about

This song started at a Walmart near my apartment in Wenzhou (yeah, they have Walmart here, but it smells like chicken feet). I recorded the drum samples on a test-me electric piano. Then, I recorded fake bass on my Jaguar with the OC-3, and acoustic guitar. Then, I recorded real drums at my friends music school. It was about a mindfucker trying to put the drums together... like, hours of my life: gone. The samples in the beginning are 1). me playing my new keyboard! :) and 2). My photography teacher at Lingnan University (Hong Kong) showing us some of his photos from his trip to Bangladesh. Little could he have expected that lecture to be part of a song 2 years later. haha

lyrics

You look so, you look so
you look so, you look so, so, so pretty.
Pretty in the shipyard,
pretty in the graveyard,
pretty when you get
the strap on your riffle.
You look so, you look so,
you look so, so pretty.
Pretty when you're homeless,
pretty in the shipyard,
pretty in the graveyard.
You're pretty when you get
the strap on your riffle
fixed in Bangladesh.
