about
kelz's debut on bayonet records
here's what kelly had to say of the track:
"This is probably the 'happiest' and one of the most fun songs I have written/produced so far. I remember creating this song back in October, super inspired by my first solo road trip north to San Francisco. I loved the feeling of the cool breeze out the window and seeing so much water constantly in front of me. I remember sitting at Mission Dolores Park, catching a sunny around this pink-purple hue. I felt really happy to be out there alone and just being somewhere new and out of my comfort zone. The whole trip made me remember that I have a lot of stories waiting to be written and experienced. I like to think of this song as a good example of my love for electronic music - filled with quirky, warm, wobbly synths and a 2000s-inspired riff that just makes me wanna dance xx"
lyrics
Maybe one day, I’ll be playing my songs
Everyone will be happy, just singing along
I’m just doing my best, feeling depressed
Maybe one day, I can give it a rest
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs
Maybe one day, I’ll be dancing around
Finally free, finally happy, feeling safe n sound
I’m just doing my best, feeling depressed
Maybe one day, I can give it a rest
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs
Help me take cover
Don’t be my lover
Maybe one day, I’ll be walking around
Everyone is thinking that they know me now
I’m just doing my best, playing pretend
Maybe one day, they can see what I meant
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs
Maybe one day, I’ll be laughing around
Finally free, finally happy, do you miss me now
I’m just doing my best, no second chance
Maybe one day, they’ll be sorry again
Maybe one day, they’ll be singing my songs

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Rickety, rollicking guitar-pop driven by Jilian Medford's disarmingly off-kilter delivery. Available on limited-edition colored vinyl. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2016
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
