Don't Feel Much 03:18
lyrics
DON’T FEEL MUCH Andrew Allen 2020 V1 Young love, grew old, my hands, still hold Your heart, ice cold, you’re done, I fold Long nights, short days, I’m strong, they say These walls, I made, to hide the pain PRE I tried to turn a little part of me off Hoping I could feel numb, thinking I could move on The problem is you can’t just turn a piece off Ya shut the whole damn thing off, I can’t even feel love CHORUS ‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again ‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something ‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much V2 You left, I froze, my heart, it broke Turns out, I don’t, like being, alone My tears, ran dry, no pain, just time Trapped in, my mind, maybe that’s why PRE I tried to turn a little part of me off Hoping I could feel numb, thinking I could move on The problem is you can’t just turn a piece off Ya shut the whole damn thing off, I can’t even feel love CHORUS ‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again ‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something ‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much BRIDGE Maybe I’m afraid I’ll die, and I won’t feel a thing Or maybe I’m just terrified that I won’t love again CHORUS ‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again ‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something ‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much

I Don't Know You Now 03:18
lyrics
V1 Had an apartment in the West End, you and I were best friends Making love on the weekend, every day was the weekend You were scared of airplanes, but ya wanted to go to cool places So ya put on a brave face, held my hand, said you felt safe PRE I know you like your own time, ya know I like to share mine Maybe that’s a hard line, I never woulda guessed that I’d Be standing here confused, watching while I lose Everything I thought I knew CHORUS There’s so many things about you I remember Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater How you get kinda sad in rainy weather But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever? Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever V1 You say you’re doing so well, it’s funny ‘cause I can’t tell I know, that I’ve been through hell, not that, you asked how I felt I still have the photographs, years deep, remember how we used to laugh Now you’re tryna hide the past, new friends, new you, but you want half PRE What about the late nights? Camping in the moonlight? Promising you and I gonna do life, I never woulda thought that I’d Be standing here confused, watching while I lose Everything I thought I knew CHORUS There’s so many things about you I remember Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater How you get kinda sad in rainy weather But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever? Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever BRIDGE A memory’s a weird thing, when we don’t see the same thing It’s kinda like a strange dream CHORUS There’s so many things about you I remember Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater How you get kinda sad in rainy weather But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever? There’s so many things about you I remember Like all the little secrets that I’ll treasure Do you still get sad in rainy weather? ‘Cuz I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever? Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever.

Ready For You 03:26
lyrics
V1 Honestly you’re not the first one Honestly neither am I Will you tell me bout your first love? And I’ll tell you about mine PRE Tell me all your secrets yeah the bitter parts are sweeter When I know how far you’ve come to be here now I’ll show you all my scars and how they somehow play a part In making me the one that you don't have to doubt CHORUS I can be all yours You can be all mine I know I got some baggage but it got me here tonight You told me where you’ve been And it changes everything Cuz I don’t have to worry that you’re going there again I‘ve been there too, broken hearted and confused It was just getting me ready for you V2 I didn’t know what I wanted ‘Til I found out what I don’t I bet you’ve got the same story Already know how it goes PRE Tell me all your secrets yeah the bitter parts are sweeter When I know how far you’ve come to be here now I’ll show you all my scars and how they somehow play a part In making me the one that you don't have to doubt CHORUS I can be all yours You can be all mine I know I got some baggage but it got me here tonight You told me where you’ve been And it changes everything Cuz I don’t have to worry that you’re going there again I‘ve been there too, broken hearted and confused It was just getting me ready for you

Homeless 02:38
lyrics
V1 My inner orchestra began to play, as the ship was sinking Thought I’d drown the day she went away, but I didn’t Sold the house, and I’ll be moving out, I no longer own this If home’s where the heart is, I’m not homeless PRE Took that first kiss so serious I was hoping that you felt it, ‘cause I felt it CHORUS I’m so over being down down down I’m so fucking high right now It’s you that turned it all around It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and Tell me you’re Down down down To fall in love for real right now ‘Cause if home is where the heart is, I’m not homeless V2 Took a picture on the day we met, you were smiling Looking pretty in a white sundress, it was perfect timing If you’d have met me just a bit before, I was a hot mess Lost my home where my heart was, but I’m not homeless CHORUS I’m so over being down down down I’m so fucking high right now It’s you that turned it all around It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and Tell me you’re Down down down To fall in love for real right now ‘Cause if home is where the heart is, I’m not homeless PRE Took that first kiss so serious I was hoping that you felt it, ‘cause I felt it CHORUS I’m so over being down down down I’m so fucking high right now It’s you that turned it all around It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and Tell me you’re Down down down To fall in love for real right now ‘Cause if home is where the heart is, I’m not homeless

