  • Little Laptop Letter - Limited Edition CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Home-burned and hand-made from on the road (I currently live in a Honda Fit while moving across the country lol). This one is a bit of an arts n' crafts explosion. It's a letter on the outside and a computer on the inside. They are made out of recycled DVD cases, paper bags, and a million stickers and other little knick knacks.

about

Ah yes time for the post-ADHD-diagnosis portion of the album

When I wrote this song, I was obsessed with comparing myself against all the symptoms and stereotypes to decide if I was “really ADHD enough” to fit in with the people I saw online. I’m still not totally sure, but I found it really useful to try on different “ADHD hats” in this song.

The punchline of the song came from a real interaction I had with my therapist. I distracted her with a joke while she was writing my prescription, and she accidentally wrote down the words I was saying and had to scratch it out and start over. Who has ADHD now? lol

lyrics

I am a brand new person
Now that I’ve received medication
Don’t expect me to be a f-up
You’ll be out of luck
Cause I’m a damn brand new human being
Let’s go

Uh oh uh oh
We're burnin down the house again
(Burnin down the house)
I don’t remember turning on the stove
Uh oh uh oh
We're crashing your party, whoa
(Crashing on your couch)
But I don’t really wanna go

It's nice to know
That's it's so easy being brand new
Just take a pill
But this feelings fleeting sometimes it goes

I'd be a super human
If I could just remember how to do it
And by it I mean anything
All the way
And honey won't give me the time of day
She’s says everything I got to say
Is so cliche
Tired excuses

Uh oh uh oh
Burnin down the house again
(Burnin down the house)
And I can never find the door
Uh oh uh oh
I’ll show up to your party, hey
(Crashing on your couch)
Cause I don't wanna be alone

Oh
So what now
That I’ve got it all figured out
So
what now
I made the pharmacist laugh and get distracted when I asked her that

Pacing San Jose, California

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
