I can't love the one I'm with That night in the city ruined it for me I still can't love the one I'm with That night in the city ruined it for me That gritty eye that tells you I'll do anything you want Is something that I shouldn't have to see I'l come for you I'll cry for you I'll fuck you down the street as long as you pretend it's you and me This goes out to everyone who feels like they're jealous this goes out to red, red red red red, someone who wore red tape I just can't love the one I'm with That night in the city ruined it for me .... ..I'll come I'll cry I'll run I'll hide I'll run around and die I'll lift an eye, I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time

Everyday 03:42
I don't need your weight in the shadow There's a million ways to get you off Every day I wake in the morning to a thousand bricks against the wall What I need my mind in the mortar what the water is what the water isn't now I believe I cut cut the water line I have a feeling there's a body that's not mine I like it when you call my name I wanna do it to you the same way Give me your fantasy give me a play I'm a dog you're a rabbit in a bale of hay Coward Coward walk walk coward was away there's a trembling hand slipping closer run faster run run faster to the stage I'm gonna blow my bones in a little day

about

"Wrong Energy" is a hate letter to desire on the internet. The song captures the frantic experience of being a voyeur online whether you like it or not. Mirroring the dissociative qualities of sample based club tracks, Jack’s voice cuts into a rigid anxious beat and describes a “night in the city” experienced through social media wherein a lover is accidentally seen with another. Transfixed by this vision, jack follows the song in a series of repetitions, replaying the moment over and over.

"Everyday" is an ode to pop music. Indulging in a lush wash of major chords and candy synth textures, Jack beholds a layer of beauty in the mundane routines of life. This song is about finding meaning in the intuitive ways we structure our days and the magnificence routine has when we’re in love.

Jack Whitescarver never actually studied music within an academic framework, instead graduating from Bard College having majored in studio arts. This background is inextricable from his persona as a performing artist. Vulnerability, theatricality, letting your “cool” go, all aspects that can be traced in his art, can equally be identified in his stage presence. One truly gets sense that his songs were meant to be performed. His campiness is authentic, raw, and genuinely enjoyable.

His interest in pop stemmed from this proclivity for the dramatic, for narratives laced with tension condensed into a short snippets with the intention of being more accessible to a larger audience. But Whitescarver contends that it is only when you play with this tension in different ways, supplementing the narrative with layers of dissonance, tomfoolery, and willingness to explore outside of the existing bounds, only then will you hit “the sweet spot”.
