about

Written and recorded in early July 2021, guitar, bass and drum machine were captured on four-track cassette (yep, goin' all retro-analog here), then the vocals, synthesizers and drum-fills were done on the computer.

Rockin' uptempo jangle-fest owes a little to early REM, and I may have inadvertently borrowed a melody from the Go-Betweens...
plus some 70's arena rock nostalgia, teenage suburban wasteland style.

The title didn't come until the song was completed, after having googled "fear of being alone". Turns out that's an actual thing.

lyrics

MONOPHOBIA

I grew up on color Quasar
Remember Dad’s remote control
Then I threw up under the radar
I was born to rock ‘n’ roll

High as a kite in Bobby‘s basement
Flying Turkey captain’s log
Wasted Wednesday, all the party animals
Freebird, War Pigs and Black Dog
Just give me some Peace Frog

The dry ice, smoke and lasers
Held Bic lighter up on high

Crashing car Met parking lot
Gran Torino burst in flames
Dying to be part of some thing
An almost famous household no-name

Corner the market isolation
Trying to sell us open wide
I’m still the same afraid as ever
Still feel the same afraid as ever
Wouldn’t it be something if we
Could be alone together
