about

“Misery” at its core is about the struggle between doing what feels right for yourself and doing right by others. Like many YellowTieGuy songs it seeks to encourage empathy by exploring multiple points of view using a traditional pop-style song structure, rock & roll rhythms and melodies, with thought provoking lyrics.. “I want anything except what’s right for me if what I want should cause you misery,” would be a heartfelt sentiment that under any circumstance would change the world in a positive way if more individuals would put it into practice. In today’s COVID-19 environment, it might be compared to how wearing a mask in public is not merely about protecting ourselves, but being thoughtful towards the health and safety of others who might be more at risk of complications from exposure.

The band would have the pleasure of recording “Misery” in the home studio of YellowTieGuy keyboardist Kyle Crosby, who happens to be the former Sound of Music’s (Richmond, VA) primary Studio B engineer. The track is mixed by Kenny Kingsborough who owns Harbour Red Studios in Baltimore, Maryland; and mastered by YTG’s own Daniel Warren Hill, who also has a background in audio production

lyrics

I think therefore I think I am the best
My experience says I’ve been put to the test

Cuz I want anything
Except what’s right for me
If what I want should cause you misery
I want to believe
In spite of everything
What’s right for you is right for me

The first one to be last will be the last one to be first
If change is growth than I’m an expanding universe

Cuz I want anything
Except what’s right for me
If what I want should cause you misery
I want to believe
In spite of everything
What’s right for you is right for me

Now there’s just no use denying
This truth that we’ve been hiding
All of my mistakes are easily avoided
If I am to see what others see
The only one in my way is me

Cuz I want anything except what’s right for me
If what I want should cause you misery

I want to believe
In spite of facts contrary
What’s right for you is right for me

I want to believe
In spite of facts contrary
What’s right for you is right for me

What’s right for you is right for me
What’s right for you is right for me
What’s right for you is right for me
