Ode to the Modern Artist (Bored)
Lyrics:
everything i do is new
until its not
everything i make is fresh
until it rots
i just wanna write a song
that i forget each time it ends
so every time i hit repeat
it’d be like the first time again
maybe i get bored
a little too soon
for my own good
but i’m being spoon fed instant gratification
every creation is overplayed before it’s even finished
i’m getting bored
of this chorus i'm playing
i’ll change up the chord
so it’s not the same as the last line
throw in a key change
mental stimulation
play me something that i’ve never heard before
maybe i get bored
a little too soon
for my own good
but we're being spoon fed into overconsumption
waiting for nothing attention span gone
i forget what i’ve been waiting for
if i have to wait a moment or two or three more
i’m being spoon fed instant gratification
every creation is over promoted
not to sugar coat it but-
i’m bored of that key i was in just now
(the concept of this song is not original)
but maybe how i’m going about it
is new to a handful of ears
and they’ll love it
and they’ll have it on loop-
till they're bored
order merch have it sent straight to the second hand store
i am turning into PG Bo Burnham
for reasons i don't know
i think it’s because i got bored of my previous style
what if after a while
no one really listens to me anymore...
(long instrumental anticipation build up woOooOOo)
we’re right back where we started
reinvent the wheel 1000 times
will i make it as an artist
or will i bore them all before i reach my prime
there's only so many ways to write to strum to rhyme
(everything i do is- everything i do is-)
only so many hooks and melodies to score
(everything i do is- everything i do is-)
only so many ways to make my music mine
(everything we do is- everything we do is-)
to reignite the love we have for art till we get
bored

[@zolove_]

I LOVE this! The idea of breaking the fourth wall in a song is one of my favorites and this is one of the best ways i've seen it happen

[@patti_is_badatedits]

Love your pfp

[@i.like.clouds.7591]

OMG the build up to the chorus part >> I LOVED THAT SO MUCH

[@dawfdawf9169]

please consider spotify for this one, incredible song

[@Mossy_316]

Agreed

[@SevinTheShapeShifter]

yesyes this this i love

[@asmi3424]

Yes omgggg

[@MBSfilms77]

I think she is working on Spotify for this one, probably will post it along with misery & co and some other unposted songs in an album in a few months

[@lavapug]

“Every creation is overplayed before it’s even finished” Not you calling me out for listening to this and Misery & co on repeat-

[@jontay4199]

same

[@Aquaarel_]

HELP THE SUBWAY SURFERS POPPING UP HAD ME ROLLING 😭😭 I ADORE this song like I do all of yours lol! Love the ending especially!!

[@R0TTEN_3GGS]

FRR I CACKLED 😭😭

[@oko.nomi.yaki.]

oh. my. goodness. i cannot tell you how relatable this is. im an artist myself, i write songs and poems and paint and draw and im scared ill run out of ideas. seeing you put your songs out gives me so much inspiration. thank you

[@very_silly_art]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG!! THE CHORUS IS SO AMAZING

[@AsteryxSings]

that final chorus is the biggest dopamine hit ive had from a song in such a long time, this is beautiful

[@ctsnickeyjf1329]

I’M SCREAMING, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! It always feels like nothing is creative, and we lose our love for art, but we keep creating and MAYBE we’ll spark a new fire, something that to ourselves is at least an ember shaped different than a line.

[@MrGamingTurkiye]

It's a crime that it's not uploaded on Spotify

[@weirdnerdygoat]

Something that really helped me with this problem with art is to view art as the PROCESS, and not the finished piece. Because yeah. Everything has been done before. Your work will get old quickly. AI can make more and more pieces of art at better and better quality. If your goal is to make art that is original, that others like, that rises to the top or is special, you're nearly doomed to fail. But nothing can take away the joy of CREATION, of pouring your soul into your art and living it. So yeah- art is the process of creation, and not just a product:) (Art should be a verb /hj)

[@dadDDD235]

:) (I want to say something but I don't know what)

[@weirdnerdygoat]

​@@dadDDD235that is literally such a mood XD

[@dadDDD235]

​@@weirdnerdygoat:D

[@thebookkeeper.k]

I promise I'm not getting bored of your music any time soon. Like if I was ever unsure, the pure *chaos* of this song reminds me exactly why I love your stuff so much. It feeds a part of my creativity I really need, and it helps me get away from my need for perfect order. Also your lyrics crack me up PG Bo Burnham.

