about

By the time I wrote this song, I had quit my job at the newspaper and gotten a job at a Toys R Us selling video games. It was during my time there I began getting frustrated with music, feeling like it wasn't worth continuing to pursue. I felt like I was drifting away from it and settling for a mediocre job, a mediocre existence. All of this and trying to finalize plans for an EP with the original producer which fell through. I was quite despondent until my former manager suggested I contact Frank Lenz. The lines concerning needing love were partially directed towards a specific girl but also had religious overtones. Lastly, that slide guitar solo is one of my all-time favourite parts and I nailed it in one take.

lyrics

The world around me, I have nothing to say
and though I’m drowning I’ve got nothing say, nothing to say
I need your love more than ever
I need you here, now or never

I had a future now I’ve nothing to say
Friends and companions they have nothing to say, won’t even stay
I need your love more than ever
I need you here, now or never

I’ve wasted all my energy
Spent it all on empty dreams
I’ve settled for the mediocrity

about

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.
