Better Than Me (Happiest Nuclear Winter)
History
This song was recorded for The Brobecks album Happiest Nuclear Winter. An early mix of this track was shared by the band on October 8th, 2004 that was said to differ greatly from the final mix found on the album however due to incomplete archives of the bands website this early mix has not been found.
According to the recording log for the album work began on this track on May 31st, 2004 when Matt, Dallon & Mike recorded parts for it, then on June 3rd Dallon recorded another part. On June 24th Bryan recorded a part for the track and on July 16th Mike & Dallon recorded vocals for the track among a few others. From October 25th-28th Bryan recorded another part for the track, finishing it off, and a new mix was made with the band questioning whether it would be the final.
Lyrics
Every little girl in Soho, loves to tell me things I don’t know
Beautiful and smart and no good for me
All your boyfriends go to film school, Nathan was in plays in high school
Me I’m gonna play the imbecile
Who keeps choosing you, even though you’re bipolar and you’re selfish, and I hate you
Everyone is better than me, I think
Everyone is better than, better than me, Everyone is better than, better than me
Look what you’ve done now I’m a mess, today I even thought I’d wear a dress
It’s beautiful, so smart and no good for me
Everyone is better than me I think, throw your hands out if you agree with me
Everyone is better than me, I think
Everyone is better than, better than me