[@willowthecrowchild]

These chords are giving me chills

[@wall_45]

ironically, enough was happening in this that i stopped dissociating, thank you madi

[@my_name_is_think]

THIS WAS RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY! this song is great

[@freylasalazar6819]

Es gloriosa Nunca me había encariñado tanto con alguien tan rápido I swear, this thing is why I learn other languages ❤

[@aifhag]

I'm in love with this song

[@kittymittenz]

OH MY GOD i have adhd and this is essentially how doing anything feels. i start a project, work on it for a few minutes and then im bored. and the cycle repeats forever so now i have endless projects ill never finish or have anything to show for😭

[@daddystirner1733]

I have always enjoyed either raw emotions in your songs or the creativity behind it. Seeing that you're putting your fantasies and imagination into them. And I have to say, rather than this being filled with raw emotions, it is filled with raw thoughts. I love it. And yes, you will make it as an artist, you already did, you're creating what you want and are enjoying it, letting us on the ride too.

[@mint0w0]

I’m not even a musician but oh my gosh I absolutely love this. I think this song relatable to all of artists. Great job! 🔆💚

[@Mossy_316]

“Every creation is overplayed before it’s even finished”

[@Amity_BlightTOH]

I just wanna say, they now have 79.3k subs! When they posted Misery and co they had about 62k I think, and I’m so glad that Madilyn mei is finally getting the recognition they deserve!

[@Amity_BlightTOH]

Wow, 2 days later they gained abt 600 subs!

[@kitty11110]

2:10 Literal chills dude

[@Janeexxxx]

Thanks for making me feel alive again.

[@sprinkl13]

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS SO GORGEOUS I LOVE THIS. It NEEEDS to be put on Apple Music pleaseeee im begging you.

[@whyarewe_evenhere]

i have unironically had this on repeat for like hours. this is so great, one of your best songs so far which makes sense iggggg BUT ALL YOUR SONGS ARE SO GREATT

[@Vos_Drag0n]

POV this Is how madilyn mei vents

[@harry_hernandes-salavis]

if this is not already an song then MAKE IT A SONG NOW. because this is SO relatable, i do this all the time with shopping lists and random words and things i see. so please please make this a song so i can listen to this on spotify. btw the bridge is absolutely beautifully sung

[@Another.Youtuber]

1:25 caught me in 4k... I've had it on loop for too long

[@ScarabKovaire]

As someone who has basically been stuck in an endless cycle of rewriting, reworking, and tweaking songs, compositions and art that I've been working on on and off, this nailed the feeling on the head. Kudos for expressing something that I think most artists of all kinds have felt but can't always put to words. This was great!

[@Ade_Nix]

This one of the realest songs I’ve ever heard. Absolute masterpiece.

[@sleepdeprivedmortal]

This makes my adhd tingle and for once im actually NOT bored

[@chin4604]

Don't worry Madilyn we will NEVER get bored of your music!

[@noracookerly3177]

PLEASE I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY (also I love your music and ur really cool)

[@Lospepper-b8n]

[@dadDDD235]

This reminds me of when Im bored but in sillyish mood especially the chorus

[@-peyat]

THIS SONG IS TOO SHORT its sooo goood!! also every time i replay it, it feels new and its beautiful i love the vocal harmonies sm!

[@KumiSuki]

[@Coin587]

[@Spiteeee_]

[@emo_poof_2653]

Omg this perfectly explains how i feel about making music. Need a full release for sure👏👏👏 Love your music so much!

