I wanna do nothing Just leave me alone I wanna do nothing with you I wanna do nothing I wanna do nothing Just leave me alone with you Life is a giant pain in the ass It will always stay this way, I guess Unless you end it with the sound of a gun But I can't imagine that being as much fun as doing nothing and being left alone and doing nothing with you I wanna do nothing I wanna do nothing Just leave me alone with you You know that life's a mess until you drop But when you're next to me we make it stop

The day I learned to see the future was the day I ceased to care about all the plants and animals and human beings everywhere The day I learned to see the future was the worst day of my life I lost my sense of self-respect and my husband lost a wife The day I learned to see the future was the day I realized that nothing matters after all and life should be revised The day I learned to see the future filled my heart with bursts of fear I knew what would be happening I knew the end was near The day I learned to see the future was the last I'd ever see I found my way into the woods and hung myself from a tree

I’m going home tonight I have known it for so long Everything is gonna be alright Don’t cry when I’m gone ‘cause I’m going home I will be happy to arrive Nothing’s gonna be the same I never felt so alive No one has to take the blame ‘cause I’m going home I know where I’m going and I wanna be there too I have no regrets so why do you? I was longing for this place so long It’s about time Don’t worry, nothing’s going wrong I’ll send you a sign when I’m, when I'm home I’m going home

about

So... how is everybody doing? Weird times we live in, eh?

OK, that should cover the small talk. I'll cut to the core: Being at home pretty much 24/7 made me want to release some stuff, so I recorded "I Wanna Do Nothing (With You)", a song that feels appropriate(-ish) even though it was written 7½ years ago. It was supposed to be a fully fledged Jesus and Mary Chain style noise pop number, with distorted guitars and drums and shit, to be included on an album that has been forming in my head for years now, but instead it's just me and the ukulele again. Oh well, works too!

As a bonus I added two songs intended for an EP that was supposed to come out last year. We even started working on it but I scrapped the release because it didn't quite feel right. "The Day I Learned to See the Future" is taken from those sessions, recorded by Max Hoffmann of DORA FLOB fame. It's just a rough mix though so don't expect too much. Track 3 is the demo version of "Going Home", a song also intended for the scrapped EP, recorded on a 4 track recorder in Mainz about four years ago.
