you told me you were pregnant--what a fucking joke then said you'd keep the baby as you lit a smoke... i'm not your dad but your mother and i are flippin-fuming mad and i'm not even sure you care any more so fuck this fuck this (x11) fuck this fucking shit you're hopeless... ~ twenty years go by she's nineteen and a fucking gem i never acted like her father so i'm empty with: clean lungs and regrets, while my one-and-only daughter never even texts so i'm not even sure i've been right, evermore so fuck me fuck me i'm so fucking fucked to be so fucking lonely fuck me (x6) fuck... forever resting on my laurels can't even think of any morals... your mother died along with our quarrels so now i don't even think it'd've been wrong if you'd gazed in my eyes in the car after prom and said: "fuck me, fuck me. if you fuck me we may have a child so lovely that you'd be fucked to not just fuck me --fuck condoms, fuck the IUD; creating life WON'T be your misery"

Poosh 03:16
Fuck my young life… Fuck my young life… simple bitch is spending all my cash never smiles or makes a real sound simple diet, simple toilet too, and she still takes a shit all over my life and all over you you think she wants to play you better keep away her belly is a trap, you’ll never, never guess: Tell me what Poosh is— if she’s not just stupid— Tell me what Poosh is? Fuck my life. Fuck my young life… Fuck my young life… Fuck my young life… stretch & cross paws, watching from the side every now and then she’s kinda sweet actual eye contact and face rubbing but the bowl is empty, she just wants to eat you think she wants to play you’d better turn away she’s just out of reach—it’s intentional oh, you’ll never guess: tell me what Poosh is if she’s not just stupid Tell me what Poosh is? Fuck my life. Fuck my young life… Who do you think that you are? That’s a rug you fucking nut — I know you only have fun twice a day Scrambling crashing when you run until I will find—A dried load of shit Scattered on the floor You never talk as much as when you’re treated to a mani pedi Honestly you speak like a mutilated sheep But I’ll put up with it to save you from embarrassment when you’re stuck on the bed with a foot in the air Playing it cool like it was really important you start cleaning yourself when I walk in the room At least we didn’t have to pay an adoption fee Just our rugs and our clothes got soaked in pee

Babies' Life 03:18

the heat in this place sucks they bring it on in trucks for 200 bux a month but still i picked up the sheets and and the covered was freezing and i can't feel touch it's either cuz i like you too much or because the rush is clean and i'm not used to being seen with you i'm not used to being seen without my shoes on i wanna be ready to run to run away from you my only intentions are true and i don't think i really wanna die just so soon but being here with you is what i really wanna do but it's a chain link fence between us and the decadence and i'm not interested in things anymore i packed up my sheets and my jacket and keys and my lunchbox and freeze stamps and i never want to see you again any more

Only One Way 03:17
how many times have you found yourself amidst your heart and nothing that you feel feels like it’s even enough to start the beat? and when you strive to say what’s best you find you never even speak? my father said that you were no “good” for me but what he didn’t know is “good” has no such relevancy there’s not a way, that you can be part of some thing some day you’re already that part so stay awake and stay cuz i love the way… i really love the way you scream about the jobs the locals need everybody that we’d seen protected by the calamine and i thought you’re just something else it’s not for love it’s not for fame it’s not for money--there’s no game to win. not me, not even you, not self, not your heart nor for the sake of health you do it all just the best you can you do it all just the best that you can sister heartbreak, love-spent lover, tear me open wide “heart” can have a million meanings but you’ll soon decide you’ll soon decide you’ll soon decide

it’s been 57 days into this year and i just won’t go outside it’s been a year it feels since i’ve had warm skin and i’m dying to get that D in me oh, i just want your D inside of me just put it in, into my skin i can’t wait any longer i’m trem-buh-ling i just want to taste your face again but it would be so sweet if we could be just in our skin not outside
16.
my money’s been wasted my things are displaced and i’m thinking i know what to do: i’ll find you one evening at the opposite end of a tin can tied to a string and vibrate the reason i fell into feeling that swearing my love had its end my money’s been wasted my body’s displaced and i’m thinking i know what to do: in houston we’ll meet, or on St. Charles street on my porch with a Royal in tune and puff on the season i dreamt for a reason that one day i’d fall just for you my money is gone and my things are all gone and i’m thinking i know what i’ll do i’ll get on my bike and i’ll ride until night knowing song is the way that i’m true and hold you too tight for the moon to change night back to day when i need someone new my body is wasted, my money is tasteless i’m starving when i think of you a stowaway dress on a mountaintop figure who lied about her age i’m dying to see you i’m dying to engage
17.
chocolate grin, mouthing off, my kitty pissing on the new shag rug; it’s pretty bad— gonna throw it out… reading out loud from books, that’s crazy straight up cactus looks… ? my daydream? you’ll eat every rock and you’ll cough it up it’ll hit the glass it’ll snap me back to reality? find I’m cleaning the filter one or two or three if diamonds are your best friend then why don’t you just marry them if red-bottoms are your best friend then why don’t you confide in them if i’m — aw fuck it you don’t care it’s our wedding day no one’s here and that’s okay— our invitations were sent to outer space— i’m so glad i found you so jiggly puff is my best man and in the mirror i see an engagement band i’m dreaming right? oh i’m not sure it smells like piss on the sunroom floor what kind of drug did i consume? i’m laying on the floor in your bathlunar satellite bathlunar satellite

...first heard you with your inside voice decided that we’d play with your outside toys wheels on the road tonight guiding me to our bright light you’re the best thing i know
19.
some one some where (empty vessels struggling) is your only care: (to be more full) you are only good as good as you think you are for your own good time so you don’t really need to spend any time cuz you’re wasting time thinking in some days’ time that you won’t kiss her just to know it kills you just so oh-oh? some one you’ve never meant stopped your breathing now tell me why should that make sense? drinking at your boys house something’s in the air that saves you from hysteria you close your eyes you’re barely there relentlessly your breath will share: so stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop dreaming or you’ll wake up alone! stop pretending that your heart was made for you to share with her ~ oh i’m so sure ~ you’ll find your glow so i’m so sure you have your glow

about

official LP title:
tinyurl.com/jqz39us

This album is named after My Love, and written while she was the primary influence in my life. It is dedicated to her with all my love and all my heart, as always.
These songs only exist, because we exist.

All songs written and produced by (Samuel) © 2015 with the exception of tracks 1, 5, 8, 14 & 15 (see about) section for individual notes.

This is my eighth public (Samuel) release since 2004.

It includes songs written during FAWM (Feb) 2015 & 50/90 (Sept) 2015.

It has been released on the third anniversary of when I first told My Love that I loved her. Other songs written during this period are found on the "&EPs" : samuel.bandcamp.com/album/the-ampersand-eps-triple-ep

"[the emoji title]" was My Love's contact-name on my iPhone for over three years.

Album artwork is composed of [almost all] my deleted Instagram photos posted between autumn 2012 and early 2013
the full collection of archived photos is on my Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/americansamuel

Thank you for listening if you are listening. These songs mean a lot to me.

If you are reading this, I love you.
