about

GFTI is a song for anyone who’s ever experienced the whip lash of a flash in the pan dating app romance. It’s a puppy love song, a love letter to New York, a labor of love, and I’d love if you’d give it a listen.

lyrics

When I first met you on the base of Underhill
Saw your cigarette dangling thought we're never dating again
But two years down the road you had just quit your Juul
And our hearts they went soft like a couple of fools
On the beach in the snow watching coyotes go
Through the dunes through the tunes of the naughty 1920s
I said yes please, let you get the best of me

Remember when we ran away to Margaretville
I said god I don't know why they hate Andrew Cuomo so much
Call it innocence
And at the herbal store where we bought loose leaf tea
You told me bout your folks and how they still keep bees back in Oakland where you're from I thought god he's awesome
We drove out on black ice I was down for the ride
Although we could have died
Ooohh

And kites are fun but so is Arthur Avenue
Turned down samples from nonnas too scared of the 'rona
You're rootless gaptooth-ish a traveling stone not a stoner you'll indulge only cuz I gotta
You got the best of me and you also got the rest of me
And on that brownstone stoop we watched it turn to spring
I cried into your coat and it mirrored the rain
You said that there'd always be links between our brains
And that we might have fixed it if it weren't for Spain
Ooooh

Saw you at Barboncino I was on a date
With my cute new French boyfriend had nothing to say
Except for small talk the whole walk to the party after
I couldn't stop thinking about if I mattered to you
I think I do

Sharon is Karen Brooklyn, New York

Sharon is Karen is a creative cuddle puddle. Making up games in the living room. The shirt at the thrift store I think you’d get a kick out of. Book borrowing. A stew made from everything in the fridge that’s actually not bad. Holding each other up at the roller rink. Everybody gets a birthday cake. If you care, then it’s worth Sharon because Karen keeps our boomboxes blarin.’ ... more
