"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" Spoken Word Poetry Album - Pre-Release Thread

[Amadeus 11,293]

okay no shade but i am never going to listen to this more than once or twice 

 

serving marry the night monologue rather than ride 

[Yosemite 23,566]

How can I listen ughhh

[Dominikx4 25,025]

 

 

I left my city for San Francisco

Took a freeride off a billionaire's jet

 

LA, I'm from nowhere, who am I to love you?

LA, I've got nothing to offer, who am I to love you when I'm feeling this way, and I've got nothing to offer?

LA, not quite the city that never sleeps

Not quite the city that wakes

But the city that dreams, for sure

 

If by dreams you mean nightmares

LA, im a dreamer but I'm from nowhere, who am I to dream?

LA, I'm upset, I have complaints, listen to me

They say I came from money and I didn't

And I didn't even have love, and it's unfair

 

LA, I sold my life's rights for a big check, and I'm upset

And now I can't sleep at night, and I don't know why

Plus, I love Zac, so why did I do that when I know it won't last?

 

LA, I picked San Francisco because the man who doesn't love me lives there

LA, I am so pathetic, but so are you, can I come home now?

Daughter to noone, table for one, party of thousands, of people I don't know, at Delilah where my ex-husband works

 

 

the first minute or so its 5 minutes long aaaaah this gonna take a long time for the full thing

[Rorman Nockwell 53,864]

Well, fuck me

 

I'm kinda speechless

[overlookglow 288]

Could everyone posting or quoting the poems use the spoiler tag? I'd rather wait until the full audiobook is available...

[Yosemite 23,566]

Someone send me a downloadable link

[Amadeus 11,293]

that 20 seconds instrumental outro was so nice, so haunting and cinematic, that's the production i want for cocc's ballads

Someone send me a downloadable link 

Me too plz

[Beautiful Loser 46,074]

Shit. I didn't expect the LA poem to be like that. Poor Lana sounds mad and frustrated. I like it though! Can't wait to hear her read it.

[Roll With me 5,640]

Did they post the whole audiobook on Spotify or just 'LA who am I to love you'?

[Blue Rev 3,014]

Why is only one track uploaded though? 

[Yosemite 23,566]

Ugh, I wanna hear it too

[overlookglow 288]

I'm guessing LA Who Am I to Love You is like the "single" of the audiobook, and the full album will be uploaded shortly?

 

I hope it's not like a teaser to try and push people to purchase the full audiobook on other platforms.

[Beautiful Loser 46,074]
