demo 113: it makes no sense
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 09:08:48 +0000 UTChello SDC darlings! happy last day of the month (eeeeeek - as IF tomorrow is september ? nope)
your august demo is a song penned w 2 talented friends Martin & Noah. it's about pursuing a career in music and how frankly MAD that is sometimes. I was thinking of the phrase "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" and it really reminded me of this pursuit, one that many more fail than succeed at.. but yet WE DO IT AGAIN ????
as always your feedback is welcome below :) example prompts could be - do you relate to this feeling? does the song remind you of anything? any favourite moments of the demo?
if you're new around here - welcome, and thank you! you can stream all demos within the patreon website or mobile app (where you can save em offline) and/or download the attached mp3
and to my gold tier babies - I know your july live stream was late - the same will be true of this month but I'll make sure it's before sept 10th so we can bring it back to earlier in the month again : )
I think that's it. big day for OG today, I play the mighty ELECTRIC PICNIC festival in Stradbally, Co Laois.. my biggest Irish festival slot to date & my last live show for the foreseeable! big last day of school vibes
thanks for everything, SDC. :) love u endlessly,
OG x

lyrics:
when i close my eyes i see you
standing in an empty venue
watching all the curtains closing
waiting for the doors to open
i really gave you all my twenties
look at what i’m left with baby
no money and a burning fire
waiting here to expire
take a big punch
give me a faceful
hand me those scraps
i should be grateful
but i’m running out of battery
watching my life from the outside
drifting out
losing friends
it’s like a kick
to the head
and yeah i know
it makes no sense
but i’d do it again !
smoking by the fire exit
am i making all the right investments?
everybody thinks i’m crazy
it’s possible i could be crazy
maybe
everything could work out next week
i think it’s gonna be the best week of our lives
and all of this will seem romantic
in reverse
when i’m dead
all this shit
spun to thread
and yeah i know
it makes no sense
but i’d do it again !
everybody thinks i’m crazy
maybe that’s the thing that makes me crazy
everybody thinks i’m crazy
maybe that’s the thing that makes me crazy

Oh and I’m very happy you’d do it again because I put your music on every morning immediately after I wake up, to start the day dancing

I have this on repeat now. It makes me dance around the house and I cannot help joining in on the ‘everybody thinks I’m crazy maybe that’s the thing that makes me crazy’ bit. Such great vibes!!!
