Woke up l8, sorry m8, I tried I really tried But the light of the sun, when it hit me it hit me so hard Another day in the neighbourhood Drives and groves and close and gardens Sunny day in the neighbourhood And far away tens of thousands are dying There are rats in the streets Piled higher and higher and higher Look away, tut twice Mention it to your neighbour in passing Another day in the neighbourhood Drives and groves and close and gardens Sunny day in the neighbourhood And far away tens of thousands are dying Christ alive, on a bike Giving you the middle finger What did you do? Or didn't do? Not a clue but this can't be good Pandemic of apathy It's in your eyes You bleed it you piss it It gathers in your navel Another day in the neighbourhood Drives and groves and close and gardens Sunny day in the neighbourhood And far away tens of thousands are dying

Switch it off and switch it on again Close the tabs that are using too much energy Delete the files that you don't need They're just taking up your memory

about

Recorded in a day on 28th December 2023. I am planning to do this once a month through 2024, ideally a full album each time.
I am currently reading The Plague by Albert Camus, and also considering a career as a composer for musical theatre. These facts are unrelated.

about

Benji Tranter London, UK

I released my debut album Songs to Make You Happy in January 2023. With a lo-fi, DIY ethos, unembellished guitars and vocals deliver a charming, sometimes chaotic, collection of vignettes; diary entries, polaroid snapshots, throwaway poems and short stories.

I am writing an album/EP-in-a-day, every month throughout 2024. Just for fun, and to keep my writing up to scratch! Xxx
