I'm occasionally asked if my songs are works of fiction or based on something that's actually happened to me IRL. Many songs are based on things that I've experienced or that have been recounted to me by friends & acquaintances. Sometimes the subject matter is an amalgamation of several people.

I'm occasionally asked if my songs are works of fiction or based on something that's actually happened to me IRL. Many songs are based on things that I've experienced or that have been recounted to me by friends & acquaintances. Sometimes the subject matter is an amalgamation of several people.

Every now and then, however, I’ll write about one specific person; like the one in this song. It’s about someone who is the very best at being a pretty terrible person: selfish, dishonest and sometimes cruel. The song is appropriately titled GOAT, haha.

Still, being that I was raised a Buddhist, I wonder if I'm subconsciously writing about negative qualities inherent in me. Buddhism teaches that people in one’s life are a reflection of oneself so it could be my own sense of embarrassment about my own negativity seeping through the lyrics. Still chewing on that, I guess - Yeesh! Regardless, it inspired this nifty little song.

Look out for the rest of our EP, 'Santa Monica & Other Golden Classics' coming your way on May 19, 2023!
