about

Back in 2014, when I was touring to support Dingaderry (ah, who am I kidding, it was a show to spite Afton booking), I played to a crowd of about ten people, one of whom was a fifteen-year-old girl who got really into my set and screamed and danced and sang along. Her presence made the whole show worthwhile. So back in November when I saw Bumblefoot, one of my biggest idols and inspirations, and there was a crowd of about ten people, I became that fifteen-year-old girl. He seemed to appreciate it.

lyrics

June
Of a couple years ago
I got on stage for you
It was my very first rock show

I saw you standing
On the empty floor
But you're a crowded individual
You kept screaming for me

And so I played
You danced and sung
I'll always remember you
My mosh pit of one

It's true
Just a couple months ago
I saw a hero of mine
At the Whisky-A-Go-Go

He saw me standing
On the empty floor
I was a crowded individual
I kept screaming for me

And so he played
I danced and sung
He held his mic out to my face
And laughed like, "Where was everyone?"

I knew the feeling
I'd already done
This kind of concert
With a mosh pit of one

And so he played
I danced and sung
And I became to him
A mosh pit of one

And so he played
I danced and sung
And I became to him
A mosh pit of one

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
