Can I have a word?

notsewthegreat This is a deep and personal record; an incredibly creative way of telling the listeners of what happened, without exactly telling what happened. My first listen to it a week after it came out, and at the time I listened through it, but thought nothing much. as of now, I realize how personal this is and how appealing, and versatile the music is. I want to achieve the skill to create an album such as this, to tell a story and leave an ambiguity to the listener.

All vocals are wonderful Favorite track: Wanderer.

Can I feel again? Sometimes, I get overwhelmed by the world And I know, I need to wake up but my head's in the clouds And I would just need sometime by myself To reaccess my thoughts, and take back my life All these thoughts in my head They won't do me no good I need to figure out how to be in the mood, to be truly myself making music that I understood It won't come easily, yet I know what to do Gotta keep moving on, till I'm out of the blue Making music again is the feeling that I'll never lose Take me back to a time where I had felt so alive And to a place where my mind used to roam free Cry it out, it's ok, just keep on moving through the day Because I know that this will soon change Take me back to a time where I had felt so alive And to a place where my mind used to roam free I'll get there, day by day, just keep on moving as I wake and I'll slowly have the right Headspace Headspace I won't be so overwhelmed by the world Wake up, I'm now out of bed with my head in the clouds And i would still need some time for myself To reaccess my thoughts, and take back my life All these thoughts in my head They won't do me no good But I now understand how they can change my mood I can be better now since the past me never understood It'll be easier and I know what to do Need to reorganize, gotta cancel the queue I can feel it inside, and I wonder if they'll feel it too Take me back to a time where I had felt so alive And to a place where my mind used to roam free Cry it out, it's ok, just keep on moving through the day Because I know that this will soon change Take me back to a time where I had felt so alive And to a place where my mind used to roam free I'll get there, day by day, just keep on moving as I wake and I'll slowly have the right Headspace Just listen to me speak, then I'll listen right back Take me back to a time where I felt so alive This time I'm not overwhelmed by the world But will I remember to feel again?

Can I have a word? There's something on my mind It happened just last night and something isn't right If what I think is true, then I should talk to you.

Where do I begin? The words just won't come out Should I say just how I feel? I need to clear my head Can I have a word? (You may have a word) There's something on my mind (something on your mind?) It happened just last night (happened just last night?) and something isn't right (something isn't right) If what I think is true (oh what I said is true) I'll have this word with you (I'll have this word with you) if what I think is true (oh what I said is true) I'll have this word with you (I'll have this word with you) If what I said is true (I hear you, and I'm listening) If what I said is true (I hear you, and I'm listening) If what I said is true (I hear you, and I'm listening) If what I said is true Where do I begin? (Where would you begin?) Where do I begin? (Where would you begin?) Where do I begin? (Where would you begin?) The words just won't come out Should I say just how I feel? I need to clear my head

about

My new album "Can I have a word?" is out now. This is meant to be listened to in one sitting.

Leading up to the release, I thought about releasing singles and having a few teasers and all of that, but decided against it and wanted to drop this all at once. Singles/building hype doesn't feel right for this, as this isn't that kind of album. Personally I thought it'd be best to drop all at once, then upload the tracks solo at a later date with more context when I'm ready.

This is a very personal record, and one that I didn't plan on making. It's about an experience that happened to me last year, and how I dealt with it and moved forward. I know I've been away for quite a while and I hope this album can explain why, as I personally don't feel ready to say why yet.

Some mixdowns/vocal takes on this are raw and left like that on purpose. I didn't want to overproduce this one and take away the feeling of these tracks, so I left them as is. Special thanks to Kaylee for singing on the title track with me. Her feature has deeper meaning, but I'm not ready to say why yet. I still think our track can be better mixdown wise, but I'm letting it go.

I'm still working on the future of my music as I've said before, but I put it on hold temporarily so this album can come out first. When I'm properly back, you'll know.

Thank you for listening as always.
