about

"Che" is a track I wrote and released to honor the being and spirit of the song's namesake.

This was the first ever single I officially released to major platforms, and its quality, in my eyes, is a testament to that. Aside from sloppy performances, it is a poorly-recorded and poorly-written tune at the end of the day.

However, it marked an important moment for me, in that it was the first time I truly hated something I made and published, and an early realization that I needed to make work that was at least up to the quality standards of the works surrounding it in the streaming world (crazy concept, that your work should be good).

The cover art further represents my intentions. Bolstering a punk spirit, I crinkled paper, drew a star, and scanned it with my home printer. I find this to be the release's greatest accomplishment.

It is not my worst song, nor is it a good one, but it is a landmark moment in my recording and releasing journey.

lyrics

There's no promises in the heart of a restless mind
Pack and pick a face you will make to change their minds

Battered face and hands, they tell you that you're all wrong
Don't you let them sigh, let them die, and sing your song

There's no promises in the heart of a restless mind
Pack and pick a face you will make to change their minds
Don't you let them sigh, let them die, sing your song

There's no promises
There's no promises
There's no promises
There's no promises