[@Baocacia]

Why do i relate to this to much- Sometimes im just stuck scrolling on youtube, cant find anything to watch to waste my time for someones wealth and profit. Im stuck there scrollimg for minutes, until i look up from my phone and remember that lifes not a game. You cant undo your desicions or undo time.❤

[@bluebiird-]

this is my comfort song right now. its so lovely. thank you for making this, madilyn mei

[@Juli-x8z]

Im beggg u to release this on spotify PLEASE 🙏 ❤

[@Annanimy]

Thank you for expressing how you feel so I could put more understanding into how I feel🙂‍↕️🤗

[@sadratTV]

music artists and art artists have something in common... we get bored of our art, we think its not original. i already got bored of this text i was doing, shit, i thought it was a good idea-- nevermind.

[@RedLuigiE]

2:52 thx for the seizure warning lol. Incredibly creative song tho, and the key changes are genuis.

[@connernicewander8503]

We need a Spotify release of this

[@themaskedinc.786]

[@Art.the.Crafter]

Ukulele music is usually not for me, but, god damn you're awesome!

[@dadDDD235]

[@BrielleLong-kt4rp]

[@GhostSublimeAnimations]

[@allmights1fan.0]

[@redpath_testchannel]

I still can't remember the lyrics to the song AKA you did a good job

[@idekwtfidatp_]

WE'RE HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[@joeysoftpaws]

2:04 THIS MADE ME LOSE IT LMAO I LOVE YOU ❤

[@weirdnerdygoat]

i don't know any other song that scratches my brain in this way, the layering of your voice is just so AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA /pos like i literally just had the sudden need to listen to this at 2 am because my brain required the feeling from this song xD

[@lordturtleduck]

gorgeous song, can’t wait for the full release (i’m lying i will wait a decade if that’s what it takes)

[@soupstar2088]

Madilyn is like if all my favorite artist gave birth to the perfect song child 🤸🤸🤸 Edit: I don’t know if this was intentional or not but on videos like this (Misery and Co. and tho I’m a tortoise) she tends to put “original” in the title. But she didn’t for this one and I don’t know if this was intentional since this song alludes to that there’s not much originality left or if it’s a happy accident. 🦎🦎

[@dadDDD235]

I love this

[@L0veehurts]

That was AMAZING omg I needed this badly.

[@KoiTHB]

Gosh, I love this song. I am an aspiring singer/songwriter. on every page of every notebook there is just *one little verse* and then after that I will think “ehhhhh, that’s a boring concept” and go to the next page. So yeah, I relate.

[@Moonz_silly_Art]

This sounds… GREAT U SHOULD MAKE THIS A REAL SONG

[@V-BING]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG TOUR AMASZING!!!!💅💖❤️❤️

[@darksouls47]

Alright! this has to be my favorite so far! I'm still in love with all of your songs, but this one, to me, is very catchy! 🙂👍

[@LilSulfite]

I can imagine how annoying it gets to promote one specific song over and over again. Something like the video about the 5 stages of grief with your songs, that is, I think, less likely to bore you or me

[@vonKarnas]

I need to hire you to write and perform the theme song for my animated series! I'd also love for you to voice a character.

[@lasagnafrenchtoasthoneybutter]

I really need an official version so that the volume matches the rest of your songs, I love this

[@Kiki-mm1qy]

I'm a huge fan and this was SO GOOD your voice is so beautiful.

[@dadDDD235]

I LOVE ITTTTTT it's amazing and you get a whole vibe with it it's AMAZING (also 700th like)

[@josuemelomata4722]

[@elias_is_wild]

[@hedonology]

PG Bo Burnham goes hard tho

[@Lena_M]

[@multiPIED]

I feel like the end could've been "reinvent the wheel 1000. Now there's a 1000 and one moreeee, when will we use this skill not to side, not to boORee..." Though I love the one you have already, but smth like that

[@BLUEBERRY_GRAPE_YAYA]

i cant understand her at one point but i love song :3

[@Jermcrusher]

What do you mean 'Messy Demo'? This was phenomenal!

[@stabby7194]

I’ve never put a song on my playlist so fast

[@stolas.goetia__is_hungry]
