said that they wouldn’t comply because i am a gemini and i am sick sick of all those faces telling me how i should think and not think and i am sad ‘cause i miss my friends at home yes i’m sad because i want my old life back and it hurts oh it hurts to think of the rolling hills of tamalpais valley it hurts to think of the endless farmland of bolinas, really! and i can’t stand of these LA folk and a giant popularity contest outside of high school and i can’t stand all of these fake faces and i can’t stand all of these odd places i am fried im drunk

i’ve found a place where it is easy to cry it’s known as the bed, the bed x3 it wouldn’t hurt to visit this place x2 it really wouldn’t hurt i know where i can run to shed a tear where i can realize i’m full of fear but i know, i’ll be alright despite all this strife and it will resolve itself beating around these thoughts its weird to think that i have nothing to say what is there to do stuck in a room i’ve found a place where it is easy to cry x8

*this recording was impromptu; the following is a more refined interpretation of lyrics i reference for performances* note: this song was inspired/performed in homage to daniel johnston’s “a little story” there was this great big guy and he had a great big feeling he knew what all the people wanted but the people they turned wicked instead of being good oh, they were to wicked to properly love, the stars and the sky; they were not happy, with this whole world

*this recording was impromptu and the following is a more refined interpretation of lyrics. this is not a version (lyrically) that i usually perform* you wanted to run away (x2) you didn’t like your town you didn’t bide your time i slogged around ive come to realize that its not ok its not ok go inside the door walk inside of all your doors it seems you’ve found your place it seems you want to escape in 667 should’ve been 666 the number of the beast (x2) we all love the outro its come to take you now (x2) you wanted to leave (x4) you wanted to relieve (x4)

oh dear 05:23
*this recording was impromptu; the following is a more refined interpretation of lyrics i reference for performances* oh dear its been way to long (x2) when you come out to me when you come to me when you said that you’d come back to me you won’t mind me being you don’t matter at all to me all of the things you did to her all of the things you said were hurtful and when you wanted to date me i lost myself and when the day came when you took it all away i want my head back i want it back you took it away took it away

*this recording was impromptu; the following is a more refined interpretation of lyrics i reference for performances* they cursed them all with sadness and startled their memories daddy in 2009 showed me the world within its prime barely, with some holes in walls showing the world with his best intent put on your stereo things will get bad (x4) things would get better now its 2017 their words are mean the worlds coming to an end and i’m going through it i don’t wanna say I’m proud this time because life goes on but i can’t help it i guess i can’t help it but now I’m sorry for scaring you i hate myself more than anyone i left all my bullies zip-tied in drawers by my bed and I’m trying trying just for you she said, “ok that’s all i can ask” and i said, i said that’s all i can give that’s ok you sure? of course 
i love you so much that’s what i said

daily memoir 01:14

had an epiphany the other day it was the only time it’s ever happened to me realized to stop thinking straight happiness is futile without the use of drugs drove down to see some friends morally correct with the state of the world went outside to clear my mind and what i found was a tree went outside to resonate with the fallen trees for this hour is passing slow i have to numb my broken mind some more for the hours are passing fast had to seize the day or i’ll regret it down the line haven’t felt a single thing since i was 17 years old am i too caught in thought? or am i just going home to my place passing time will be a horrible task if you’re not equipped with the proper tools i don’t mind in my head in my head……

melan, melancholy summer seasons pass, felt like it's been so long oh, melancholy summer where oh where did i go wrong summer hopes and dreams are dead and gone i want to take it back, and remember it fond-ly melan, melancholy summer moved on, stowed away and gone oh, melancholy summer short as hell, but it had felt so long (chorus 2x)

about

smatter 2016-2022 is a collection of recordings, ideas, memoirs, and other oddities from over the past 6 years. comprised solely of sounds ripped from personally recorded cassette tapes, this album compiles and highlights my favorites into a 20-song album format.

all songs written/recorded/produced: charles delong*
*"william" is a lazy homage to the smiths.
