about

People will mistake this for a regular declaratively poetic love song, but in reality it’s a twisted love song about a stalker I had in my life and the song is sung from their warped perspective. Like the title track ‘The Petty Narcissist (Arctic Ocean)’, it's dark content also masquerades as a catchy pop song. I‘d say the arrangement of the song is the give away to the psychosis of the stalker. Tie the arrangement together with the lyrics and it’s more obvious. I went thru a lot because of this sick individual. So the song is special to me in that writing it was cathartic.

lyrics

I want your love forever
Your love forever
It’s breaking my heart
Why do I want
What I can’t have

You’re a desire island
With sun shining
Blue skies up above
Your waves come
Crashing on my love

Know that I
I just want to be with you
I’d climb any mountain
Just to say

When your sun goes down
When night becomes your day
I just want to be with you
Only want to be with you

I want to live forever
To live forever
Deep inside your heart
It’s every chamber
Lies my fate

I want to be forever
To be forever
The only one you want
I pray that I am not too late

Know that I
I just want to stay with you
And I’ll keep on fighting everyday

When your sun goes down
When night becomes your day
I just want to be with you
Only want to be with you

When your world bares down
When skies become your grey
I just wanna stay with you
Only want to be with you

You’ve got sunshine
And blue skies
You’re all right
You’ve got sunshine
Why can’t I
Be by your side

Know that I, I just wanna be with you
And I’ll keep on fighting everyday

When your sun goes down
When night becomes your day
I just want to be with you
Only want to be with you

And when your world bares down
When skies become your grey
I just wanna stay with you
Only want to be with you

And when your sun goes down
When night becomes your day
I just want to stay with you
Only want to be with you

I want your love forever
Your love forever
It’s breaking my heart
Why do I want
What I can’t have...

about

Jason Shand New York, New York

Jason Shand's goal with this 14-song collection was to make a substantive personal pop album that not only caters to this single-driven era, but also caters to the old school era of having a full length album where each song flows into the other, taking the listener on a sonic storytelling ride.

"With every song being a potential single, I'd like to think I succeeded. Can't wait to release it!"
