Advert 03:06
lyrics
You can see, you can hear, but can you really feel? Singles stream, take their leave, but were they really here? Sure, you connoisseur, you're a modern Medici If you kneel, take a deal, you'll reach peak appeal There's no fees guaranteed - let's make it a career So, selling phones is considered accomplishment Nobody knows what it is you ever meant Nobody seems to take issue with your choice Nobody hears the words issued by your voice Even when your sponsorship is gone Whenever your advert song comes on Can you sell yourself aversion from the truth: The soul imbued has left your song I won't cede, cave to greed, or monetize some scene You can feed while I bleed but I won't be demeaned While writing songs has never been too sure And times are harder than they've ever been before I still believe in making something pure

Sticky Heart 03:19
lyrics
Liberated from the rusted chains around my heart You released me, released me Separated from the rest but we will never part Eternally, eternally Head in the clouds Ear to the ground Glad your sticky heart has stuck around Sold some memories to score a van and then we rolled Followed our wills, every will Lived a dozen lives and ever since I have extolled Our wander thrills, wander thrills Head in the clouds Ear to the ground Glad your sticky heart has stuck around Almost called it, straight dissolved it but you took my hand And ditched our strife, ditched our strife So we held it and it welled up greater than we ever planned Made our life, made our life Head in the clouds Ear to the ground Glad your sticky heart has stuck around

about

The second single from Sam Slick! Have you wondered how a musician feels about creating a heartfelt song and selling it to an advertising campaign for something less than meaningful? Me too. So I wrote Advert about just that. I also wrote Sticky Heart about something a little more meaningful - ditching the straight life to live in a van and travel America.
