J. Robot One of the best bands in Memphis, and one of the best indie rock tracks of 2020. I've heard so much indie rock now that it takes a lot to impress me, but "Bunkbed" delivers. When all this COVID mess is over, go see them live.

about

Bunkbed, captures a nagging desire for intimacy that always ends in loneliness. Shaw’s lyrics play with the metaphor of a bunk bed as a force separating you from the person you yearn to find intimacy with. This first release is one of several singles recorded in Memphis, Tennessee’s own Sun Studio over the course of 10 hours. Bunkbed will be released through Maudlin Jerk Records, the label Shaw runs with Memphis artist John Christie.

lyrics

I can never compete with how he made you feel

Just ash that cigarette the buzz won’t help you heal

Is it always this cold up here this roof really needs repairs

You only respond is it okay if someone cares


You say it’s getting late but you swear you can sneak me inside

Dad always falls asleep when he makes your mom cry

Everything smells like vodka and the nice perfume you wear

You lie in your Twin sized bed holding a teddy bear

Saying Can I stay the night

I’m tired of always sleeping alone

Can I stay the night

Why must I always be alone

I guess we are all grown up now

Two dumb kids too poor to pay rent

So promise me we won’t change in year or two promise me I won’t stop missing you

God I hate being alone(4x)

Now that your always and only alone
Are you better off than I was

Now that your always and only alone
Are you better off than I was
