about

i recorded this song while on the "let's get sad tour" in nashville. my nashville date got cancelled, i had an extra day, so i hung out at phoenix for a day and made this song.

this song is about how stupid parties are and how sometimes your friends date guys who are dicks. sorry for the language mom.

on everything i release i do this, but for real, joey burcham is the best human being on the planet. without him, none of this would be possible, working with him and seger in the studio was some of the most fun i've ever had making music. if you need mixing/mastering and you don't hit up phoenix you're doing it wrong. those dudes rule.

also just wanna shoutout aaron geldert for coming over to my place and tracking the trombone part in my laundry room. it sounds so fucking dope and he's a rad dude.

also thanks to the people who listened to this song when it was a little baby song and gave me notes and some of them i listened to and some of them i didn't: darryl rahn, ryan rekdal, miles lieder, matt berry, derek evry, dave hyland, and my parents.

the artwork is a picture of me at my first birthday and the other kids are my cousins anthony and justin, they're cool guys. anthony has a better haircut now. i don't.

finally, here's a personal shoutout to kadena for always listening to my shit even when it isn't very good and for still putting up with me after 2 years.

alright, that's probably enough.

oh yeah, thanks to adrian from the offbrands for letting me borrow a 57. i should've included that earlier. shit.

stay sad.

lyrics

thanks for inviting me to your birthday party
i know like 2 people here
but i still appreciate it
cause i guess we're friends
but if we really were
we should've just got a coffee
because you know how much i hate parties
also your new boyfriend's a dick

it's fine.

i'll just sit in the corner
and pretend to have a good time
you know me so well
happy birthday to us

thanks for wishing me a happy birthday
except you forgot
which is hard to imagine because it's on the same day as yours
but i guess you fucked up
guess i don't really matter much to you anymore
it's probably your new boyfriend's fault

it's fine.

i hope you know he cheated on his last girlfriend
which means he'll probably cheat on you
but you wouldn't let me tell you that
so happy birthday to us

i hope you're happy
i hope you know he sucks
i guess it doesn't matter

thanks for inviting me to your birthday party

happy birthday to us.
