Catchy English pop, rock and rap influenced by loads of varied genres and styles.
Hi there! What I'm basically trying to achieve here is good upbeat music that's a little different from the normal big name chart toppers. I hope what I do becomes big because I think so much music nowdays in the west sounds really similar and there seems to be so little creativety going on. Plus it would be nice to hear more upbeat happy music out there!

Story behind the song
I initially wrote this song right after a hospital procedure that had required a large amount of sedation. I think music seemed like the good cure for my state of helplessness and the medical condition of OCD was one that seemed a worthy subject to comment on. I have personnally had it myself before working hard to cure it and have known other people who have suffered it much worse. The guitar riff is an adaptation of the end of the banjo riff in Lazlo Bane's "I'm No Superman". This was the first song I learnt on banjo and one I picked up from my love of Scrubs. I feel the adaptation is way beyond any copyright claim, but it's noticeable if you listen hard!
Lyrics
She's driving me nuts she's rushing around she's cleaning like mad she's feeling down the light switch goes on the light switch goes off she'll do it 16 more times before she stops She looks right at me and says I've got no patience / not waiting everything's irritating can't you see / with me that's how it's got to be I'm not the good guy / the bad guy I sometimes wonder why you're hanging around here... She picks up the glass / she puts it back down she chews on her nails until they're perfectly round she wants to go out / but they've re-paved the road and the stones are too small so she'll have to walk on tip-toes She looks right at me and says I've got no patience / not waiting everything's irritating can't you see / with me that's how it's got to be I'm not the good guy / the bad guy I sometimes wonder why you're hanging around here... Everything / has to change / but she / stays the same I don't know / why I love it She looks right at me and says I've got no patience / not waiting everything's irritating can't you see / with me that's how it's got to be I'm not the good guy / the bad guy I sometimes wonder why you're hanging around here... I've got no patience / not waiting everything's irritating can't you see / with me that's how it's got to be I'm not the good guy / the bad guy I sometimes wonder why you're hanging around here...
