FAWM: "I Was Nice To The Weird Kid"

I Was Nice To The Weird Kid

NSFW

Liner Notes

As we age, we realize why people act a certain way and we become more accepting of differences. Celebrating differences, even! I haven't always been the kid who was nice to the weird ones, but I got better. We're all the "weird kid" to someone, right? I'm hoping to add this to the Eddie Ate Dynamite setlist since we're in desperate need of new material.

Lyrics

I was nice to the weird kid Came from a broken home I was nice to the weird kid It’s not fun bein alone

CH: Time after time kids were takin the piss While nobody around gave a shit I was nice to the weird kid And I don’t regret it

I was nice to the weird kid Never thought he was a fool I was nice to the weird kid Cuz mom taught me the golden rule

Chorus Solo

You might the weird kid (it could be you) x3 Oh we are the weird kid

Yes! Great start this FAWM Tim. A song that plays with the listener's thoughts, making you wonder, who was I? The perpetrator or the victim; is it always clear who has which role at that age? Older and wiser, we can sing the chorus together!

Thanks!

I'm a sucker for a great intro, and that sustained lyrical growl is so much fun. Love the lo-fi pop-punk vibe. Great harmonies, and a great job keeping in catchy pop land while working into an unexpected progression. Super cool tune!

Thanks! And that first note was mostly accidental. I do a "pre-sing" before vocal takes sometimes just to find the note, and I kept it in. haha.
