The Big Big Deal

by tv room

supported by

stars_shattered Funtime USA? More like Funtime freaking Earth, because this album is gonna be blasting for all to hear through my five dollar headphones!

I discovered tv room a couple years ago along and i feel this is the best ep yet! Favorite track: So Beautiful.

ANG0RAM0N A beautiful album that has the sound of childish curiosity and wonder. It's a short yet pleasant listen through. Big and Strong makes me think of having an imaginary friend by your side. Favorite track: Big and Strong.

easnya i have a feeling þis album will be in a very special place, 6 inches away from my head and 6 inches away from my heart. Favorite track: Head and Heart.

spdx_bandcamp Dear Pet Rock is my favourite track since it made me think about how we anthropomorphise and love things that, to an outside observer, don't seem to give much back, but to us, mean the world. i still think the pet rock is made of shale, which would make it really really old!! i can only imagine the geological adventure it must have been on before it ended up a pet Favorite track: Dear Pet Rock.

Red skin, sticky lips, and stomach aches It's not just fried dough, it's funnel cake I have made amends for my mistakes And I'm not that scared to die today I saw a video online A boy my age who sadly died He waited all day for this ride Which promptly flung him in the sky I waited all day for this ride I waited all day Sipping watered down pink lemonade I played just one game in the arcade I clenched my fist in a test of strength I'll hold on tight as I die today I wrote a note to say goodbye To friends and loved ones left behind And thank god I won't see them cry I saw a video online A boy my age who sadly died He waited all day for this ride Which promptly flung him in the sky I waited all day for this ride I waited all day

The backs of the legs, the fronts of the legs, the ankles, the feet, and the belly, the neck. Your mouth was formed a certain way. Your eyes were formed a certain way. Ears were formed in a certain way. There's a certain way a potter cups his hands And a certain shape a worm makes when it bends There's a certain way I wish my body moved And a certain tone of voice that I could use There's a certain way that watercolors mix And a certain way a dress moves in the wind There's a calmness and a grace I never had There's a different life I want that makes me sad I wanna be beautiful too I wanna be beautiful too I wanna be beautiful too There's a certain kind of tightness in my chest And a certain type of kindness I don't get (You're beautiful!) (What?) There's a certain way you looked at me last night (You're so beautiful!) (Thanks!) There's a a certain way you make me think I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful There's a certain way your hands looked next to mine I found so beautiful And it makes me think that I could be like you I wanna be beautiful too I wanna be beautiful too I wanna be beautiful too J'ai jeté mon lit et mon miroir. J'ai peint une fleur. Puis un arbre. Puis une pomme. Puis un papillon. Puis un oiseau. J'ai recouvert mes murs de belles choses.

I have visions And I know they will come true I feel something shifting Do you feel it too? I was nervous Now I know the path is true I have found my purpose Have you found yours too? I hope you find yours too Manifest! Manifest! Manifest! Manifest! I was sad Now I'm blessed Manifest! Manifest! It's all in your head So keep thoughts of success Manifest! Things looked so bleak I had nothing left to do Now it's laid out plainly Do you see it too? I hope you see it too Hope you see it too Manifest! Manifest! Manifest! Manifest! I was sad Now I'm blessed Manifest! Manifest! It's all in your head So keep thoughts of success Manifest! All in your head It's all in your head Manifest!

Take a short moment to gather your thoughts Your head and your heart are just one foot apart Heart moves the blood to the legs and the arms Head moves the legs and feet follow the heart Head and heart Head and heart Head and heart, drifting apart It's getting harder to know what I want Dreaming I'm something and knowing I'm not Used to be easy but now it takes thought Head and heart Head and heart Head and heart Head and heart Head and heart Head and heart We can always count on one another to be there for us even when we haven't had the best day.

It's okay, it's okay It's okay, you're okay You lived a million years You'll make it through the day Through the sun And the rain And the mud And the clay You lived a million years Now look ahead to better days You're my rock You're my everything My pet rock I'd do anything To see you smile again And I don't know when It went wrong I'm just glad we're still friends It's okay, it's okay It's okay, you're okay You lived a million years You'll make it through the day Through the sun And the rain And the mud And the clay You lived a million years Now look ahead to better days I feel lost Don't know what to do Is it my fault That you feel it too? I'd end it all If it wasn't true You needed me Like I need you

about

Why did I waste so much time feeling doomed? One afternoon I woke up on the floor and thought I might already have died. Suddenly, a beautiful and unnameable feeling possessed me to paint a flower. Then a tree. Then an apple. Then a butterfly. As I taped each painting to a wall in my apartment, I remembered writing my first crush's name over and over in my notebook. I’d write it as big as it would fit on the page, or small -- as many times as I could. She was the fastest girl runner and I was the fastest boy runner. Her favorite color was blue and mine was red. With her as a reference, I knew exactly who I was.

I didn’t stop until every wall was completely covered. The final painting I placed was of two hands reaching up to the sky. I think I know what to do now. No more tears.
