Your Brother Screaming at a Random Old Dude in the Parking Lot
By Cosmic Cairns on September 4, 2018 8:09 pm
I've come to realize that every family seems to have at least one weirdo or crazy person in it. In my girlfriend's case it's her brother. He's done many crazy/annoying/cringe-worthy things over the years and this is just one example. We recently went to celebrate his 41st birthday at a restaurant along with their parents. Everything was going fine and then just before it was time to pay the bill he excused himself because he needed to smoke and said he'd meet us outside. So we go out and at first he's nowhere in sight and then I spot him all the way across this rather large parking lot with his face inches away from this older gentleman's face and screaming at the top of his lungs. They were slowly making their way towards us and eventually we gathered that he had somehow suffered some sort of perceived insult from this old guy and his response was to continuously yell at top volume in the guy's face. Honestly, the older fellow showed remarkable restraint. He wasn't yelling back and he didn't punch him, which he probably deserved. I mean, this guy wasn't like 90, he looked to be in reasonable shape actually but he probably had at least 20 years on my girlfriend's crazy brother. At any rate her mom finally was able to drag him away long enough to get him into the car although he hadn't stopped screaming. Way to celebrate your birthday, dude. We were in a separate car so we kind of just left without saying goodbye. The whole situation was weird, confusing, awkward, and honestly pretty embarrassing. So that's sort of the vibe I wanted to capture when I went into this track. Not an exact re-telling of the story but the feeling of awkward confusion and embarrassment.

I definitely can relate to the family dramas. Were the screams from you or found online? They pretty much sum up my feelings when I can't find a chord progression I like
