	1.	Song I Recorded in the Dark in One Take After My Electricity Went Out and My Laptop Was About to Die 01:09	lyrics
	Well I was in my room, doing some recording For a brand new song take I was singing When I heard a loud sound Electricity went out And I was scared I checked after I heard that noise It smelled like something was burning And it was coming from the closet in the hall It turns out that my water heater had totally stalled And the breakers flipped But there was nothing I could do Now I don't know how I'll sleep It's 95 degrees It's Florida summer and you know what that means Without the a/c, there's nothing you can do To live comfortably If you're like... this

about

I never even wrote this song. I recorded it in one take while making it up on the spot after my electricity went out. I was in the middle of recording a different upcoming track when I heard a loud boom and all the lights went out. Then I discovered my water heater had partially exploded and all power was gone, even after I flipped the outside breaker. I figured I might as well have some fun, so I saved what I'd been working on and recorded this in one take before my laptop battery died. Enjoy.