Wanted 02:57
lyrics
V1 You said you wanna pull of these sheets They’re claustrophobic on your feet And these pillows they can’t stay, But you won’t let me leave The world sees the parts I show But you wanna see the parts that no knows God knows that you love my nervous smile Hope you got some time ‘cause this could take a while CHORUS ‘Cause I never felt so wanted Never good enough But you went and changed my world the moment you showed up And if I’m being honest I’m sober but I’m wasted And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted, And girl you know I want it, want it, want it V2 And when your life’s falling apart You pull me close to hear my heart And though I can write a song Baby you’re the piece of art The world sees the parts you show But I wanna see the parts that no one knows God knows that I love it when you smile I hope you got some time ‘cause this could take a while CHORUS ‘Cause I never felt so wanted Never good enough But you went and changed my world the moment you showed up And if I’m being honest I’m sober but I’m wasted And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted, And girl you know I want it, want it, want it You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted, And girl you know I want it, want it, want it V3 Sometimes I think I talk too much But that’s a part of me you say you love I’m just doin’ my best to tell the truth ‘Cause I wanna make you feel the way I do CHORUS ‘Cause you make me feel so wanted Always good enough Ya you can do all the things that you’ve been dreamin of And if I’m being honest I’m sober but I’m wasted And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted, And girl you know I want it, want it, want it You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted, And girl you know I want it, want it, want it You make me feel so wanted

My Friends 02:33
lyrics
V1 Somebody said tequila 4 shots in I forgot that I used to need ya Before I knew it I was 10 feet tall On the court playing basketball But I don’t play sports at all PRE And if you're moving on with someone else Don’t think I’ll be crying to myself CHORUS Cuz I got my friends They laugh when I’m not that funny Don’t try to make me be somebody Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends Don’t care if I’m flying first class Or if I got a brand new bus pass Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends V2 I found me a piano 4 chords in and it wasn’t despacito If the world was ending made its grand debut Making me sad just thinking of you But my friends they pulled me through CHORUS Cuz I got my friends They laugh when I’m not that funny Don’t try to make me be somebody Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends Don’t care if I’m flying first class Or if I got a brand new bus pass Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends PRE So if you're moving on with someone else Don’t think I’ll be crying to myself CHORUS Cuz I got my friends They laugh when I’m not that funny Don’t try to make me be somebody Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends Don’t care if I’m flying first class Or if I got a brand new bus pass Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends

Back To Me 02:44
lyrics
V1 Everytime i think about tomorrow Something’s stirring up inside of me, exponentially Time will tell, but when I fell for you I knew it wasn’t gravity, it was clarity PRE Ooooooo, i think i finally figured out, you don’t ever have to doubt me Ooooooo, this is what I’m all about, baby can you hear me out? CHORUS I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be But I would tell you that I love you even if You never said it back to me V2 How have I been alive this long, But it took you to teach me how to breathe, like, honestly I never woulda seen this coming, let alone turn into something, Kinda crazy you and I are happening CHORUS I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be But I would tell you that I love you even if You never said it back to me PRE Ooooooo, i think i finally figured out, you don’t ever have to doubt me Ooooooo, this is what I’m all about, baby can you hear me out CHORUS I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be But I would tell you that I love you even if You never said it back to me

Linger 02:39
lyrics
VERSE 1 Every single hour felt like minutes to me Meeting you and slowing down came effortlessly It was like a full moon that never burns out I wanna hold you, and spin you around PRE Your hands, my body Baby don’t stop please I’m obviously, yours CHORUS Go slow, i like to let it linger You know, my knees are getting weaker Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur Lips touch, dammit do I need ya Your hair, running through my fingers Sunlight, silhouettes your figure Eyes closed, deep breath Let it linger VERSE 2 You and I are moving though we’re perfectly still Can we pause and let the world turn off and start to unbuild All of these moments that keep us apart I wanna slow down the beat of my heart CHORUS Go slow, i like to let it linger You know, my knees are getting weaker Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur Lips touch, dammit do I need ya Your hair, running through my fingers Sunlight, silhouettes your figure Eyes closed, deep breath Let it linger PRE Your hands, my body Baby don’t stop please I’m obviously, yours CHORUS Go slow, i like to let it linger You know, my knees are getting weaker Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur Lips touch, dammit do I need ya Your hair, running through my fingers Sunlight, silhouettes your figure Eyes closed, deep breath Let it linger

lyrics
V1 Where’d you go? Had I known, I don’t think I would have followed Now I’m home, all alone, trying to make it til tomorrow I can’t sleep but I can scream ‘cause there’s no one here to hear me Empty house, empty heart, God I wish you never loved me PRE Why’m I still loving you? Swear I’m not trying to All that you put me through It’s time to get over you CHORUS I put on my shoes and go for drinks with all my friends I laugh at all their jokes and swear I’m happier than I’ve ever been They say they’re surprised I’m fine with how this thing is ending But the truth, the truth is I’m pretending, I’m pretending The truth is I’m pretending V2 Even now you’re too proud, you can’t even say you’re sorry But in the night, I know you fight yourself to make through til morning This fuckin leash, can’t get it off, when you call me I come running But that’s on me, ‘cause foolishly I still believe that you might love me PRE Why’m I still loving you? Swear I’m not trying to All that you put me through It’s time to get over you CHORUS I put on my shoes and go for drinks with all my friends I laugh at all their jokes and swear I’m happier than I’ve ever been They say they’re surprised I’m fine with how this thing is ending But the truth, the truth is I’m pretending, I’m pretending The truth is I’m pretending

