It’s #marioday (mar10). In honor, all of us should be playing #Mario games. Your friends, colleagues, mom, mailman, boss, dog, all of them.

This song is a train wreck, mainly because of the horrible production quality, though I do dig the intro. The long intro was the last segment added to the song, and it was meant to make up for the mediocrity that followed. It did not accomplish that goal, at least in my opinion.

The lyrics are generic teenage love phrases inspired by the pop-punk genre (@blink182, @yellowcard, @goodcharlotteband), whose lyrics often revolved around high school relationships.

The songwriting (chords, melodies, structure) is inspired by Metro Station (IG @metrostationmusic, twitter @metrostation).

The arbitrarily selected name Kitty was used for this song because I thought it would be weird / memorable. In hindsight, it’s kind of lame.

My brother and cousin sing in songs 5 - 7. We dabbled in the idea of forming a musical group called Fresh Like Whoa for a few months. The group had MySpace and Facebook pages, uploaded videos to YouTube, the whole shabang, but we ultimately broke up after a couple months. Similarly to today, I wanted 100% creative freedom, thus it was difficult for me to collaborate with a group (excerpt from post 5).

A messy high school breakup was being dealt with during the making of songs 5 - 8, something that many of you can relate to. Isn’t it fun? I’d estimate it took five years after the breakup for those emotions / tensions to reduce from boiling to room temperature (excerpt from post 5).

It’s Monday. Women have to deal with an ocean of men who want to have sex with them at any given moment. That’s gotta be super weird.

Excerpt from post 5, which applies to this song: These early songs are plagued with bad production quality. That said, you can tell they have potential, if only they were produced well. The songwriting has some promise.
