GTFO (demo)

Yesterday, I was on IG and I got this notification on a (somewhat) older video of me playing a snippet of one of my songs, which is lovingly called ‘GTFO’:

Upon reading this, a plethora of things happened in rapid succession—

One, I remembered I wrote the song in the first place. So, I screenshotted my response as a reminder to not forget it again.

Two, I immediately went to type out the lyrics and add it to the binder of songs that are going in the EP.

Three, I frantically scoured three devices (laptop, iPhone, iPad) for anything from the original idea. Voice note? Notes app? “Untitled 58” in my iCloud’s ‘Logic’ folder???

Four, I sifted through three journals to try to find any evidence, where finally I stumbled across the lyrics within the back pages of two journals ago, written in right to left format… for whatever reason.

After all of this, I found the original demo in my iPad’s BandLab wasteland.
