Topheavy from FAWM 2024 by Johnny Wallflower
So I played a demo of this for Aubrey, and she thought it slapped. Written in 5/4, with mostly 4/4 loops, she kinda heard it as three bars of four and a bar of three.
She re-recorded the bass (cuz plucked muted electric bass makes everything better), threw some Linndrum at it, hacked up the arrangement, and here we are.

Lyrics
You were top heavy
I wasn’t ready
it got so messy
knees so unsteady
frequently stress-y
mondo depress-y
Thought you were jokin
that ish I was smokin
though I was so broken
I caught your eye
spotted me lookin
the beats were still cookin
summer in brooklyn
back to long beach
smoked all my weed and
followed you speeding
summer is fleeting
and so is love
You were top heavy
I wasn’t ready
it got so messy
knees so unsteady
frequently stress-y
mondo depress-y
coffee in red hook
come-hither bed look
leaving me so shook
broccoli rabe
but in the long run
you weren’t a loved one
ran off to kingston
and licked my wounds
You were top heavy
I wasn’t ready
it got so messy
knees so unsteady
frequently stress-y
mondo depress-y
now just a memory
now just a memory
now just a memory
