A Message from Zack about the song:

"Since I can remember, the critic has been the loudest voice in my head. I have subjected myself to consistent emotional violence, which created an anxious, co-dependent man who was eager to please at the expense of his own well-being. A man who was incapable of true connection—a man who longed to be seen and known but was not willing to see and know himself because of his own shameful self-image. He needed other people to validate and accept him because he hadn’t done that for himself. He didn’t want to look.

With the loving support of Dani, my therapist, and dear friends, it is only recently that I have found the courage to begin compassionately meeting the different children, all of them me, still living inside, yearning to be seen, validated, and included as part of me. It is deeply sad that for cultural, social, and religious reasons, many of us learn that our ‘weaknesses’ should hidden from sight—even our own. What I’ve realized through this work is that I am responsible for re-parenting and re-loving the parts of myself I at one point found weak or embarrassing. I am the script writer of my internal dialogue, not the victim.

I wrote these words in a journal to process some patterns I have. But one morning weeks later, when I found myself humming a melody that lined up perfectly with the words I had written, I knew I had to make the song. Better in the Morning is a love song to myself, but more broadly, to men. It is not weak to heal trauma and hurt. It is not weak to be gentle with yourself, to speak lovingly to yourself, and to accept yourself—it is beautiful. As contrary as it is to the bravado-software I may have learned is necessary to survive as a male in this world, this is a way into true peace and compassion for myself and for others.

As author and mystic Richard Rohr has said, “if you do not transform your pain, you will transmit it.” I’m not sure there is more important language to describe how to heal. Let’s create a more empathetic and symbiotic flow in this world. It starts with me, and it starts with you. Let’s keep learning to love ourselves well and watch everything saturate with color. I love you all."

LYRICS
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, The friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer, and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Lyrics:
We don't have to lie
We know this is wrong
Someone on my mind
Got someone on my phone
If we gonna play house
Then I can play my role
Before it gets too deep
Don't wanna lead you on

Ran into your arms
While running from the pain
Ran past all the signs
Looking for something safe
Let you take advantage
So I could fill that space
Just another classic case

Got me on the rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out

Out here playing a game that can't
Neither one of us win
We're just shootin’ shots
That ain't even touchin’ the rim
I can't force the love
When i'm only thinking of him
You know what I want
You know where I been
I only

Ran into your arms, while running from the pain
Ran past all the signs
Looking for something safe
Let you take advantage so I could fill that space
Just another classic case

Got me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out

Got me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out

I was really tryna swing, but this thing don't feel the same
I’ve been thinking ‘bout my baby past 360 days
Solo hit different
Now I’m wood grain whippin’
Outside, big tippin’ Outside, big tippin’
Put this song on repeat, make ‘em take another listen
If you with somebody else to get over you who missing
If the love ain't real, I can't really stick around
Guess the game got cold, now you on the rebound

Got me on the rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out

Got me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound, rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out

Now don’t sit over there lookin’ like a victim
You knew what it was
You grown, you made your choice
It is what is it

#deepbluesomething #breakfastattiffanys

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Deep Blue Something would be best known for the hit single Breakfast at Tiffany’s and while the song shot the group to fame around the world, there history would be plagued with legal troubles and changing trends. Today let’s take a look at whatever happened to Deep Blue something.

Two brothers from Texas Toby and Todd Pipes would attend Sam Houston State University together in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Todd was the eldest of the two and It was during their time at Sam Houston State, the younger brother Toby wanted to change his major, but the program he wanted wasn’t offered at Sam Houston, so he transferred to the University of North Texas in Denton. Once Todd graduated from Sam Houston with an English degree. he would receive a call from his brother who told him how great the music scene in Denton was. For Todd it presented a great opportunity as his mother was after him to go to graduate school and going to University of North Texas would let him get that degree and join the music scene with his brother. Keep in mind this was the spring of 1991 so grunge wasn’t popular yet at the time. Initially Toby and Todd’s first musical outfit they put together leaned in a major electronic direction utilizing keyboards and drum machines taking inspiration from British groups like EMF, The Stone Roses, Happy Monday’s. Side note i’ve done a video on the stone roses, link is down below. Todd would front the band while Toby would play keyboards.

As the brothers started to look at booking live gigs they soon realized that they were an anomaly out of a lot of bands who were playing clubs and they couldn’t just go up on stage with a synthesizer and drum machine, so according to Todd who told backstage and behind he scenes youtube channel out of convenience the brothers changed their sound to be more straight forward rock n’ roll. Toby who only played keyboards at the time had to learn how to play guitar.

The brothers would enlist a drummer named john Kirtland who was playing in a band LoveSwing. They wanted to add a rhythm guitar but make it acoustic.. They would end up finding a guitar player named Clay Burgus who actually lived in their apartment complex. They decided to call their own band Leper Messiah not taking their name from the Metallica song but from a line in the David Bowie song Ziggy Stardust.

Frontman and bassist Todd Pipes would admit to Backstage and Behind the Scenes YouTube channel that because of the band’s name some people at their first several gigs thought they were a metallica tribute band. Of course the band’s sound was nothing even remotely close.. It was after a few gigs of not wanting to be mistaken for a metal band that the group finally changed their name. The band had written a 15 minute long unnamed song and they were at rehearsal one day when they were kicking around names. Drummer John Kirtland suggested Deep Blue Something not thinking that would be he name, insead thinking the word something would be replaced with another word but Todd loved the name and instead of using it for just the song they used it as their moniker going forward. By this point in time grunge had now taken over, and for the band’s they presented an alternative sound. The approach worked as they were soon selling out shows around Denton. Despite their early success Todd would tell backstage and behind the scenes even though they now made music their career they had no idea how to go about marketing themselves. They didn’t have band photos, they didn’t even have a demo, no bio or even a mailing list. Eventually the band started to learn the trick of the trade by talking to other bands and they would turn to a fan of there’s for financial help,

They would cut their first album 11th song in 1993, which was put out independently. It was by this time the band’s second guitarist Clay Bergus would leave the group. He would be replaced by Kirk Tatom. The band’s first album would contain the track Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
