Name: That's Okay
Duration: P00H02M28S
Description: That's Okay started out as another song entirely. And it was terrible. I abandoned it. It returned several months later with a new arrangement and a second verse. It's a little bit of punk-type rock that didn't feel right for The Shivers, so I spun it off into the EP instead.

That's Okay started out as another song entirely. And it was terrible. I abandoned it. It returned several months later with a new arrangement and a second verse. It's a little bit of punk-type rock that didn't feel right for The Shivers, so I spun it off into the EP instead.

lyrics

Katy, don't you listen
To those awful things they say
'Cause Benny's such a little bitch
He wants to make you pay

He wants to see you on your knees
He says "that girl, she's such a tease"
But you know Benny never liked you anyway
And that's okay

Katy, what's the matter
Don't you think you're worth the while?
'Cause you're the only girl
In this goddamn place that could
Ever make me smile

You know they only kick you
When they see you're getting down
But Benny's never been a good shot anyway
And that's okay

Let it out, let it in
Let's begin

Katy, don't you listen
To those awful things they say
'Cause Benny's such a little bitch
He wants to make you pay

You need to think about yourself
'Cause you are always thinkin'
About somebody else
But you know, Katy
They don't matter anyway
And that's okay

Ian Marquis Portland, Maine

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
