There's no other way to say this. Episode Seven is a special dark episode of Jam Mechanics. If you want to blame someone, blame Sam Damask of Grand Commander for his prompt! But we still have fun, and you will, too!

Jam Mechanics is a podcast hosted by Matt (The Narcissist Cookbook) and Bug (Bug Hunter) where we are challenged to write a song demo from scratch every episode. If you'd like downloadable files for this episode (and the demos we showed off), ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠you can go to our Bandcamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to pay-what-you-want to support us!

BUG'S SONG

Title: Not Your Fault, Kid

Lyrics:

It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother

It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother


I had a family: mom, dad, dog and and backyard

my own room a guitar

I was stuck on "F" and I couldn't get past it

and now I think it's stuck in the attic

or at dad's place, or maybe the storage box

that he got when he got kicked out

and that just happened to be, just happened to be

when you came around


It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother

It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother


but mom won't love you, so I hope that yours does

you've got her eyes, what a shortcut

and our dad's smile that I've barely seen yet

at least its absent every other weekend

when I'm dropped off and lobbed in the corner spot

on a cot set up in your room

how'd this happen to me, this happened to me because

because of you


It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother

It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my...


but you're not a text on his phone left unguarded

you're not a hotel charged to the family card you're not

even them caught in the act, you were 9 months past

now you can't be ignored or talked out

you just happen to be, just happen to be

the proof that knocked us down


If I seem shut down and muted thats just what I've found is easiest

but I've changed so much can't tell what's me and what's now ship of theseus

If I seem shut down and muted thats just what I've found is easiest

but I've changed so much can't tell what's me and what's now ship of theseus


It's not your fault, kid, I still love you

you're my baby brother

MATT'S SONG

Title: The Family Dog

Lyrics:

okay

are you done

i've been over here biting my tongue

let me just catch my breath

really swill this blood around

let it get

into every gap in between my teeth

every cavity from the years of sweetness

you for

Mark as Played