This One 02:44
lyrics
V1 Sometimes I wish that I could go back to the first time that we met Watch us from a distance, hang on every word we said Tap myself on the shoulder, gently whisper “listen close” You gotta breathe in every part of her ‘cause I know where this goes CHORUS You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one This one, this one, you’re gonna love this one V2 Wasn’t all that long ago I didn’t even know your name But when I heard it for the first time it was all that I could say There was always something different from the moment we began And looking in the rearview, I think someone had a plan CHORUS You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one This one, this one BRIDGE If I could go back, I’d slow down, I’d breathe you in I’d remember the sun and how it kissed your skin The smell of your hair and how it framed your face I would listen to the heart inside me say CHORUS You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love CHORUS You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one This one, this one

Unhear 02:31
lyrics
V1 Can we talk? Can we say what’s on our mind? Without arguing this time, about who’s wrong and who is right? Can we stop? This dam’s about to break, When you’re mad you show your hate, and you say things you shouldn’t say PRE Words are worse than sticks and stones, And they’ll forever hurt me, CHORUS You said you didn’t want me, When I needed you the most, You said I was controlling, When I asked why you’re not home, You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it V2 I let you go, but somehow you’re still here, Even after all these years, you’re still ringing in my ears I didn’t know, a tongue could cut so deep If you were stronger underneath, you wouldn’t need to make me feel so weak PRE Words are worse than sticks and stones, And they’ll forever hurt me CHORUS You said you didn’t want me, When I needed you the most, You said I was controlling, When I asked why you’re not home, You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it CHORUS You said you didn’t want me, When I needed you the most, You said I was controlling, I just asked why you’re not home, You’re trying to apologise and I’m trying to believe it But I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it

How I See It 04:36
lyrics
V1 I started my life with a suitcase My mom was just a kid, and we both had to grow up Could've been left without love, but I was chosen instead By a mom and a dad who would tuck me into bed With a song and a kiss on my forehead PRE And all my friends could see Is that it must be hard for me CHORUS That’s not how I see it, Not how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything could be tragic to me That’s not how I see it Not how I perceive it I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and i don’t think it hates me And that’s just how I see it V2 I had a choice when I was real young While other kids were climbing trees my friends life got taken by one Could’ve been scared of the world, whether I like it or not Thinking it shoulda been me, when a scar is all that I got Or maybe not PRE And all my friends could see Is that it must be hard for me CHORUS But that’s not how I see it, Not how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything could be tragic to me That’s not how I see it Not how I perceive it I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and i don’t think it hates me And that’s just how I see it V3 Well my love she left me in the winter And in 17 years the wind’s never felt so cold Could’ve been angry as hell, to be honest i was For a second I thought, it was my only chance at love But I know it’s not CHORUS And that’s just how I see it, That’s how I believe it You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is Everything feels like magic to me That’s just how I see it That’s how I perceive it ‘Cause I’m not gonna live in the past or try to change what I can’t This shit is a blessing to me I don’t hate the world, and I know it don’t hate me And that’s just how I see it

about

The title alone says a lot about the creation of this record. 12:34 is what’s known as an Angel Number, and it’s a number that I’ve seen repeatedly for the last few years. 12:34 can be seen as a number of progression and/or steps along a journey or life path, it indicates that you may have to put some hard work and effort towards a new project, venture or important life- change, and these will be of long-term benefit to yourself and your loved ones.

My life legit turned upside down. This album catalogues it, and is without question, the most honest piece of work I’ve ever contributed. Parts of it dissect the emotions and feelings (or lack of them) that are associated with grief, pain and loss, while other parts dive into new love, the excitement, the joy and the opportunity that comes with it!

I went through a roller coaster of emotions, and felt a sense of obligation to share it all in its rawest and purest form. I’ve always loved full albums because they share the whole story as an artist vs just single after single.
Don’t Feel Much came to me as a brutal awakening that by shutting off the painful parts, I actually shut off all feeling. Did I Ever is an homage to anyone that’s ever loved someone and thought they knew them deeply only to ask the question after a breakup if they ever actually knew them at all. Homeless is a release of worry, and the excitement in finding new love and a new life, while Wanted and Linger both dive into the intimate connection between two people and the desire that you can’t help but see, feel and want more of!

I wrote How I See It from a severely personal space. It’s a song that I hope resonates with anyone choosing to see things from a different angle, a positive one, and it’s not in any way discounting the shit they/we/us have gone through, but instead showing that those events made us stronger.
My Friends is a feel good, party song, that legit follows real life events where it was my friends that carried me through the weird times, the hard times and the fun times! Tequila honestly made me think I could play basketball. Turns out I can’t, but for a moment, I was awesome.

Ready for You is a song that taught me something, even though I wrote it! It was a pleasant reminder that the stuff we go through is often just a conditioning to prepare for something we couldn’t have ever imagined.
As a sum of all the parts, this album tells the tale of losing love, and finding love, and all the pieces in between. It’s my story, and I’m really fucking proud of it.
