“WORLD’S SMALLEST VIOLIN” FROM OK ORCHESTRA OUT NOW: AJR.lnk.to/okorchestraID

Lyrics:

My grandpa fought in World War Two
He was such a noble dude
I can’t even finish school
Missed my mom and left too soon
His dad was a fireman
Who fought fires so violent
I think I bored my therapist
While playing him my violin
Oh my god that‘s so insane
Oh my god that’s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don’t feel so grand
But I can’t help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like 2 things can be sad
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you
My grandpa fought in World War Two
He was such a noble dude
Man I feel like such a fool
I got so much left to prove
All my friends have vaping friends
They’re so good at making friends
I’m so scared of caving in
Is that entertaining yet?
Oh my god that‘s so insane
Oh my god that’s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don’t feel so grand
But I can’t help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like 2 things can be sad
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony

Just let me play my violin for you
Somewhere in the universe
Somewhere someone’s got it worse
Wish that made it easier
Wish I didn’t feel the hurt
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
All up and down a city street
While tryna put my mind at ease
Like finishing this melody
This feels like a necessity
So this could be the death of me
Or maybe just a better me
Now come in with the timpanis
And take a shot of Hennessy
I know I’m not there mentally
But you could be the remedy
So let me play my violin for you

    2:03からのバイオリンの音が、ハミングと混ざっていくのがすごく好き。 「Would’s smallest violin=愚痴をこぼす自分自身」を的確に表してる感じがして好き

    Never undermine your struggles. Struggles are called struggles for a reason. Just because others have done more or have had more done to them doesn't make yours hurt any less. It's good to acknowledge your pain and don't brush it off because it doesn't feel "like a big enough deal". If you're in the ER with a broken arm, it hurts right? What if someone next to you has both their arms broken, does that make your arm hurt any less? Acknowledge that you both are in pain, sympathize, and heal. Pain is pain. Edit: Thanks for all the likes and comments!! I've never received this much interaction on something before, but I'm glad it's on something that I feel is important
  • Landlord: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROOM AJR: I was just playing my violin and this happened

    Just saw AJR in concert last night in Hartford. Amazing show! I don't want to spoil anything for those seeing them later. Go see them if you can.
