about

i recorded this love song for my rabbit in april.

he got unexpectedly sick and passed of liver failure on july 13 2020. benjamin was my best friend.

i am releasing this track now to honor him. it was only ever meant to be a demo so it's not the highest quality but i wanted to save it as i wrote it for him. he was in the room with me when i did all of the original takes.

benjamin was a spectacular rabbit and friend. words cannot describe how much he'll be missed. i am so thankful i got to spent part of my life with him.

all profits made on this track will go towards his vet bill but ultimately, the track itself is free for download!

lyrics

Sylvie
drove me to the AHS
after Chaaya Paatels math class
in the worst week that we'd had yet
Benji
was laying in the back of the room
they say sometimes your fate picks you
so i decided to bring him home

oh
i've never felt like this before

with the softest hair
and the longest toes
and a nose that never quits!
i wanna pet him all the time
i hope my rabbit never dies
i hope my rabbit never dies
i hope my rabbit never dies

it is okay when he
sheds his hair all over me
ill take pills for the allergies
& i forgive him for chewing up all of my cords
its my fault he must have been bored
so ill just let it slide

oh
ive never loved like this before

with the softest hair
and the longest toes
and a nose that never quits!
i wanna pet him all the time
i wanna pet him all the time
i wanna pet him all the time
i wanna pet him all the time
