Too Weird To Love – New single and music video!
My new album was going to be called “Life On Your Own Terms’ until my partner, Anna, mentioned to me in passing, when I was in a particularly lively mood, that I was actually too weird to love! That’s a killer title I thought, and so set about writing the song that became the album title.
It didn’t take long as I tapped again into my thoughts on the complexities of modern living and how it affects our mental health and the way we deal with everyday life.
From the deluge of armchair experts online to the endless, largely self imposed ‘to do’ lists that govern our lives of seeking to achieve ‘success’, which so often leads to sense of failure or inadequacy.
Individuals in their own isolated spaces, trying to appear normal, but feeling like they have way too much weird shit going on to ever be like other ‘sorted’ people.
My hope is that we can free ourselves from our own negative psychological time and get on safe in the knowledge that what we are is always enough.
lyrics
From those who haven’t earned their stripes
Too many people and their gripes
Too many people seeking ‘likes’Too many people holding sway
Too many people in the way
With far too many words to say
And no-ones listening anywayAh and I’m too weird to love
Yes I’m too weird to loveToo much hatred and discord
Too few people getting bored
Too many things we have ignored
And far too many psycho fraudsToo many people especially me
Think they’re the only ones who see reach peak apoplecity
Till all we do is disagreeAh and I’m too weird to love
Yes I’m too weird to loveWeird to love
Weird to love
Weird to love
Yes I’m too weird to loveToo much focus on the past
Too much regret too much repast
Too much consumed and much too fast
And not enough that’s built to lastToo many tribes too many teams
Too many plans too many schemes
Too much bursting at the seams
Not enough time to build your dreamsAh and I’m too weird to love
Yes I’m too weird to love
Weird to love
Weird to love
Weird to love
Yes I’m too weird to love
Too much fear
Too to much regret
Too much we simply should forget
And there’s too much physiological time
And there’s just too much information
Ah just too much information
