Father (Home Demo)

about

This is not directed to my father. If Shinji could write a song to his father, this would be it.

lyrics

Father, tell me that I matter
tell me that I'm needed
that my efforts aren't wasted
Father, I need some approval
I crave your validation
it's a desperate plea
to get your attention

we were never friends
and you only viewed me
as a means to an end
I start to well up
thinking of the tender touch
that will never happen
Father

Father, tell me that you want me
tell me that you'll hold me
that you'll be there to protect me
Father, daylight is dimming
this distance is killing
I'm so afraid I'll grow up
and be like you

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
