Lyrics:
I am the guy
who reads off my inner monologue
I am the dude
who swallows all my platitudes
I am the fool
who got caught nude in the swimming pool
I’m just try-ing I’m just try-ing
I - I - I
gotta be halfway zen
I think I can see the end
I - I - I’m
sure this is the path
I’ve just got to check the math
I’m the skeptic
who argues from my vanity
I’m not the skeptic
who probes from curiosity
I’m just try-ing I’m just try-ing
I - I - I
gotta be halfway zen
I think I can see the end
I - I - I
can see the light
I knew it’d be this bright
I - I - I
followed the rules
I used the right tools
I - I - I
gotta be halfway zen
I know it’s just around the bend

[@timstadlmueller58]

One of the most original musicians I've discovered in recent years. Simple music, but totally engrossing.

[@hospitalcleaner]

Simple sounding. Complex chord changes though

[@tollieman5750]

This specific song sorta reminds me of Ginger Root

[@timstadlmueller58]

The DOOM track? ​@@tollieman5750

[@ChemSteve]

Watching this video made me realize that he's the head model for Adult Swim's excellent and trippy video "Face Lift". Which makes sense since I think he did the music to that. 👍👍👍

[@quackapatth]

This song is pure bliss I love it especially the hook

[@nmerrick]

I was just listening to My Rival by Steely Dan and the singing style reminded me of Jerry Paper.

[@joshb8976]

Glad to see McLovin' starting a music career. Shit's dope.

[@onnizx]

He reminds me of some sorta mix between Andy Samberg and Michael Cera

[@iwastetime]

I think that mclovin dude really did start a band or something

[@joshb8976]

Damn I can’t believe I wrote this 6 years ago. Jerry has become one of my favorite musicians since then lol. I anticipate his album releases.
