Zarni: Music

Friday Night Lights

(Zarni)

One night, about in the middle of last semester I was on the ground. Like literally laying on the ground of my bedroom floor and I was sulking like a little baby about something someone had said to me that I didn't like and he was going to party and I was not. Weehh wehhh

I got up, got in bed and turned my light off. This song almost didn't exist until I was laying there thinking, how many times am I going to keep doing this? Let myself be defeated. I wondered, how many people do that in general? I turned the light back on, got up and sat at my piano and just spewed out the first draft of the song which I edited, intensely, for the next three days (The first version of the chorus was so shiza) And so... "Friday night lights" was born and after a few weeks it begged and pleaded me to be the title song of the album because it knew that that was the conclusion I had needed to come to all those years, after all those others songs had already been written. As soon as I finally came to terms with this self-realization I decided "Fine. You can be it"

I've never laid on my floor pathetically like that since then. I hope you will think twice too
