Hey guys welcome to the making of "Sorry to Future Me"
00:10.1
00:14.1
My debut EP
00:14.2
00:19.4
When I first started coming up with the idea of an EP, I knew I wanted to tell a story
00:19.5
00:25.7
Almost all of the songs on the EP are just songs I never even planned on showing anyone until now
00:25.8
00:30.3
To be honest as a songwriter, writing songs in your bedroom at 3 am
00:30.4
00:37.2
is something that's very vulnerable and something very special to me because its songs that I don't necessarily plan on releasing
00:37.3
00:43.1
I remember I would invite friends over and I would play it for them or over facetime since we were in quarantine
00:43.2
00:46.3
... I remember all of my friends being like "you have to release them, you have to do it"
00:46.4
00:51.0
So basically that was kinda how it came to be
00:53.6
00:56.6
Part One: "haven't really met him yet"
00:56.7
01:01.5
Originally this song was completely different, i wrote this song back in 2020
01:01.6
01:06.1
in my room with my guitar. This one was rewritten so many times.
01:06.2
01:10.8
When I tell you, I literally finished this song a week ago I mean it.
01:10.9
01:15.1
The reason why this one took the longest was because
01:15.2
01:21.1
I just wanted to get it right, it was the first song of the EP and its the one that sets the tone of the rest...
01:21.2
01:24.2
...and introduces the characters and the story between these two people .
01:24.3
01:25.6
The opening line of the song says:
01:25.7
01:35.6
"It all began on one night, when I had stayed out late, a fish in a sea of wrong guys"
01:35.7
01:40.5
"While drinking away, and yelling that we've only got one life"
01:41.0
01:43.5
"What the hell was I doing?"
01:43.6
01:49.8
So basically the song is about being in a party, feeling out of place, feeling socially akward...
01:49.9
01:54.4
... while looking at your phone, trying to ignoring what's going on around you..
01:54.5
01:56.7
...and then meeting a guy...
01:56.8
01:59.0
... but instead of meeting him at the party..
01:59.1
02:01.3
... you meet a guy online
02:01.4
02:06.2
This song is about not necessary falling for someone in the normal way
02:06.3
02:14.2
I thinks its cool to see that play out in the video. We shot it a few days ago (August 2021)...
02:14.3
02:20.3
We cast a bunch of amazing actors who were willing to help us out and we created a big party scene.
03:26.9
03:33.2
We also wanted to show, this guy who is always chasing you, but deep down...
03:33.3
03:40.4
... for some reason I am the kind of person who likes to chase the impossible and go after what I can't have..
03:40.5
03:44.0
... and in this case it's the guy on the screen except the guy standing in front of me...
03:44.1
03:48.0
...and I think its cool to show it in the video as well.
04:03.5
04:12.6
There was this really very fun scene that we got to do which is with all the girls wearing pajamas and having sleepover
04:12.7
04:18.1
one of my insipirations for that scene was "West Side Story"
04:18.2
04:21.6
I did that show and one of my favorite songs was "I feel pretty"
04:21.7
04:25.6
Because Maria is feeling on top of the world, falling in love...
04:25.7
04:30.8
...and its what I want to recreate, that feeling of "Oh my God, guys, I am in love"
04:30.9
04:39.3
And telling to your friends about this complicated situation and trying to make them understand the way that you are feeling...
04:40.0
04:46.7
... in this fun little dance. It was actually blocked and choreographed by my mom.
05:52.7
05:53.6
- He's not real
05:53.7
05:56.2
- No, no, he is, like, like, I know him
05:56.8
05:59.9
- Oh, so you've physically seen him in person?
06:01.6
06:05.7
- Well no... but I mean, I've talked to him before, it's not like...
06:05.8
06:07.7
- And he's talked back to you?
07:55.6
07:58.8
And that was basically "haven't really met him yet"
07:58.9
08:05.2
It was a really fun video and it when I meet Mason in Brookyn
08:55.2
08:57.0
"So in conclusion"
08:57.1
08:58.7
"I think I've fallen"
08:58.8
09:01.9
"For someone who doesn't even know it"
09:02.0
09:06.2
"Call me crazy, I admit"
09:06.3
09:11.0
"I haven't really met him yet"
09:17.0
09:23.1
Yeah, awesome, thank you so much... oops, you're fine, it... it survived...
09:25.8
09:28.0
...it didn't survive, it's acutally broken now, but...
