About this album

I can't believe I spent 3 years recording this album (very inconsistently!).

It's been the strangest time - this was originally going to be an album about daydreaming and feeling alone while stuck in my house during lockdown, but as time progressed I learnt more about myself and started to actually understand these feelings. While themes of daydreaming are still ever present throughout, I eventually realised quite late into the process that I'm actually just singing about autism, ADHD, and gender dysphoria. That's right, I've got the full wombo combo, and maybe I'll speak about it more one day in the future.

Tracks 8, 9, and 10 are more lighthearted fun, and have much less to do with the overarching theme, but they're songs I'm still really proud of and would love for you to hear. Fun fact, back in 2018 on a livestream I once said I'd eventually make a proper song about cats, and here we finally are!


All lyrics, instruments, vocals, production by TomboFry (now moonfloof).

I had some help and inspiration with the lyrics on tracks 8-11, from someone who goes by Papaya. He didn't want any credit but he's a wonderful person and I couldn't just not!

Lyrics

I've been stuck in this room
For more than a year
Calling on zoom
Got pain in my ear

I'm getting chubby
It's giving me fear
This lasts for a lifetime
But the end's drawing near

My eyes are wide open
But I can't see clear

The need to escape now
For fear of a meltdown
We're falling apart

Your eyes are my mission
A sweet disposition
It's breaking my heart

I'll dance with you
We just need a breakthrough

There's wind in my hair
And warmth on my skin
The front door is closing
It won't let me in.

As far as the eye can see
Rain falls from the sky
Fulfilling our destiny
But never knowing why
