about
I wrote this song when the doors to life had just reopened post-lockdown and I was, as I’m sure many of us were, ready to erupt. It was summer in New York City, I had just returned from nine months in Vancouver, and it was hot. We’re talking sweat dripping, sleeping on top of the sheets, too-hot-to-think kind of heat. In what felt like a blink of an eye, everything opened up and here we were, hermited heathens, given keys to the city. The energy was intense and, having spent so much time in isolation, when things finally came back and we were able to socialize again, I was overcome with urgency. I wanted to do it all, I wanted contact, I wanted to be around people, I wanted to be seen, I wanted to feel. I was vibrating and it was as overwhelming as it was exciting. Overstimulated is about the exhilarating part of reaching out and feeling it all again.

lyrics
Late night
Bright light
Call me on your phone
Stop sign
Red light
I try not to moan
You are something shiny
Like a disco ball
Like a disco, disco ball
And I can’t help but answer
Every time you call
Think you wanna get a little overstimulated with me
Electric shock your finger tips
And every time we kiss I can’t breathe
But I can see
Eyes closed
I don’t think I can
Take it much longer
Every colorful
Feeling
Is getting stronger
You are something fuzzy
Like an opiate utopia
And I can’t help but melt into
Your every touch
Cmon
Think you wanna get a little overstimulated with me
Electric shock your finger tips
And every time we kiss I can’t breathe
But I can see
Think you wanna get a little overstimulated with me
Electric shock your finger tips
And every time we kiss I can’t breathe
But I can see
I think you wanna get a little overstimulated with me
You've got me overstimulated
You’ve got me overstimulated
