about

Sean Young, my main collaborator in The Eggshell Stompers, died last year and I did this cover in tribute

Without Sean, I would not have received the same support and encouragement to pursue songwriting as fervently as I have

I feel very fortunate to have written songs, had band practice, played shows, and made records with this human while he was here

He wrote the tune "Too Many People in the World" for the Eggshell Stompers, and we rehearsed and played it live, but it was never recorded before his death

Jay was kind enough to come play some drums on it, and I played the other stuff

I hope y'all can hear some of Sean's defiant heart shining through in this pissed of song that relates feelings of anxiety we experience every day

If this song makes any money, I'm gonna send it to his family

See you on the other side, Sean!

lyrics

There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many boys and there’s too many girls
There’s too many people in the world

I wonder how it got to be this way
There’s people everywhere you look today
If we’re making all these people
In some ways it’s deceitful
I wish there was enough to go around

I wonder if we all will get a plate
Or if for some of us it’s just too late
If we’re all gonna starve
Cuz we ain’t got no heart
I wish that we all just live apart

There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many boys and there’s too many girls
There’s too many people in the world

I wonder when they’re gonna drop the bomb
I said I wonder when they’re gonna drop the bomb
If they’re gonna drop the bomb
Blow us all to kingdom come
I wish they’d go ahead and get it done

I wonder in a post apocalypse
Who will ever kiss you on the lips
If we’re gonna kill each other
Fall in love with one another
I wish that we would all make up our minds

There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many people in the world
There’s too many boys and there’s too many girls
There’s too many people in the world
