4. liner notes - sober thoughts

~Junia-T and Only1KNG on that beat. Truss on those SICK harmonies. Danny DePoe on the trumpet of course! Mixed and mastered by Junia-T. ~

I mean…..this song is mad vulnerable lolol. But it's interesting how it came about. I couldn't recite the original verse I wrote for this. prefer not to actually lol. it was one of the rare verses I wrote in the moment that I didn't actually go with on this album. I just didn't want this beat to fall to anyone else, gotta stay hungry. so i wrote something in the studio, recorded it and took it home to finish. It reminded me of fun elevator music, and i thought it would be funny if i did something kinda opposite. i was originally going to write about miscarriages on this but i didn't want to go that dark, so instead i wrote about the consequences of those troubles that i'm still dealing with today…smoking too much weed lol. full discretion, my manager hates this song, in a loving joking way, cuz on the surface i'm “bashing weed” but if you're reading this then you know it's about a lot more than that, and also i literally say im just tryna get down to one spliff a day as opposed to my current state of smoking all day every day. like any drug, moderation is important. after i recorded this track i was so iffy about putting it on the album, because i wasn't sure if it's relatable but more importantly, can i perform it??  So I started throwing it into random set lists where I felt it appropriate to pull it out. and it got great reception so i was shocked of course. and i had to ask junez again right before we put the album together like hey, does this belong on here, and he's like ya man. its mad relatable. turns out there were a few tracks on the album i had to ask him if it's even relatable. writing this now, i bet those will end up being the ones that ppl come up to me about hehe. ah so it go

 

The song is about me running away from my sober thoughts. i smoke as soon as i wake. and even though i go to sleep with tears some nights, i smoke till i sleep. when i'm high i can focus on what needs to get done except take care of myself, hence the lack of walking and laundry lolol. Ice Tha One is not on the track but she was in the studio in Jan 2024 when we were mixing the album, she's basically mixing assistant! she suggested Truss throw some harmonies under me, what i had was just a placeholder and i was ecstatic that he was there to lay it down because I love his voice so much. He's mad talented. I mean duh he's one half of TRP.P. And don't get me wrong, we all smoking before, during (breaks, not inside), and after the song was recorded. i always say in performances now, hey, this isn't a victory song, i'm still very much going through this right now and i WILL go smoke a spliff as soon as i step off this stage lolol. I've been gifted cannabis after performing this song, which i LOVE and also love the irony in the gift in resonance with the song. 

Danny DePoe came through the studio randomly to say hi to Junez, we got introduced and he was excited about these new mutes he just picked up and he was on his way home to test them out, Junez was like, well we're working on this album if you'd love to test it out in the booth on a couple tracks and boom, in one take he did this beautiful freestyle horn throughout. 
 

Track 4 is It's All Love because I have a very love hate relationship with cannabis. this song was not a victory to something I've overcome, I'm still going through it, the path is with and through love.
