Fading away Listening to the Beatles Off a __, SJ’s making pasta in the kitchen now And I look, please don’t burn the building down ‘Cause there’s a dog, he’s looking at us And I don’t trust him even if I know how That night Kyle lost his mind And I still haven’t called Will since he lost his dad I wouldn’t know what to say And I’m on the couch And I see each and every photon particle Reflecting off these dreams Like the graffiti on the L as I go six or seven stops into Bushwick Playing my heart out Playing my soul out Trying to prove that I belong here without the gentrification connotations But I can’t escape them I’ve given it all to this I’ve given my all for this And they still want more from me Like how I gave it all to you But I only lasted a year and a half without you ‘Cause I’m pathetic I’m a wreck lying on the couch in Averill, splitting headache And I’m alone again [indiscernible] but then you left me And I was in micro and I couldn’t focus I can never focus, that’s why I failed damn near every class I’m in I’m not cut out for this world, I’m not cut out for this life And fuck my GAs, how could you treat someone like that? When you were in that position 3 months ago.. Is that what I’ve become? Is that what I’ve become? Dancing around in Emo Night in Brooklyn “I’m not okay, I swear I’m not okay” Advanced capitalism takes its hold Its fascism, but no one seems to care As an immigrant kid in Texas is forbidden to wash her hair And I know you washed me out And I know you’re on the couch somewhere In the midwest, with a guy his name’s Ryan You’re watching ABC and you’ll go to sleep at a reasonable hour, without me And I’m happy, but that’s the worst part That you’re out there, somewhere, not thinking of me Not thinking of me..

about

LNR_[04] is the fourth installment in my "Late Night Ramen" beat tape series. Damn, that's crazy. Thank you to everyone who has ever listened to my music. The title is a nod to bsd.u's 'Late Night Bumps' series. The fourth installment consists of loosies that didn't make it to my next album 'DESTINY'. I also like to use the series as a platform to showcase more experimental works that may not quite fit on a traditional album.

With that in mind, I'm able to approach all of my music from a freeform and experimental state of mind, comfortably knowing that each song that I truly rock with will have a place in my discography. I urge all artists to find an outlet like this in their discography/work, as that ability to experiment is freeing and has led to some of my favorite songs - many of which on this album push far past my love for minimalism into ambient and other sketch-like ideas.

Songs like "11:37", a song about the death of my 17-year-old dog Max this past winter, reflect this ideology. It is freeform, recorded in one take with all of the mistakes that came with laying my hands on a keyboard and attempting to come up with something coherent while filled with complete anguish. I failed miserably at making something coherent but to me that's why it was perfect - it was everything it needed to be. My music is heavily influenced by Zen and it was a perfect representation of being present, just wish I was a better pianist haha.

The album cover is an old photo of me I found that had four copies together on a piece of paper and I knew that it would be perfect for this fourth installment. So this isn't an official album or anything but I like sharing my thoughts and demos with people as you can better hear my progression as an artist.

I hope people find it interesting and in general, something you can vibe to. I usually don't draw up a .txt file with the sample information/notes for this series as there will be a lot of overlap a plan between this and ‘DESTINY.’ So I plan to speak more about my influences and thought process in the future but if you hit me up I'd be more than happy to share the samples I used because it's all for u.

Love — Bee
