mc crae - thank yous (waterfalls) lyrics

waterfalls is complete. finished

after two years of writing and recording, we have gotten to the end point of this journey. i conceptualized this project almost exactly two years ago in the bas-m-nt of my dorm at mizzou

waterfalls started off as an homage to the music that made me who i am, and, to a degree, it still is. waterfalls, as you will find in the t-tle track, refers to how i feel when i listen to music. whenever an artist (as referenced in the song) such as bob seger or bruce springsteen hit a particular chord or wrote a particularly relatable lyric, it created a connection of some sort. it felt like a waterfall rushed over me. that was the same sensation i hoped to make with these songs

i wanted the cover art to show this emotion with a naked woman. nudity is us at our most vulnerable, and music has a way of protecting our vulnerabilities. think about it: when your favorite artist sings or raps and exposes their wrongdoings, exposes themselves, we feel safer knowing someone else, someone perhaps with higher stature, feels the same. artists expose themselves so that listeners feel safe. the waterfalls protect us

there are very many people that i need to thank for the creation of this alb-m

thank you to:
god

my family, my parents, my brother shane and my sister kelsey. you have provided endless opportunities out of the goodness of your hearts and i am forever indebted to you

my girlfriend, hannah. you created the amazing cover art and you created more love in your heart than anyone i have known. i love you beyond what i can tell or show you

dylan trochtenberg. you have paved many avenues for my success and you are one of the greatest human beings i have had the fortune to meet. you have made wonderful friends in jersey and i am happy than can take care of you, since i cannot. i love you, and i cannot wait to see you again

langston newsome. you have heard many of these songs before they were even written down on paper. you heard them through our conversations and have helped me in ways you do and don’t know. keeping it real with you chief, beware of the haters and losers, of which there are many. bless your soul. also, your mother helped inspire the very first track. please thank her for me

my roommates, langston, chris harbison and adam, as well as our dear friend billy finn. dylan told me living with people you love is one of the best things you can do in college. he couldn’t be more correct. you have made college easier than imaginable. you have listened when i needed it the most. here, i will provide my realest and most honest sports takes. patty mahomes > mitch-ll trubisky. kirk cousins is a mediocre qb. the saints are the most dangerous team in the league. college basketball is more enjoyable than the nba (although the nba features obviously better athletes)

megan hufnagel. i truly hope you are doing okay at semo and i appreciate everything you did and do for me. in thanks to you, i have discovered that i want to be a teacher. you are incredibly strong and i cannot wait until we meet again. rick and morty season 4 will be out soon

sofia copat. there are few 20 year olds who i would consider wise. you are one of them. thank you for all you’ve done. please play a million musical instruments on my next project

kipper. we both recognize that we don’t have the answers but we sure have fun trying to figure them out. thank you for everything. i appreciate you being a lending voice and a helping hand, no matter what

also special thanks and recognition to:

i would also like to thank you for listening. “good listeners we connect with better.” please go out and continue to support your musician friends. retweet their work, hype them up and encourage them to continue being artists

if i missed you, please blame my mind and not my heart (word to jon connor)

i do not know when my next project will come out, nor in what form. i can promise you i will continue to work diligently to create honest, authentic work and use my voice for good. i encourage you to do the same

all my love. your brother
