about

a song that'll sound better later.

lyrics

this song will sound better when i'm dead
this song will sound better when i'm dead
my words are gonna get lodged between the spaces in your head
this song will sound better
this song will sound better
this song will sound better when i'm dead

my voice will sound sweeter when i'm dead
my voice will sound sweeter when i'm dead
my corpse will tell stories of the lives i would have led
my voice will sound sweeter
my voice will sound sweeter
my voice will sound sweeter when i'm dead

(this song will sound better when i'm dead
this song will sound better when i'm dead)

sing kyrie, sing requiem, sing secular amen
though free from all fetters, i have to ask whether
this song will sound better when i'm dead

released January 24, 2023
Corinne Kite-Dean did everything except the crowd vocals at the end. my roommates, girlfriend, and cat sang that last word with her. also lots of people gave her feedback on the track. but she pressed all the buttons and made all the air wiggle.
