I'm not a lyrics guy and I can already tell you that you probably shouldn't hang around those obnoxiousness-disguised-as-quirkiness type normies.

I actually have a true/good performing ITAOTS story >in college >wandering around campus >walk by some sorority girls tabling for some event >see event is looking for performers >I play acoustic guitar, decide to sign up, put down Two Headed Boy on form (only playing part 2) >practice all week >sometimes my voice cracks on the high notes and sometimes it doesn’t, trying to hit them all >maybe I should have sung a song more in my range but it’s too late >nervous as fuck >finally go >oh crap >I didn’t realize it was an all-black sorority >I didn’t realize it was a formal event >I thought I’d just be playing for some sorority girls, but parents and alumni are there >I’m surrounding by black people in suits and evening gowns, and I’m a white guy in shorts and a target t-shirt >first performer does no joke a beat poem about black empowerment >I’m after her and I’m doing some indie song about a guy with daddy issues >can’t get away with singing something less embarrassing cause they announced I’d be playing Two Headed Boy >now I’m really nervous as fuck >they have water for performers I pretty much drink the whole bottle >”DADDY PLEASE HEAR THIS SONG THAT I SIIIIIING…” >older woman (I wanna say in her 50s) in the front row of seats is nodding to the music the whole time >I hit every high note >see people looking genuinely impressed when I’m able to sing some longer stuff, like holding the phrase “for the rest of your liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife” >”but don’t… haaaate her… when sheeee gets up… tooo leeeeavve” >people clapping and cheering >one of the organizers, the one who announces the acts, gives me a hug and says “that was AWESOME!” >days later walking around campus, a girl asks me “hey weren’t you the guy who played guitar at Cafe Delta? You were great!” Unfortunately cause I’m so socially awkward I didn’t leverage it into anything, but it was cool to perform, be cheered, and recognized later
bruh that's some fuzzy feelings tingling all the way to my arms shit

they say that the mind is fully aware that the heart has stopped and believes it died. Survivors generally feel out of body and pretty fucked. Quite common for people who undergo full bypass heart surgery.
Easton Stewart
Just play This Charming Man or something
Aaron Cooper

Isaiah Sanders
Good fucking god. Why the hell would you play ITAOS on a party? CRINGE
Benjamin Howard
Turnover is good. Knuckle Puck have some decent songs, but also a whole lot of shitty songs
Jason Gonzalez
This was meant for OP btw. Sorry to bother you, fine Sir
Wyatt Hall
Almost the same thing happened to me user
We used to host a little music festival in my friend's garden. It was just a silly little affair with maybe 40 people every year, but we were all pretty musical and had been in and out of bands, and we had a little circle of friends who used to stay at that place so it was just a party with some live music really.
I played maybe half of ITAOTS and did not have a good time up there.

Cameron Watson
It was. The place is gone now and it kills me.
Adam Brown
>grandma asks me what my favourite song is >put Eno's st. elmo's fire for her to hear >when the solo starts she tells me to turn off that racket and puts shostakovich on instead im bitter about it to this day
Thomas Young
>calling someone plebs bc they dislike ITAOTS you kinda deserved what happened there
Christian Wilson
Maybe it's because I'm not a paedophile, but I don't get why anyone would
Jack Evans
Stick to wonderwall
Jason Sanchez
I hate that band and I hate blacks, but god damn do I respect you!
Jackson Thomas
The feeling is not reciprocated.
Christian Moore
>Unfortunately cause I’m so socially awkward I didn’t leverage it into anything
Fucking faggot.
Disappointing end to a good story. I will never understand how people are so socially awkward to the point of not reaping rewards.
>Music exam in front of 10 music teachers >Have to play 2 classical pieces >Played first - not bad >Start playing second and forgot the notes in the middle >Started over again, but failed to play till the end >Got 3 out of 10 for exam >Never played an instrument until now
11 years have passed, switched to bass, play it from time to time...
It's OK if you don't get it. IN THE AIRPLANE OVER YOUR HEAD
Ryan Gonzalez
