Cube 03:28
All the people were standing there and I was trying to hold my breath They don't really care I was trying to hold my breath when I saw your sister walk in She don't really care but who can blame her then?

Out of sight and out of mind A bag of peanuts by her side She always did her research most of the time Catherine Zeta stared me down A crooked smile to crooked frown The greatest face to ever grace this town And I was feeling so aligned with the moon and stars alike And the feeling's mutual So what the heck is going on? A breakdown of my favourite song was not enough to keep things going strong Bit by bit and piece by piece She's halfway through a massive speech and her sanity was nothing short of reached And I was feeling so aligned with the moon and stars alike And the feeling's mutual

I gave a spoiler alert so you could figure it out I swear I'm telling the truth but you were living in doubt Guess the future wasn't something that you were willing to talk about I gave you one of my jackets as we walked home in the rain I told a pretty bad joke but you laughed anyway Guess it didn't take a lot to win your heart over that day So what if everyone's staring? I ain't got nothing to hide I'd take a trillion bullets to keep my ego alive and I would donate all my organs just to keep you satisfied And when they bury my body they'll say how lucky they were for such a beautiful human to have been sharing the earth and they'll carve my face in tombstones with the wrong date of birth
5.
Lacking Air 02:36
I gotta leave my bed but ain't feeling it And they just can't seem to find anything She never wrote a book about feeling cared She never saw the signs that I was lacking air I gotta leave my bed but I don't know when And I just can't stand to see your face again She never wrote a book about paying fares She never saw the signs that I was lacking air
6.
House MD 01:37
I had a doctors appointment that I didn't attend to I thought that I would enjoy it I was wrong A million different reasons A million different excuses I tried to use them all at the same time I had a dentist appointment on hold until further notice and they thought I was joking at the time A million different reasons A million different excuses Tried to put all my favourites in the same line
7.
Friendzoned 02:45
And all your actions hold no ground And you only go to pet shops just to browse And don't tell me that you're so nice But you're always stuck in friendzones every time And all your actions hold no ground And you only go to pet shops just to browse And don't tell me that you've paid the price for being friendzoned every time
8.
Ode To Xoy 03:18
No Beastie Boy could fight these rights I'm looking for answers and there's none in sight No Morpheus can say I'm the one I'm looking for answers and I don't see none No Shannon Noll could lend me a drive I'm looking for answers and there's none in sight
9.
James Impala 03:11
And I swear I don't know what it's for I bought all your clothes from the grocery store and I stare at your face as you fall to the floor and I don't know what I'm doing here no more

about

Jarrow (known to his mum and his buddies as Dan Oke) is a self-taught, self-produced, multi-instrumentalist 20 year old wunderkind who we stumbled upon in Footscray earlier this year. His debut single $$ Spoilers $$ has created quite the stir - premiering on Apple Music's Beats Radio and cracking Spotify's UK Viral top 15 - all without leaving Melbourne.

Jarrow describes his sound as "garage rock meets indie pop meets post punk meets free jazz” and while he was being tongue in cheek at the time, he's actually not that far off. His production is remarkably adventurous and self-assured while lyrically he's both profound and hilarious.

Dan refers to his debut album as “a collection of semi-autobiographical snippets of my life over a super eventful period of my life being put to tape with loud music playing over the top of it.” Initially, he believed that recording an LP was too “far-fetched” to be an achievable reality. Back in 2003 (when he was just 7 years of age!) he imagined one day recording an album, hence the name “2003 Dream”.
