about

I have been compared to looking like George Harrison many times in my life, to the point where I wondered whether my destiny was to play George Harrison in some kind of Beatles show.

This seemed like a terrible fate for me, despite how cool an opportunity that would be. I wanted to succeed as me and known for whatever I was doing.

As I took voluntary severance from a job I wasn't happy in in Jan 2023, I was faced with my decisions again. By the sea, I soul searched and wrote for months and months with no limitations.

This song is about me finding the hope despite the lack of control in life, that I may end up to some as just someone who looks like one of the Beatles and nothing more, but that's ok, there's a bigger movement going on that I'm a part of, and as long as I'm moving with it and growing, then 'I guess that's all it's about'

lyrics

LYRICS

Got a hint of the zen of a buddha
On the day I lost my job
Colours almost came to life
As my old mind
Dug the neural pathways up
Making room for a brand new nonsense

Caught a glimpse of myself in a window
And I swear it made me jump
Wondering 'Well who's that there?
A scruffy square
Or a cheap George Harrison?'
My guitar don't weep
But it screeches and sleeps in

And I'm watching the sun coming out
Wondering if God's knocking around
Somewhere
And I'm changing the rate of a cloud
Well I guess that's all it's about
All it's about
All it's about

Never thought I could be what I wanted
But surprise surprise I am
Just it doesn't look the same
From an iPhone case
In my crummy living room
So I've settled for 10% less doom

And I'm watching the sun coming out
Did you say God's hanging around
Somewhere?
And I'm changing the rate of a cloud
Like you said that's all it's about
All it's about
All it's about

Is it meant to feel like this?
Is it meant to feel like this?
Doesn't anyone know
Have I settled too soon?

Cause I'm watching the sun coming out
And I'm sure God's knocking around
Somewhere
And I'm changing the rate of cloud
Well like George said that's all it's about
All it's about
All it's about
